Blogue SHIFT | Podcasting climate change between tragedy and comedy

Hoje no Blogue SHIFT, Enrique Pinto-Coelho (ICS-ULisboa) desenvolve uma reflexão acerca da comunicação da ciência acerca das alterações climáticas. Este post a não perder é intitulado “Podcasting climate change between tragedy and comedy“.

Climate change is a scientific fact (thoroughly documented in the latest IPCC report) but so are our psychological obstacles to accept the need for action. This existential challenge has been under the media spotlight at least since the late 1980s and, despite the increasing availability of information, the world has not been putting in place effective responses.In recent years of apparent saturation of sombre discussions, humorous approaches – such as satire and comedy – are progressively looked to as potentially useful vehicles to meet people where they are on climate change.”
