Fighting climate change is the ultimate societal challenge, and the difficulty is not just in the wrenching adjustments required to cut greenhouse emissions and to respond to change already under way. A second and equally important difficulty is ensuring widespread public understanding of the natural and social science. This understanding is essential for an effective risk management strategy at a planetary scale. The scientific, economic, and policy aspects of climate change are already a challenge to communicate, without factoring in the distractions and deflections from organized programs of misinformation and denial. Here, four scholars, each with decades of research on the climate threat, take on the task of explaining our current understanding of the climate threat and what can be done about it, in lay language?importantly, without losing critical aspects of the natural and social science. In a series of essays, published during the 2020 presidential election, the COVID pandemic, and through the middle of 2022, they explain the essential components of the challenge, countering the forces of distrust of the science and opposition to a vigorous national response. Each of the essays provides an opportunity to learn about a particular aspect of climate science and policy within the complex context of current events. The overall volume is more than the sum of its individual articles. Proceeding each essay is an explanation of the context in which it was written, followed by observation of what has happened since its first publication. In addition to its discussion of topical issues in modern climate science, the book also explores science communication to a broad audience. Its authors are not only scientists ? they are also teachers, using current events to teach when people are listening. For preserving Earth?s planetary life support system, science and teaching are essential. Advancing both is an unending task. 606 $aClimatology 606 $aAmerica$xPolitics and government 606 $aCommunication in the environmental sciences 606 $aClimate Sciences 606 $aAmerican Politics 606 $aEnvironmental Communication 615 0$aClimatology. 615 0$aAmerica$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aCommunication in the environmental sciences. 615 14$aClimate Sciences. 615 24$aAmerican Politics. 615 24$aEnvironmental Communication. 676 $a363.738746 676 $a551.6 700 $aYohe$b Gary$01346728 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910682590903321 996 $aResponding to the climate threat$93388747 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01154nam0 22002771i 450 001 UON00211225 005 20231205103335.932 010 $a88-14-07099-7 100 $a20030730d1998 |0itac50 ba 101 $aita 102 $aIT 105 $a|||| ||||| 200 1 $aˆLe ‰autorità amministrative indipendenti$easpetti problematici$fLUISS$gFabio Severo Severi 210 $aMilano$cGiuffrè$d1998. 141 p. ; 22 cm. 410 1$1001UON00174520$12001 $aPubblicazioni del Centro di ricerca sulle amministrazioni pubbliche "Vittorio Bachelet".
