"Following his line of reasoning, we must question our approaches to talking and writing about climate change if we want to maximize the impact of our words. What if we were to shift the focus of our climate-related reporting toward a more solution-oriented perspective? What implications would this shift in communication strategy have as far as motivating public action?"

@MarieVC@social.coop @PropCazhPM@mastodon.social what we are lacking is not “public action” but government and political action. Insisting we have to motivate people rather than targeting policy makers and big businesses only shifts the blame. People get the story. Political elite & the rich get the story too. But the latter has no interest in changing because they don’t want to give up power. We need to take power from the elite and give it to people. Not hope. People have hope, it’s a muscle.
