• Resumen

  • Daniel Kahneman said he really sees no path to success on climate change. Kahneman regards climate change as a perfect trigger: a distant problem that requires sacrifices now to avoid uncertain losses far in the future. This combination is exceptionally hard for people to accept. His views are widely shared by cognitive psychologists. People from other disciplines also seem to view climate change as a "perfect" problem. Here, Marshall examines the amorphous nature of climate change that creates the ideal conditions for human denial and cognitive bias to come to the fore.
