摘要

Hot talk Americans' understanding of climate science is declining just as climate change itself is accelerating. Feeling lucky that the problem is about communication, Google.org, the search engine's philanthropic wing, picked 21 climate researchers with a gift for gab to. receive training in new media and data sharing. Edwin Maurer, a civil engineering professor at California's University of Santa Clara and one of the "Google Science Communication Fellows," says the training just might bridge the gap between "the consensus on global warming and the misunderstanding by a large fraction of the public."
