想象一下这个场景。15人在彭里斯小镇的一个教堂大厅里，彭里斯小镇位于英格兰湖区的边缘，英格兰最北部的议会选区之一。这些人被选中是为了反映整个选区的组成，包括年龄、社会背景和政治观点，他们被告知是为了参加一些研究。在那天早上到达之前，他们甚至不知道这项研究是关于什么的。然后他们被告知他们将发表对气候变化的看法，特别是关于政府在管理气候危机中的作用。但是，随着关于气候变化的科学和影响的讨论的进行，与会者产生了一种压倒一切的感觉：一种困惑的感觉。
Picture the scene. Fifteen people in a church hall in the small town of Penrith, on the edge of the English Lake District, one of the most northerly English parliamentary constituencies. The people have been selected to mirror the make-up of the constituency as a whole, in terms of age, social background and political outlook, and they’ve been told they are there to take part in some research. Before they arrived that morning, they didn’t even know what the research was about.Then they were told they would be giving their views on climate change, and specifically, on the role of government in managing the climate crisis. But as discussions about the science and impacts of climate change got under way, there was one overriding feeling emerging from the participants: a feeling of confusion.
