Slaying the "zombies" of climate science | Dr. Marshall Shepherd | TEDxAtlanta
About This Talk
One of the nation's leading climate scientists explains how he goes about knocking down the "zombie theories" that plague our discussions about climate change. What is a zombie theory? Says Shepherd: "It's one of those theories that scientists have refuted or disproven time and time again, but they live on like zombies in the blogs and on the radio stations."
