Review: Don’t Even Think About It by George Marshall
Unlike most books on the subject, which try to convince people using science, Don’t Even Think About It examines why the science doesn’t convince people.

The oil industry has corrupted the Keystone XL environmental assessment process just as it has hijacked the climate change debate and interfered with action.

Working Group II put out their state of the climate for AR5 this March and finally worked out how to communicate climate change.
Can an IPCC report or a star-studded Showtime mini-series change the way people talk and think about climate change?
The U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has issued its second of four planned reports examining the state of climate science…As with every recent IPCC report, it is super-cautious to a fault and yet still incredibly alarming.
While climate change is certainly a fact of the physical world, at its core it’s a social problem, born of our cultural emphasis on consumerism and growth.
Two years ago, I stumbled onto an idea that just may be the solution to climate change or, more accurately, the paradigm through which innovative solutions will be widely implemented around the world that reduce our collective impact on the environment. No, it is not a “tech fix” in the form of new gadgets that people use. Nor is it a piece of legislation that places a price signal on carbon emissions (although that remains essential as part of the restructuring of our economic systems as we transition to sustainable models). Simply put, it is a way of sharing good ideas so they spread far and wide.
