How this scientist approaches the climate crisis in a politically divided world

A climate scientist explains how she gets people to care about climate change, even those on the opposite side of the political spectrum, during a conversation on “Salon Talks” with Salon’s Alli Joseph. “A hurricane doesn't knock on your door and ask you who you voted for in the last election before it destroys your house, said Katharine Hayhoe, author of “Saving Us: A Climate Scientist's Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World.” Hayhoe, chief scientist for the Nature Conservancy and a lead writer of three U.S. National Climate Assessment reports, goes on to explain how individual conversations on environmental issues can spur change.
