I caught the end of this programme last night. Very interesting.

Heard an interesting point being made that Climate Change denial was a "normal" rational psychological response when faced with the double fears of the frightening impact of climate change and scary thought of low carbon lifestyles being forced upon you.

I particularly liked the idea of emphasising the benefits of low carbon living rather than the hair shirt approach to negate the double negative. Yes Climate Change is awful – but making changes can be fun and lead you to a more satisfying, healthy and community based way of living.

Very interesting – I may need to modify my sales technique Embarassed

It's amazing how the rational mind manages to ignore what and how we really think. It reminded me of this eye opening talk I saw a while ago by a french behavioural economist…
