I enjoyed "circling the wagons" today and having a discussion about science, climate change, how to effectively communicate with your audience, etc. After the seeming lack of enthusiasm in our discussions about discussions, I was pleased that everyone contributed and I hope that you got as much out of the discussion as I did.
I think that you identified two critically important issues today. First, how do we deal with the portion of the public that is suspicious of science for religious or political reasons? Second, how do we defuse the tendency for people to think of issues in a "partisan" way? For example, is recycling a Republican/conservative, Democratic/liberal, or a "people" issue?
