\u201cthe planet isn\u2019t just changing, its changed,\u201d thomas wagner, nasa <\/span>cryosphere program scientist says at the top of our video. <\/span><\/p>\n

we would not be the first to use that specific quote from wagner prominently either. looking back at news stories wagner had been quoted in, <\/span>reuters, the huffington post and <\/span>al-jazeera america all used a <\/span>nearly identical quote from wagner from a teleconference call with the press <\/span>about new sea level data in august 2015.<\/span><\/p>\n

over the past few years wagner has been a source for the new york times, the washington post, the los angeles times, pbs <\/span>newshour, <\/span>newsweek and fox news. our own interview with wagner faced a time <\/span>constraint as he had a televised interview scheduled after ours. <\/span><\/p>\n

wagner\u2019s vast usage as a source, and some of his practiced\/repeated key-points highlight an important job researchers have that is easy to overlook. <\/span><\/p>\n

environmental scientists looking at climate change are not only responsible for discovery, but for effectively communicating those discoveries. <\/span><\/p>\n

when i mentioned to wagner that about his frequent media appearances he said, \u201cyou know what it is, it gets easier the more you do it. (it\u2019s) <\/span>kinda <\/span>like after a while you build up answers to the questions.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

but there is more to it than him publishing a report. he needs to explain it to informants in a way that is easy to understand. wagner spent six years as a <\/span>professor at the university of papua new guinea before he moved on to nasa, <\/span>which most likely plays a role in wagner being able to effectively communicate <\/span>his message to reporters and the general public. <\/span><\/p>\n

unless the masses start flocking to nasa\u2019s blogs, it will be up to mega-sources like wagner to get the message out through various news outlets through <\/span>a compelling and comprehensible message.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
