About this listen
If nearly all climate scientists agree, why does it still feel like a 50/50 debate?
In this episode of The Climate Translation, Dr. Mac breaks down what scientific consensus actually means, and why it’s so often misunderstood or misrepresented in public conversations about climate change. Using clear analogies and real-world examples, he explains how consensus forms in science, why outliers get outsized attention, and how a handful of “celebrity skeptics” can distort public perception.
This episode gives you the tools to recognize false balance, understand why expert agreement matters, and talk more confidently about climate science without turning the conversation into a fight.
