My recently published trilogy, ‘Katja's World Game’, explores the nature of climate change, its consequences, and proposes a new way of living that works with the environment - not against it. My six main characters are university students of ecology. In my final novel, ‘Katja's World Game, The Overstory’, opposition to the solution grows but the students refuse to give up!
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT IT, it’s one thing to talk to ½ the U.S. voter-age that knows there’s a problem.
It’s another to talk to the ½ that DON’T KNOW IT’S A PROBLEM. And IMHO what the environment/scientific mindset doesn’t getabout human nature is that we must start our conversations, to that 1/2, with why they disregard the problem itself. Not how we can fix it. Not yet!!!!!!!!!!
The fact about human nature is that if we ignore that, it will often strengthen their opposition and enhances their confirmation bias.
The response is "Oh, here they go again!!!" and listening goes by the wayside.
