Climate science education can inform us all
Australia’s federal election is within the next eight months and voters should understand the major issues including the climate emergency. Climate advocate Ken Russell is concerned that the main problem is “lack of knowledge in the community about the climate problem”. So Russell urges “creation of an expert group to drive the communications campaign”.
In view of the popularity of Peter Dutton’s nuclear idea, it does seem that we need to educate the public and also MPs about the science. Fortunately, our nation has at least four climate experts who would qualify for such a group:
Tim Flannery The Climate Cure,
Karl Kruszelnicki, Dr Karl’s Little Book of Climate Change Science,
Joelle Gergis, Humanity’s Moment,
Julian Cribb, How to Fix a Broken Planet.
Professor Lesley Hughes should also be in the group. If there is any merit in the idea, these five should get going very soon with climate science for everyone.
