We are starting to see the effects of climate change, but why is it so hard to wrap our heads around it? Why haven't we done much to combat climate change, though we've been hearing about it for decades? 

Listen in as Rebecca Somach, a student in the Neuroscience Graduate Group at Penn chats with Dr. Joseph Kable, the Baird Term Professor of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania about why climate change is a difficult problem for people to relate to and what we can do about that.
