We partner with leading academic teams to research some of the most
central questions about climate change communication and translate this work into practical resources and workshops for our partners.
Here are four
central questions about climate change, together with brief answers based on the current best scientific understanding of climate change and links to more detailed information.
Throughout the
intense questioning about climate change issues, the «Clean Power» Plan, and the Waters of the U.S. rule, McCarthy repeatedly stressed the importance of protecting the health of American children and the wellbeing of future generations.
While far from the «breaking news» MTV created with a «boxers vs briefs» question to Bill Clinton, MTV interviewer Sway Calloway did what journalist moderators at the three presidential and one vice-presidential debates were unable (unwilling) to do: ask a quite

On a five - point scale, most climate scientists (72 %) more or less agreed that «climate scientists should tell the public more clearly that
many questions about climate change are still unresolved».
The BBC team used clever analogies and appealing graphics to discuss three key numbers that help clarify
important questions about climate change: 0.85 degrees Celsius — how much the Earth has warmed since the 1880s; 95 % — how sure scientists are that human activity is the major cause of Earth's recent warming; and one trillion tons — the best estimate of the amount of carbon that can be burned before risking dangerous climate change.
Senator Enverga: I have
a question about climate change.
«We can use this information to look at
questions about climate change or human impact on environments by seeing how, over time, the ranges of insect species have changed.»
«In the past, a typical climate scientist's response to
questions about climate change's role in any given extreme weather event was, «We can not attribute any single event to climate change.»
In response to
a question about climate change at his Senate confirmation hearing, Trump's secretary of energy, Rick Perry, replied that «the question is how do we address it in a thoughtful way that doesn't compromise economic growth, the affordability of energy, or American jobs.»
As that report noted, «In the past, a typical climate scientist's response to
questions about climate change's role in any given extreme weather event was «we can not attribute any single event to climate change.»
The report endorsed the 97 percent consensus, but, as the New York Times reiterated, «That is not the same as claiming that
all questions about climate change have been answered.
The question about climate change is no longer whether it is real.
We hope that people who have
