Dr. Katharine Hayhoe: ...that we should be having optimistic conversations about climate change

Climate change is one of the most important issues we face today. Yet, it’s a topic which polarizes people. Our guest on this episode, well-known climate scientist Dr. Katharine Hayhoe, says climate action isn’t about being a certain type of person or voting a certain way.  She says it IS about connecting the values we already have, to act for our future. Dr. Hayhoe is the Chief Scientist of The Nature Conservancy and the author of the new book, SAVING US: A Climate Scientist's Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World. ****** Thanks to our sponsors of this episode! --> Aurate: we love this modern, minimalist, and affordable jewerly!
