How to Talk About Climate Change in a Way That Makes a Difference

'The antidote to climate anxiety is action. Make your first action reading this book.' OSHER GUNSBERG 'Finally, an answer to the paralysing fear we sometimes feel. Rebecca Huntley shows us a way forward - by engaging our hearts as well as our heads.' RICHARD GLOVER 'Rebecca Huntley has given us a great gift: an essential guide to understanding ourselves and each other as we face the climate crisis. Let's take down the walls that divide us. Collectively, with compassion and courage, we can make real change happen.' KYLIE KWONG 'Explains whether and how we will choose to solve the climate problem. Immensely important analysis in a great read.' PROFESSOR ROSS GARNAUT 'A book on how to talk about climate change is merely another reading option for the committed. A book about being vulnerable, facing fear, despair as well as guilt that moves to hope, love and naming the deeply felt things is compulsory reading. This book is one such book. Rebecca Huntley, esteemed for her objective surveys that tell us what ordinary Australians think, jumps a fence. The detached observer practises her craft by becoming the subject of her craft. Her vulnerability is not indulgent sentimentality but works to chart the risks that climate change brings to the people and things she loves most in the world. In so doing she powerfully reminded me of what is most at stake. Indeed, How to Talk About Climate Change in a Way That Makes a Difference does us all a great service.'
