3: When scientists talk about the climate | Prof Jane Francis, Dr Emma Boland & Dr Ella Gilbert

Story or statistics? Urgency or alarmism? Top line or deep dive? Three climate scientists talk about the state of climate science in the media, and what they've learned about communicating about climate change to the general public. Tom Sheldon from the Science Media Centre speaks to BAS' Professor Dame Jane Francis, Dr Emma Boland and Dr Ella Gilbert, in a discussion that spans from the nitty gritty of what language they use, to describing their dream documentary series. We all want science experts to lead conversations about our climate in the media - but gathering the courage and experience to talk to the media is no mean feat. They share their top tips for talking about a topic that can seem scary and divisive, and what motivates them to keep going. --- Beyond the Ice helps you unpack the latest news in climate science with the experts at British Antarctic Survey. Our planet is changing at a rate and scale unlike anything seen in human history - and Earth's frozen places are the front line. After all, what happens in Antarctica doesn’t stay in Antarctica.
