An Ode to Bias: Putting the Climate Cat Amongst the Pigeons

By Dr Tom Philp and Dr John Wardman, Maximum Information

9 November 2023

​

From Donald Trump to Greenpeace, there is a wide spectrum of opinion when it comes to climate change and its impacts on hazards and disasters.

​

Here we put as many spins on the science as possible to uncover what we know, what we don't know - and even what we can't know - to prepare you for the multifarious audiences you have to face as practioners in a market affected by severe climate uncertainty.

​
