The link references a recent article in Nature Climate Change, and it's a free download.  The article lays down the challenges and focuses the need for attention and education on climate change.  It's from the perspective of social scientists and focuses on risk assessment.  The topic of climate change is of vital importance yet difficult to approach.  It seems to me, it's a niche where museums might shine, and there's certainly enough data and interest to generate some thorough assessments of efficacy of approaches
