» More Than Scientists Video: Let’s Not Treat This as a Big Fight by Lisa Dilling

Will our kids get to see the beauty of our planet? As someone who’s always loved the amazing beauty she sees around her, especially within the oceans, Prof. Lisa Dilling has dedicated herself to caring for it. And she asks, let’s not treat climate change as a big fight. Let’s look for opportunities to speak across world views and look for common ground.

In this project, Fall semester ‘Climate and Film’ (ATLS 3519/EBIO 4460) students and Spring semester ‘Creative Climate Communication’ (ENVS3173/THTR4173) students, along with the More than Scientists campaign, create and produce a short video based on an interview of a climate scientist in the local Boulder area, depicting human/personal dimensions of their work.

These scientists work at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES), the Institute for Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR), Wester Water Assessment(WWA), the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC), the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) and various other units at CU-Boulder (e.g. Atmospheric Sciences Department, Environmental Studies Program, Geography Department, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Department).
