Evolution of Empathy and the Ways That It's Shaped Our Society
http://wimp.com/empathyevolution

George Marshall
http://climate denial.org
Part one: Risk and Beliefs
Risk – and why we don’t feel threatened by climate change
Belief – why we can’t just accept the information and need to believe in it
Attention – how avoiding talking about climate change is like avoiding talking about human rights
atrocities
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOsl5-AUTv4
Part two: Communication
Stories – the way we mediate information about climate change. The problem with polar bears and why
human rights organisations are more interested in ice cream than climate change.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Da1zW3dG_ko
Part three: Defenses
Distancing – the strategies we adopt to keep the information at arm’s length
Compartmentalising – how we can accept climate change and continue polluting behaviour
Positive Framing – how we seek to turn climate change into a personal advantage
Ethical Offsets – how we adopt the easiest behaviours as proof of our virtue
Cynicism- the commercial appropriation of climate change images
