Thereโ€™s always a problem in PR trying to reconcile what your client says withย what people choose to hear. Peopleโ€™s attitudes are informed by their biases; their ability to listen is affected by theirย preconceptions.

Then, the next time a politician or business leader says โ€œitโ€™s too expensive to make even the slightest effort to forestall climate change,โ€ you can hear, โ€œand who cares about Vanuatu,ย anyway?โ€
