Stephan Lewandowsky – Climate Science And Motivated Reasoning

AGU 2014 Tidbits – Anecdotes And Stories From The Front Lines Of Science

During the AGU Fall Meeting I had the honor of working with Peter Sinclair of Climate Denial Crock of the Week and John Cook of Skeptical Science, interviewing an amazing line-up of scientists and science communicators. I’m floored by who we interviewed and could have a chat with. Everyone brought their A game which gave us some incredible footage.

Video description

His recent research focusses on the public's understanding of science and why people reject well established scientific facts. In this clip Lewandowsky talks a bit on the causes of science denial.
