re: #29 Charles

Q: Can arrangements be made to get funding (or request donations of time/services) for a PSA type campaign to raise awareness about climate change and other environmental issues in a way that everyone can understand? I think a large part of the problem is that, for many people, science is intimidating and all the charts and numbers and graphs look like so much confusing, meaningless gibberish.

I’m talking about clear, simple info graphics, posters, maybe TV spots—things that would be easily digestible to someone with, say, only a high school education. For starters, explain what a “theory” is in scientific terms, not according the generally understood definition. Stuff like that. Then move on to the more complex things.

I’m especially concerned about AGW because in the Pew Research Center’s most recent report on public priorities, it comes in dead last.
