Dear Reader,
Perhaps you have a friend or family member reluctant to believe that our changing climate is an existential threat, or who casually jokes, on a cold winter day, that “we could use a little global warming right now.” (🙄) While Dot has shared advice on how to have climate conversations before, Yale Climate Connections tells us that drawing the connection between climate change and our weird weather is pretty persuasive.
“We have found that communicating these links can help depolarize the issue,” said Anthony Leiserowitz, the founder and Director of the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication (YPCCC) at the Yale School of Environment. “Weather can help ground the conversation in lived experience, which is not interpreted by most Americans as ‘political.’”
Casting aside for the moment Gloria Steinem’s insistence that the personal is political, perhaps a simple, “weird weather we’re having, huh?” might nudge open the door for a fact-based conversation with that grudging hold-out.
Conversationally,
Dot
