    Third day of #AGU13, I’m starting off with a session on climate literacy.

    Jen Davison@JenEDavison
    First up, Ed Maibach with @YaleClimateComm on their campaign to convey the consensus on human-caused climate change. #AGU13

    Wed, Dec 11 2013 08:01:26

  6. JenEDavison

    Jen Davison@JenEDavison
    Maibach: the fact that the public does not understand the scientific consensus on climate change is both widespread and damaging. #AGU13

    Wed, Dec 11 2013 08:02:45

  7. JenEDavison

    Jen Davison@JenEDavison
    .@MaibachEd: If only 15% of US adults understand scientific consensus on climate change, then solutions will not come about. #AGU13

    Wed, Dec 11 2013 08:03:51

  8. JenEDavison

    Jen Davison@JenEDavison
    .@MaibachEd cites Lewandowsky et al (2013): pivotal role of perceived scientific consensus in acceptance of science (Nat Clim Change) #AGU13

    Wed, Dec 11 2013 08:04:42

  9. JenEDavison

    Jen Davison@JenEDavison
    .@MaibachEd and Rob Gould are working w AAAS to “set the record straight” re: scientific consensus about human-caused climate change. #AGU13

    Wed, Dec 11 2013 08:09:24

  11. JenEDavison

    Jen Davison@JenEDavison
    .@MaibachEd tested statements like “97 out of 100”, “overwhelming majority” re: climate consensus. More precise #s were best. #AGU13

    Wed, Dec 11 2013 08:09:51

  12. JenEDavison

    Jen Davison@JenEDavison
    .@MaibachEd: statement of science consensus starting w “based on the evidence” was slightly more effective than just leading w the % #AGU13

    Wed, Dec 11 2013 08:10:41

  13. JenEDavison

    Jen Davison@JenEDavison
    .@MaibachEd: stating alternative claims is NOT helpful. Stating the facts/truth of consensus is most effective. #AGU13

    Wed, Dec 11 2013 08:11:11

  14. JenEDavison

    Jen Davison@JenEDavison
    .@MaibachEd: It helps to get people to state their estimate of consensus & then tell them the reality. #AGU13

    Wed, Dec 11 2013 08:12:08

  15. JenEDavison

    Jen Davison@JenEDavison
    .@MaibachEd: The process of de-biasing ppls’ understanding of scientific consensus was most effective w politically conservative #AGU13

    Wed, Dec 11 2013 08:13:27

  16. JenEDavison

    Jen Davison@JenEDavison
    Rob Gould: AAAS communicating climate consensus: 3 R’s. 1. Reality: scientists are convinced; impacts are happening… #AGU13

    Wed, Dec 11 2013 08:15:56

  17. JenEDavison

    Jen Davison@JenEDavison
    Gould: 2nd R= risk: could get worse, could experience surprises. 3rd R= response: the sooner the better, & there’s a lot we can do. #AGU13

    Wed, Dec 11 2013 08:16:51

  18. JenEDavison

    Jen Davison@JenEDavison
    Next, Scott Denning – “I’m not a warmist! transcending ideological barriers in climate communication” #AGU13

    Wed, Dec 11 2013 08:17:58

  19. JenEDavison

    Jen Davison@JenEDavison
    Denning  http://bit.ly/1bWCA6T  reminds us that scientists are necessary but not sufficient for solving climate change. #AGU13

    @JenEDavison @MaibachEd Media’s equal time for deniers is done for ratings…Like each side was a football team…Outrages !

    Wed, Dec 11 2013 08:20:00

  21. JenEDavison

    Jen Davison@JenEDavison
    Denning cites Kahan et al. 2012 showing that an increase in science literacy can polarize views even more.  http://bit.ly/1f7fnwJ  #AGU13

    Wed, Dec 11 2013 08:20:27

    Jen Davison@JenEDavison
    Denning: The rational mind is like a rider on top of the giant elephant that is our emotional/intuitive beast. #AGU13

    Wed, Dec 11 2013 08:22:09

  23. JenEDavison

    Jen Davison@JenEDavison
    Denning: if you want to reach someone, “talk to their elephant” (i.e., their intuitive mind). #AGU13

    Faith Kearns@frkearns
    @JenEDavison hard thing is that the “elephant” is the non-talking part. Works in symbols, imagery, non-verbal communication…

    Wed, Dec 11 2013 09:43:00

  25. JenEDavison

    Jen Davison@JenEDavison
    It’s great to see a climate scientist talking about his own experience talking to people about climate science. “It’s about ideology” #AGU13

    Wed, Dec 11 2013 08:24:56

  26. JenEDavison

    Jen Davison@JenEDavison
    Denning has spoken to the Heartland Institute about climate change:  http://bit.ly/1bWDKPH  #AGU13

    Wed, Dec 11 2013 08:27:22

  27. JenEDavison

    Jen Davison@JenEDavison
    Denning: “when I spoke at Heartland there were hundreds of people, and they all were carrying hockey sticks”. Talk about pressure! #AGU13

    Wed, Dec 11 2013 08:28:02

  28. JenEDavison

    Jen Davison@JenEDavison
    Denning: Climate change is Simple, Serious, Solvable. #AGU13

    Wed, Dec 11 2013 08:29:15

    Michael E. Mann@MichaelEMann
    Great @markfischetti @sciam piece on @hurricanejim‘s @theAGU talk “Tornadoes May Be Getting Stronger or Not” #AGU13  http://fb.me/2wsHDrh55 

    Wed, Dec 11 2013 08:29:35

    Jen Davison@JenEDavison
    Denning: Our modern lifestyle is not because of coal/gas; it’s because of us, our ingenuity. We can use this to solve climate change #AGU13

    Wed, Dec 11 2013 08:35:22

  31. JenEDavison

    Jen Davison@JenEDavison
    Mica Estrada, w Climate Education Partners: If ppl have a community w which to discuss climate change, they will engage more fully. #AGU13

    Wed, Dec 11 2013 08:40:43

  32. JenEDavison

    Jen Davison@JenEDavison
    Estrada: Based on research in San Diego, Latinos are more knowledgeable & concerned about climate change than non-Latinos. #AGU!3

    Jen Davison@JenEDavison
    Nicole Holthius presented great findings from the Climate Change Education Project:  http://stanford.io/1gpnzw5  #AGU13

  34. JenEDavison

    Jen Davison@JenEDavison
    Great discussion here in the “Climate Literacy” session abt how to engage ppl re: climate change. It comes down to audience & trust. #AGU13
