I think Randall puts it into perspective very well: https://xkcd.com/1732/ https://xkcd.com/1732/ (but still not targeting laypersons) Scientific facts alone are not helping most people. Recently there was torrential rain in parts of germany. And people were warned (per official SMS) with: Expect x liters of rain per hour. Most understood, ok, so there is heavy rain. I keep my umbrella close by. What they did not understand is, that this meant a massive flood, with houses close to small rivers vanished and over 160 people died.
