Your Brain On Climate
A show about climate change and climate psychology. But sideways. Explore human brains doing amazing or awful things, learn why, then see what it means for the planet.
Your Brain On Climate
How to talk about the climate emergency
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A new campaign, the National Emergency Briefing, thinks (rightly) there's a climate emergency going on. They want Keir Starmer to go on TV and tell the nation, like Boris did with Covid. But would that work? Do people think about climate change the same as other types of 'emergency'?
In this Micro episode I chat to climate comms guru Adam Corner about the similarities - and differences - between climate emergencies and the Covid emergency. After a snippet of my 2021 chat him, I dial him up again for his latest views on the back of the NEB. You can listen to the full interview here or in the back catalogue.
You can watch all 3 hours of the National Emergency Briefing here (and yes, that is a link to GB News... credit where it's due.)
