how might the way climate change is discussed in the media and by politicians influence climate change research and funding for that research? how can bias, beliefs, assumptions, and values influence what we know and how we approach contemporary global issues related to the natural sciences?

If politicians and people discuss climate change with the the seriousness it deserves, people may start to put their money toward earth saving projects. Bias, beliefs, assumptions, and values influence what we know and how we approach these issues in the way that some people still refuse to believe climate change is real. People can jump to conclusions and say the world is too far gone, or not gone at all. This is why the general public should be better educated about climate change and how detrimental it is to our ecosystems and environment.
