   global warming simply fails to evoke a visceral, emotional reaction. And without powerful emotions, there cannot be powerful responses. ^{link »}

   Colorado ski areas, for example, will suffer at the same time that Pacific islands will be swallowed whole by the sea. While it may seem silly or even perverse to play a violin for the projected melting on the ski slopes of Vail, the fact is that many more Americans will visit — and become emotionally attached to — Vail than they ever will Tuvalu ^{link »}

   people are often freely willing to cooperate if they can identify with a group (through messages designed to, say, evoke civic responsibility); that people become much more serious about a problem if they have an active role in solving it, instead of being passive recipients of wisdom from above; and that people will think long term so long as they are primed to think that way at the right moment (as in the case of families who save for their children’s college education). ^{link »}

    Calculate the Odds The heuristic I suggest is: hear the corner case objections, make the objector calculate the odds, if the potential damage estimate is low (probability of the event occurring multiplied by its ability to put you out of business) keep the meeting focussed and move on.  If you do this consistently your team will catch on. ^{link »}
