A climate scientist talks—respectfully—to climate-change skeptics
How did you begin trying to communicate to the skeptics about climate change?
It began inadvertently. I met my husband at the Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship at the University of Illinois, when we were both in graduate school. We had been married six months or so before it dawned on us that we weren’t on the same page when it came to climate change. (snip)
Back then, 17 years ago, the issue was not as politicized as it is today. And we had another advantage: we not only loved each other, but we respected each other. I knew that he was a really smart person. He knew that not only did I share his faith, I was a practical person. I wasn’t somebody who wanted to ruin the economy to save the whales.
One conversation didn’t resolve our differences overnight. But over the course of months, through exploring the evidence and the implications together, he came to agree that climate change is real and human-caused and that the impacts are serious enough to warrant taking action.
How was that conversation like the others you’ve had since with people who deny climate change?
It was my first experience of starting from a place of mutual respect and shared values. And that, I realized, is the key to success: not just then but even more so today, when climate change has become one of the most politically polarized issues in the United States.
Kinda hard to have a discussion when you block everyone who disagrees with you.
I’m not even going to get into, again, her hijacking of Christianity to push her cultish beliefs.
