Climate Change and Human Behaviour
In 2006, I began to wonder why the world’s response to climate change has been so lack lustre – why do people just not seem to get it?
Thus began a quest for understanding, which led to the following articles, exploring how the vagaries of the human mind affect our response to climate change and to climate change messages.
The mental adventure left me thinking that, maybe, we environmentalists and climate campaigners were the ones who didn’t quite get it.
