It’s complicated, and audiences may respond on a wide variety of emotional and

and NASA science and education specialists to learn from each other about climate science 
and communication. We’ll cover some basics of the science, and explore appropriate techniques for
addressing this subject with a variety of audiences, including youth. Abundant
interpretation, education and scientific resources will be provided to support
participants’ climate change interpretation efforts.
