How to Discuss the Effects of Climate Change

Unfortunately, climate change is a polarized topic in today’s hyper-political environment. But although climate change is considered by many to be a partisan issue, it shouldn’t be, because the environment is for everyone. On this episode of The Sustainable Minimalists podcast: 3 tips (plus dozens of talking points!) to help you intelligently discuss climate change without mentioning politics.


Discussing the Effects of Climate Change (Without Discussing Politics)

 

Unfortunately, climate change and its effects are polarized topics in today’s hyper-political environment. And although climate change is considered by many to be a partisan issue, it shouldn’t be, because the environment is for everyone, regardless of political affiliation, socioeconomic status, or skin color.

And while journalism has tremendous influence on public understanding, the sad reality is that the media is not adequately educating about the effects of climate change.

It’s therefore on us (i.e. YOU and ME) to do the educating.

This week, I take a deep dive into the media’s coverage of environmental issues; I offer 3 tips (plus dozens of talking points!) to help you intelligently discuss climate change without mentioning politics.

Here’s a preview of this week’s episode:

[4:00] Where, why, and how media coverage of climate change lacks

[12:40] The importance of keeping conversations tangible

[16:15] Climate change and its economic, societal, and health effects
