I'm increasingly convinced climate change is a psychological problem. We know what the problem is, we know it's urgent and we know how to solve it (principally, by using less stuff). So what's stopping us? And why do most people carry on as if there's nothing to worry about?
Two recent publications offer some insight.
Firstly, this month's New Scientist has a feature on denialism, and what motivates it.
Secondly, Futerra Communications, a UK green communications consultancy, has published an online guide on how to get the climate change message across.
Futerra's key point is this: people are motivated to action by positive messages, not negative ones. Bad news turns people off, and they stop listening.
