Paul Slovic examines "psychic numbing," our tendency to ignore mass tragedies despite valuing individual lives. He explains that as numbers grow, we become desensitized, failing to act against catastrophic losses from poverty, disease, climate disasters, and violence. Understanding this cognitive bias is crucial for motivating effective responses.

Dr. Slovic, a professor of psychology at the University of Oregon and President of Decision Research (which he co-founded), is a leading expert in risk perception. His extensive work, including research on global threats, has earned him numerous accolades, such as election to the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

This visualization illustrates the rise in global temperatures from 1880 through the end of 2013. NASA scientists report that 2013 tied for the seventh warmest year since 1880, continuing a significant long-term warming trend. Notably, with the exception of 1998, the ten warmest years on record have all occurred since 2000, with 2010 and 2005 ranking as the hottest.

The visualization displays a running five-year average global temperature, compared to a 1951-1980 baseline. A color-coded map shows surface temperature anomalies, with red indicating higher and blue indicating lower than normal temperatures.
