SUMMARY:“Piercing the Fog of Misinformation:” Communicating the Case for Climate Action
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by New York City Yale Club\nWe live in a time when it is possible to choose from almost limitless sources of information — many of which traffic in misinformation and outright disinformation and serve to reinforce the confirmation biases of their consumers. This is especially so with respect to perspectives on environmental issues, including climate change.As a society, if we wish to have leaders who recognize and are willing to address our environmental challenges, it is critical to ensure we have an informed and motivated electorate. Scientists and writers must continually work to develop and refine effective strategies to communicate the enormity — and the urgency — of our environmental challenges in order to pierce the fog created by self-serving economic and political interests.Our panel is comprised of prominent Yale scholars and alumni who understand the science of climate change and are accomplished journalists and authors. Our goal is to undertake a conversation pointedly focused on how scientists and writers can better communicate, not only to policy makers but to the general public as well,  in order to bridge our wide partisan divide.\nPanelists include:\nNeela Banerjee, Chief Climate Editor at NPR\nPaul Sabin\nRoger Cohn, Founder & Editor Yale Environment 360, Yale School of Environment\nMichael E. Mann, Presidential Distinguished Professor of Earth and Environmental Science and Director of Penn Center for Science, Sustainability and the Media, University of Pennsylvania\nEmily Raboteau\n
