Despite the scientific consensus on the climate emergency, governments and politicians are still reluctant to listen to scientists. One of the most influential historians of science, the American Naomi Oreskes, helps us understand why we can trust climate science and then some.

She explains why it is so important for scientists to be able to communicate what they are doing, even when they fail, and why the public wants to understand this process better.

Watch this Science and Education Month conference, with commentary from biochemist and science communicator David Marçal and moderation by journalist Vasco Trigo.
