We're saved!: Left-wing English major Chris Mooney promotes a climate hoax talk by left-wing journalism/politics major Kate Sheppard

Are You Thirsty for Better Climate Change Communication? | Mother Jones
[English major Chris Mooney] People are getting tired of the same old story about global warming. They often tune out warnings of impending catastrophe; but it's not like they trust the deniers, either. The trouble is, the standard global warming narrative is stale and alienating—and perhaps worst of all, stuck in the technical weeds.
...
All talks will be specially developed in collaboration with thirst DC's presentation trainers. The speakers will bring fresh, unconventional storytelling about global warming. Currently confirmed speakers are:
Kate Sheppard, Mother Jones magazine/Climate Desk: "How to Talk to Your Republican Dad About Global Warming"
Jamie Vernon, American Association for the Advancement of Science, science & technology policy fellow: "How to Get Rich Off of Global Warming"
...
Melanie Tannenbaum, Scientific American blogger & University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign PhD student in social psychology: "This Is Your Brain on Climate Change"
Kate Sheppard '06, Staff reporter at Mother Jones magazine - Sustainability at Ithaca - Ithaca College
Kate Sheppard ’06 majored in Journalism and Politics.
