It is seen over and over. In a discussion about climate change, the sceptic points out it’s freezing in the US with record cold temperatures. So climate change is not happening. Conversation is derailed. They will not be convinced. This is despite overwhelming evidence that climate change is happening. And we know the cause. But the sceptic says no. And while people are dying, Covid is not happening. We’ve all seen this. So what to do? How do you counter these views? Tim Flannery and Robyn Williams at Hobart’s Beaker Street Festival tackle the problem of how to approach people who despite a mountain of evidence, won’t be convinced.
