When images of localised climate impacts show an individual person or a group of people, with identifiable emotions, they are likely to be the most powerful. But there is a balance to be struck (as in verbal and written communication) between localising climate change (so that people realise the issue is relevant to them) and trivialising the issue (by not making clear enough links to the bigger picture)
