The climate question and the difficult dialogue between scientists and policy-makers
Thierry LEBEL - hydroclimatologue à l'Institut de recherche pour le développement et l'Institut des géosciences de l’environnement de Grenoble
Résumé
The health crisis endured by humankind since the onset of the SARS-CoV-2 may be seen as a foretaste of the climate shocks that are poised to upset our lives in coming decades. This concerns both the socio-economic implications of such crises and the role played by scientific expertise in diagnosing problems and remedying them.
In the case of the Covid-19 pandemic, some scientists have done remarkable work explaining and popularizing the issues it raised, but outlandish, unfounded ideas have emerged too, some of which have been passed on or indeed amplified by the media and policy-makers. How, then, are scientists to cope with situations in which their truth runs counter to political agendas and short-term business interests, as well as upsetting the beliefs of the electorate.
