Ashlee Cunsolo talks about climate change and ecological grief on morning radio shows across the country

Yesterday, Dr. Ashlee Cunsolo participated in a series of CBC radio morning shows across Canada, in response to the Greenlandic Perspectives on Climate Change Survey. This survey provided “national estimates of residents’ climate change beliefs, experiences, risk-opportunity perceptions and emotional responses, as well as views on recent sea ice changes, glacial changes, climate change impacts, societal adaptation, and climate and environment policy preferences.” Dr. Cunsolo discussed the implications of the study for Canadians.

Here in Edmonton, we listened to the CBC Edmonton AM interview by Mark Connolly.

In this episode, Kate talks about how she used an America Adapts episode, “Deconstructing a Climate Change Skeptic” as part of her class curricula at the University of Waterloo. Specifically, in this interview, "Kate discusses why she chose this episode to use a tool to teach her students effective climate communication."

Kate touches on the following topics in her interview:

• Using podcasts in the classroom to promote environmental change;

• Learning that climate skepticism is more prevalent than many realize;

• Developing guidelines for listening to a podcast and talking climate change;

• Understanding the role of open access educational materials, especially climate resources;

• Students explain how listening to a climate skeptic enhanced their ability to communicate climate change.
