Description: An analysis of why people with knowledge about climate change often fail to translate that knowledge into action.
Review Quotes: This is an extremely important intellectual contribution. Research on climate change and culture has been primarily focused on individual attitudinal change. This work brings a sociological perspective to our understanding of individual and collective responses to climate change information, and opens up a new research area. It also has important practical implications...This perspective calls for a much different approach to climate change communications, and defines a new agenda for this field.--Robert Brulle, The New York Times "Dot Earth"--
