In his revealing essay, Bruce Melton tells us that there is a serious disconnection between climate science and the public’s knowledge of climate change — a “fundamental blindness” he calls it. The information being discovered by the scientists is staggering — the evidence in the academic literature is overwhelming — but the means to mine this information out of the academic jargon and deliver it to the people is lacking. Bruce says we are now facing what scientists call “dangerous” or “catastrophic” climate change that “threatens our very existence on this planet.”
