Very interesting to all climate communicators and policy makers, also since the chunk of the lecture video is on denial in each of us.
Per Espen Stoknes: Why and how can psychology be applied to the issue of climate change? Recorded at the Psychology of Climate seminar, 28 September 2012. Possible new climate policies are introduced. http://climatestate.com/climate-state-blog/videos/item/why-climate-and-psychology-2.html
