How do we bridge our political divides in talking about our changing climate?
How we talk about it may hold the key.
Kathleen Biggins is the founder and president of C-Change Conversations, which educates people across the political spectrum nationwide with a nonpartisan presentation of the science – just the facts – behind today’s rising sea levels, more intense storms and deadly heat.
I spoke with Kathleen a few weeks ago, when she came to our campus – the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga – sponsored by UTC’s Environmental Studies program and Read2Achieve.
“Scenic Roots” offers conversations that matter in the heart of Chattanooga and the Tennessee Valley.From the mountains to the river, our conversations are rooted deep within every corner of our community – reflecting who we are, who we were and who we can become.We engage with the news that affects our community, behind and beyond the headlines. We build bridges that span from creators and innovators to storytellers and the outdoors. We focus on our challenges as many communities in one – as we celebrate what inspires us. We resonate with countless voices – in words and spaces, sounds and songs. We are “Scenic Roots.” Ray Bassett hosts and produces “Scenic Roots” at WUTC.
