Abstract

This article details the factors that must be considered in the communication of climate change to generate citizen engagement. Among other aspects, it talks about the importance of changing journalistic routines such as contrast, for which skeptics and deniers are included in the news. Good contents simplify, without being reductionist. In addition, they focus on science and its method and do not fall into scientism.
