Episode notes
We live in a world overflowing with climate data, so why does it still feel so hard to believe what’s happening?
In this inaugural episode of The Climate Translation, Dr. Mac explores the disconnect between overwhelming scientific evidence and our very human difficulty processing change at a planetary scale. Drawing on decades of experience as a meteorologist and educator, he breaks down why terms like “parts per million” and “global averages” fail to resonate, and how simple analogies can make the science finally click.
From ice cores to dinner-table conversations, this episode lays the foundation for understanding not just what the climate data says, but why it so often gets lost along the way.
