We are fortunate to have one of the foremost voices in the climate movement as our guest speaker on Tuesday: Dr. Genevieve Guenther, author of The Language of Climate Politics! This fascinating book whittles climate politics down to six key words that have been weaponized to block climate policy, and then shows you how to combat them. Our language for the climate crisis is largely inaccurate and misleading thanks to decades of fossil-fuel propaganda, and fixing this problem requires us to recognize how our speech itself—what we say and what we don’t say about climate change—upholds a dangerous status quo. Dr. Genevieve Guenther is a former Renaissance scholar who turned to climate research and activism and is now a leading expert on climate communication. Using her training in rhetoric and cultural politics, as well as social-science research, she works to revamp the ways that we talk about the urgent need to phase out coal, oil, and methane. In 2018 Dr. Guenther founded End Climate Silence, a volunteer organization that pushes the news media to start talking about the climate crisis with the urgency it deserves. She directs strategy and outreach, helping journalists explain the links between global warming and extreme weather and headline the urgent findings of climate science and their implications on all aspects of our lives.
