Is it “Global Warming” or “Climate Change”? The Philosophy of Communicating Climate Science with Matthew Goodwin

April 22, 2021 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm

FREE

Why do so many people not accept the science of global warming? What are the rhetorical devices most often used to confuse people about the science? What are more effective ways to talk about and communicate what is happening with our climate? Most challenges made are not really about the science, but about previously held behavioral commitments. Learn some surprising theories about best practices for communicating climate science, such as the importance of storytelling.
