Saving Us: A Climate Scientist's Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World

內容簡介

內容簡介 加拿大裔美國氣候科學專家Katharine Hayhoe是知名的氣候變遷學者，她也積極參與各大電視節目和訪談，目的都在推廣並提醒氣候變遷為大自然帶來的危害，與對人類世界造成的危機。她特別強調溝通，環保議題無法受到普遍大眾的重視，是因為時常覺得與自己無關，或成本太高無法改變，而當最後發生難以收拾的災難後，人們才會發現為時已晚。她提出討論相關議題的方法，與在日常生活中能輕易實踐的改變，希望能喚起更多人對氣候變遷的重視。 United Nations Champion of the Earth, climate scientist, and evangelical Christian Katharine Hayhoe changes the debate on how we can save our future. Called “one of the nation’s most effective communicators on climate change” by The New York Times, Katharine Hayhoe knows how to navigate all sides of the conversation on our changing planet. A Canadian climate scientist living in Texas, she negotiates distrust of data, indifference to imminent threats, and resistance to proposed solutions with ease. Over the past fifteen years Hayhoe has found that the most important thing we can do to address climate change is talk about it—and she wants to teach you how. In Saving Us, Hayhoe argues that when it comes to changing hearts and minds, facts are only one part of the equation. We need to find shared values in order to connect our unique identities to collective action. This is not another doomsday narrative about a planet on fire. It is a multilayered look at science, faith, and human psychology, from an icon in her field—recently named chief scientist at The Nature Conservancy.
