What do interested audiences think about climate change, the role of science and the Baltic Sea?

Abstract

When discussing issues related to climate change, and in particular the process and results of BACC, I have recently used our “Turning Point” technology (for a voting pad, see Figure) to map the opinions among the audience. This system allows showing questions and different answer possibilities on the screen, and the participants respond by pressing a number of the pad – the frequency is determined by software on the laptop. When the voting is complete, the result is shown on the screen – visible for everybody. The voting itself is anonymous, as nobody can really see which number the neighbor is pressing.
