Episode 5.2: Dilshani Sarathchandra and Kristin Haltinner — To Believe, or Not to Believe

Question: What makes someone believe in climate change? Meet Dilshani Sarathchandra (https://bit.ly/3zJNJr0) and Kristin Haltinner (https://bit.ly/3NCZd5n), sociology professors in the Department of Culture, Society and Justice (https://bit.ly/3T7VcHx) at University of Idaho. They delve deep into people’s beliefs about climate change, recounting lessons learned over hundreds of interviews for their upcoming book “Inside the World of Climate Change Skeptics,” set to publish in spring 2023. The research team uncovers the nuanced identities of climate skeptics — many of whom worry about environmental degradation — to shape social understanding around one of the most pressing issues of our time.
