The Language of Climate Politics with Author Genevieve Guenther

from Climate Chat · host Dan Miller and Leon Simons, hosts

In this Climate Chat episode, we interview author Genevieve Guenther about her recent book "The Language of Climate Politics." In the book, she points out how certain words and framings promoted by the fossil fuel industry make their way into our everyday discourse and are used even by climate action advocates. Dr. Genevieve Guenther is the founding director of End Climate Silence and affiliate faculty at The New School, where she sits on the board of the Tishman Environment and Design Center. Dr. Guenther advises NGOs, corporations, and policymakers on fossil-fuel disinformation and climate communication. Her research has appeared in both scholarly journals and media outlets such as Scientific American, The New Republic, and MSNBC, and she has been invited to speak about climate and language to audiences at Duke, Columbia, and Harvard, among other universities. She lives in New York City with her family.
