Comment on The Kardashians, Global Warming, and Extreme Weather by Teresa Eastburn

Thanks to Mark for an excellent blog post regarding the importance of science literacy. I have frequently found when talking with groups with disparate views that scientific information coupled with a dose of metacognition regarding how we often know what we know based upon the cultures to which we belong (what Dan Kahan refers to as “cultural cognition”) can open minds and be a great discussion starter. It’s as if people intrinsically know cultural cognition is at work, if not for themselves then for many they know. it often levels the playing field between those who acknowledge anthropogenic climate change and deniers or skeptics. Best of all, it’s the most effective method I have found in 12 years of talking about climate to get people to listen to the scientific evidence – truly listen. Climate change without knowledge of the scientific evidence is a bit like the ol’ “if a tree falls in the forrest…” debate. Knowledge of the scientific cause and consequences doesn’t ensure meaningful and needed policy, but without science literacy on this and other critical issues, I fear meaningful and needed policy will never materialize.

Indeed, Considering that new strategies are needed to get information across is different from claiming that illiteracy doesn’t matter.

Steven C. Rockefeller, professor emeritus of religion at Middlebury College and Laurence Rockefeller’s nephew, arranged for the Dalai Lama’s visit to Middlebury in 1990. Actually, the invitation to the Dalai Lama was issued immediately following his first visit to Middlebury in 1984 for an interfaith symposium called The Christ and the Bodhisattva arranged by Donald S. Lopez, who was also a professor of religion, and Steven Rockefeller. As a librarian at Middlebury from 1980-2002, I helped out in various small ways for both symposia.

It would be great if Krosnik would share his data on ““What will be the most important problem facing the world in the future if nothing is done to stop it?,” the results were reversed: Global warming ranked No. 1.” He’s done a lot of research and finding it in all that isn’t easy…
