News headlines vie for attention and it is easy for scientists to grab this attention by linking climate change to the latest extreme weather event or apocalyptic prediction. But in doing so, the public perception of climate change can be distorted. This message is more difficult to get heard. Vicky Pope, Met Office. Earlier post.).
