Perhaps no other issue today is as confronting as our warming earth. But while scientists double down on the shocking figures, we still find ourselves unable to discuss climate change meaningfully among friends and neighbours - or even to grapple with it ourselves. The key to progress on climate change is in the psychology of human attitudes and our ability to change. Whether you're already alarmed and engaged with the issue, concerned but disengaged, a passive skeptic or an active denier, understanding our emotional reactions to climate change - why it makes us anxious, fearful, angry or detached - is critical to coping on an individual level and convincing each other to act. This book is about understanding why people who aren't like you feel the way they do and learning to talk to them effectively. What we need are thousands - millions - of everyday conversations about the climate to enlarge the ranks of the concerned, engage the disengaged and persuade the cautious of the need for action. 650 0 $a Climatic changes. 650 0 $a Climatic changes $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Climatic changes $x Citizen participation. $x Citizen participation. 650 0 $a Climate change mitigation. 650 0 $a Sustainable living. 650 0 $a Human beings $x Effect of climate on. 650 0 $a Global warming. 650 0 $a Environmentalism. 650 0 $a Environmental protection $x Citizen participation. 941 $a 3 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20220721010100.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518025021.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20210713013824.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4EF7E060CA7A11EBB3507DA22FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
