Short summary
The politicization of climate change science has increased over the last decades. In this commentary, we argue that the role of climate scientists in our societies needs to adapt to this development. We share our experiences from leaving our offices to interact with diversified people on our running and cycle paths from the polar regions to the Paris climate summit. Based on these experiences, we suggest key components for successful communication with non-academic audiences in the 21st century.
