science still faces the dilemma articulated by the late Steve Schneider and misrepresented by his adversaries — how do we best ensure that the public arrives at an accurate understanding of climate change, when the «sound bite» limits on our speaking time to the media force us to choose between making a few

points we
believe important but without acknowledging uncertainties?

believe (and we have been examining and discussing at length on this site for more than 8 years now) the principal drivers of the polarization are coming more from: (1) the corporate energy interests who are protecting their profits against regulation and other policies that would move the system away from fossil fuels, and using their clout in the political process to tie things up; (2) right - wing anti-government and anti-regulatory ideologues whose political views appear threatened by scientific conclusions that
point toward a need for stronger policy action; (3) people whose religious or cultural identities appear threatened by modern
science; and so forth.
