Thanks for such an insightful and detailed review! I was the lead curator on the exhibit, and it was (and still is) a significant challenge for us. The exhibit is not static, and the Academy will continue to work on it as the science and other aspects of the climate change problem evolve.

Thanks for the kind words, Chris! I was part of the team that created the exhibit – I wrote the content for the Arena for Engagement – and we really hoped we would draw people in.

I agree that it’s hard to bust people out of their pre-conceived notions and filters; hopefully, by taking part in the exhibit’s activities, people will at least be moved a little bit. I think that’s the trick, really – moving people slowly, incrementally, until this all becomes second nature and people are living green as a matter of course.
