The battle between those scientists who believe in climate change and those who deny it continues to rage. Al Gore recently hosted an around-the-clock web broadcast entitled “24 Hours of Climate Reality.” A “map of climate change denial” was recently published in the New York Times detailing ideological and economics links in “the denial machine.” Deniers are unconvinced and see a vast liberal conspiracy built on shoddy science.
I am a climate change believer. I see it as one of the Pillar Trends that has the power to reshape our world and the way we live. However, I must ask: is the war for truth one that can be won?
In my latest paper, I explore the epistemology of climate change science. My conclusion is that more physical science is likely not the answer. One must turn to the social sciences to better understand how we learn and come to hold the beliefs that we consider to be the “truth.”

I work with leaders to build their resilience and increase their impact on the organizations and communities they lead. I am a writer, speaker and conversation catalyst, teacher, and consultant. I draw inspiration from nature, the complex environments of cities, and the seemingly endless creativity of my fellow humans.
