More and more, I’m asking scientists not just about the science of climate change, but about their emotional reactions to what the data is telling them.
It’s going to be critical in explaining the science, “to allow people to emotionally respond to it”, as Andrea Dutton told me.
I also spoke to Jeffrey Kiehl, who, in addition to being a leading paleoclimatologist, took a degree in clinical psychology to help him better understand human reactions to climate science, and ice expert Twila Moon.
