Week 5 discussion- Social Intelligence 210

You may have seen dramatic “worst-case” scenarios for global climate change presented in movies such as Geostorm (2017), The Day After Tomorrow (2004), or Waterworld (1995).

What of these impacts might be of the greatest concern in communicating risks to the public?
