How And Why To Talk About Climate Change - Katharine Hayhoe

Katherine Hayhoe is a climate scientist and a Christian Fundamentalist.

In this Ted Talk, she talks about how to talk to others about Climate Change by sharing your values and why climate change matters to you.




Anchorage just got through a large earthquake, one of a magnitude that has killed hundreds and thousands in other locations.  We got through it reasonably well, in part because after 1964 earthquake, geologists and engineers came up with building codes that protected most buildings.  

We need to be looking ahead right now, to implement changes that will reduce our carbon usage before we heat the planet to the level that we won't be able to easily adapt to.  And there are lots of ways to do this.  She talks about some of these options in the talk too.
