Communicating about climate change

Polls show Americans are increasingly concerned about climate change, but the topic remains highly politicized. Whether you're talking to policymakers or drunk uncles at Thanksgiving dinner, most of us struggle with communicating about climate change to "climate deniers." This talk will discuss what people really think about climate change, strategies for talking about this hot topic, and why you don't need to believe in climate change to take climate action.
