Depolarizing Climate Conversations Aaron Huertas Science Communications Officer twitter.com/aaronhu [email protected] • Why do some people reject climate science? • Why do some people who accept it feel hopeless? • How can scientists help people overcome these biases?

As policymakers, you’re the navigators…” -- marine science and chemistry professor David Hastings (Eckerd College in Florida) How is your talk being promoted? • “Climate change threats to our coasts” • OR • “Coastal hazards: erosion, storms, development and rising seas” Sequencing – When to bring up climate? • Climate change is a hazard on our coasts • We’ve tracked 10 inches of sea-level rise historically • We have a best estimate of 1.3 feet of sealevel rise by 2050 • This is happening alongside coastal threats from erosion, development, storms Sequencing – When to bring up climate? • We’re already dealing with coastal threats from erosion, development, storms • We’ve tracked 10 inches of sea-level rise historically • We best estimate of 1.3 feet of sea-level rise by 2050 • So climate change is an additional hazard on our coasts that we can prepare for Military Voices “The impacts of climate change may increase the frequency, scale, and complexity of future missions…” – Department of Defense Quadrennial Defense Review “Climate change is a national security challenge…it will affect the type, scope, and location of future Navy missions.” – U.S. Navy Climate Change Roadmap Businesses “We realize we need to prepare for a future when carbon dioxide emissions must be reduced.” – Duke Energy “There is growing recognition that addressing the risk of climate change will require significant efforts by both the developed and the developing world.” – Exxon-Mobil “Energy and climate represent two of the most important business challenges of this century….” – General Electric Freedom and Taxes Gage Skidmore/Flickr Gage Skidmore/Flickr Green Tea Coalition (image from Green Tea’s facebook profile) Theleek.com ucsusa.org/playingwithfire Pricing carbon can be seen through multiple political lenses Point to “First Responders” in Action Emphasize Choices, Not Inevitability UCS: Northeast Climate Impacts Assessment, 2007 Point to Movement, Along with Adequacy Sanford et al.
