Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research and
The Great Debate present
Public distrust of experts has become a hot topic recently, notably in the discussions surrounding Brexit and the US presidential election. This gives rise to serious questions about what part expertise should play in decision making and whether this is compatible with democracy. What does this mean for climate change policy? Some argue that, given the scientific consensus on climate change, policy should be driven by the experts. Others argue that the science of climate change is only a small part of the story when it comes to making decisions about, for example, energy policy. So, how much weight should be given to the views of climate scientists? How do we make the right decisions about our future? This event explored these issue with a panel of speakers in conversation with an audience made up of members of the Tyndall Centre and the general public.
Speakers: Chair: Caspar Hewett, Director, The Great Debate
