Latency, lag time, feedbacks, ect, [label it as you wish] are in full force as evidenced by a rapid shift in our climate/weather. <br /><br />For those who 'get it', a sense of dread should be seeping in right about now. Especially if one notices that much of our food is imported now [SA] And toxic algae is destroying Earth's water. Also, local weather changes are reaking havoc on everyday life. http://floodlist.com/america/usa<br /><br />People such as Sam Carana & James Hansen are indispensable for the few who realize we are in a 6th mass extinction event..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3046701423623795423.post-16370969522553980322018-02-03T00:49:53.932-08:002018-02-03T00:49:53.932-08:00I suggest a way to make it clear and urgently rele...I suggest a way to make it clear and urgently relevant is to say something like: We are in imminent danger of not having food and water for everyone. Imagine what things will be like when people are hungry and no food available. The changes in the climate are disrupting the weather over the places where we grow our food. These changes are producing floods, droughts and temperature shifts that are reducing crop production. It is getting more severe month by month. It is only a matter of time before it affects the major crop producing areas and it already has in Russia. Imaging being a farmer when the rain comes too early or too late...the warm times come too early or too late....and the crops fail. There will not be enough food to feed everyone. This is already happening and will increase dramatically. We need to ACT RIGHT NOW or watch many of our children grow weak and fail with hunger. This is already happening to our shame.

I have also wondered why the scientific community hasn’t figured out that most people in general (including most politicians) have little or no grasp of basic science, especially when you fill your messaging with buzz words and acronyms.<br /><br />Think about it this way. Once you include a secondary language (scientific) to your messaging, the messaging immediately becomes inaccessible to the general public. I know you still have to maintain the nuances and accuracy of what you’re trying to get across, but to the average person, most of what is being said sounds convoluted and out of sync.<br /><br />I think the scientific community needs to slow down a communications step or two to get this urgent and necessary messaging out to the masses. Not an easy task but one worth pursuing.<br /><br />Basic questions and answers, straightforward analogies, specifics, interesting stories, no jargon, and a proper non-scientific presentation, and then learn from the feedback to make the adjustments to the next set of messages.<br /><br />There is no one I know in any walk of life who does not want to understand better, the crisis situation our planet is in weather wise today.<br /><br />( Sam, your efforts are truly appreciated. )Doug Sneddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05362444991248084856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3046701423623795423.post-8891664952212878102018-02-02T20:47:32.297-08:002018-02-02T20:47:32.297-08:00Yes, I often wonder about that, Doug.

Something is wrong with the messaging regarding global warming - climate change. Most of what is presented is not palatable to the general public or to those who are in charge and able to contribute to the bigger picture problems. The science may be sound but the messaging is not clear.Doug Sneddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05362444991248084856noreply@blogger.com
