The Climate Consensus is a growing network of concerned students, faculty, and staff from various universities who seek to create a culture shift within academia. Under the traditional academic model, communication of science is often limited to peer-reviewed journals and professional conferences, all of which are targeted toward other scientists. There have been too few accolades for breaking out of our university silos. In contrast, our network is supporting, encouraging, and inspiring scientists to engage in dialog with their local communities, specifically about human-caused climate change. By building capacity for the next generation of scientists to speak up for truth and our future, we have an immense opportunity to shape public opinion on this topic and to motivate real action.
