Our world currently faces a large gap between scientific knowledge and public understanding when it comes to climate change and environmental wellness. That’s why in this episode of the Darin Olien show, I explore this topic, dive into solutions, and discuss actionable tips with special guest, Naomi Oreskes.

Together we dive into the layers of climate change denial – why people deny it and why it needs to be taken seriously. We also dissect the misinformation campaigns, explore why even educated individuals reject well-founded scientific evidence and share solutions for environmental challenges.

Naomi Oreskes is Henry Charles Lea Professor of the History of Science and Affiliated Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard University. A world-renowned earth scientist, historian, and public speaker, she is the author of the best-selling book, Merchants of Doubt (2010) and a leading voice on the role of science in society, the reality of anthropogenic climate change, and the role of disinformation in blocking climate action. She is also the author or co-author of 9 books, and over 150 articles, essays, and opinion pieces.

What we discuss:

(00:35) Unpacking Environmental Awareness and Myths

(10:32) Exploring Climate Change Denial and Disinformation

(14:34) Studying Scientific Consensus on Climate

(28:11) Understanding Climate Change and Pollution

(45:06) Rebuilding Trust in Government and Marketplace

(50:25) Reclaiming the Role of Government

(01:04:22) Celebrating Science Communication and Advocacy
