From my experience, most people love science when it’s presented in an entertaining and understandable way. See the major success of Sagan’s series and many, many others. Check out the popularity of MythBusters for example. And not that long ago PBS ran a program on dogs and their evolutionary history with humans. I saw people talking about that on all kinds of blogs and elsewhere. This is the way to get people interested in science and to teach concepts.

and there is almost no way to talk about climate change that makes for entertaining TV, that is a major drawback into gaining acceptance for the theory.
