Talking about climate change could reduce global warming, says new study

Social learning matters in arresting climate change, just as much as geophysical factors like plant respiration or solar reflectivity of the earth’s surface, says a surprising new study. In a pioneering model of socio-climate interaction, researchers linked social dynamics to predicted climate changes themselves, to come up with better ways of preventing climate change mitigation.
