The Iowa training — which will take community leaders and equip them with the knowledge and tools to communicate
effectively around climate change — is one of two trainings in the US this year — the other will take place in Miami, Florida in September.
The report is framed
around communicating about
climate change effectively — but read more closely and you'll quickly see that the reason we need help here to begin with is that humans have some pesky attributes, ones that render us pretty poor at grappling with slow - moving, long - range, collective problems like
climate change.
The goal of this campaign, which began
around the time of the first Kyoto Protocol negotiations, was to assemble a group of like - minded «free - market» think tanks and pseudo-science experts that would call into question the scientific research on
climate change, create doubt in the minds of the public and politicians, and
effectively delay the introduction of clean energy policies in the United States and elsewhere.
