We need to talk about climate change, we need to solve it!

When was the last time you spoke to a friend or family member about climate change?

Research by Yale University found that only 1 in 25 Americans hear people they know talk about climate change once a week. 16% hear people they know talk about once a month, and a full quarter of Americans never hear people they know talk about it at all!

Why aren’t we talking more?

There are many reasons, but it probably doesn’t help that Einstein’s papers are judged more readable than the most recognized climate change reports from the United Nations! Research shows that while newspaper coverage of these reports help make them more readable, they also make them more pessimistic. If we think it’s all too awful to even talk about, how can we start reclaiming the power we have to solve it?
