REWIND Finding the Heart to Talk About Climate
b"Ever have a difficult conversation about climate? Pretty much everyone has. Knowing all the facts and figures only goes so far when talking to someone who just doesn\\u2019t agree. So how do we break through the barriers? Scientists trained to present information in a one-way lecture format face a particular challenge: they first need to unlearn old habits.\\n\\u201cEverybody's trying to figure out \\u2018how do we move past this idea that just arming people with facts will lead to a better world,\\u2019 right, because we\\u2019ve just seen that that\\u2019s absolutely not true,\\u201d says Faith Kearns, author of Getting to the Heart of Science Communication.\\xa0\\nKearns argues that we all need to move from an \\u201cinformation deficit\\u201d model of communication \\u2013 where it\\u2019s assumed that the audience simply needs more information \\u2013 to a relational model, where the science communicator does as much listening as talking in order to first find empathy and common ground.\\nGuests:\\nFaith Kearns, author, Getting to the Heart of Science Communication\\nKaterina Gonzales, doctoral research fellow, Stanford University\\n\\nSupport our work:\\nclimateone.org/donate\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
