Description
Not all climate activism has been popular. Some of the most viral, disruptive protests have been met with backlash, even by some in the climate movement itself. As Dr. Margaret Klein Salamon notes, these activists are operating in "emergency mode," serving as a reminder that the climate crisis is a crisis and nothing should be prioritized above it. In the latest edition of her book Facing the Climate Emergency: How to Transform Yourself with Climate Truth, Dr. Klein Salamon argues that too few of us are operating in emergency mode, even in the climate fight. So how do we get there? On today's show, we discuss what emergency mode looks like, the data-driven approach to understanding the role of protest in raising awareness and leading to electoral success, and the emotional benefits to honestly reckoning with the climate crisis.
