Will Hackman — Radically Reframing Climate Change
Climate communicator Will Hackman presents a guide for younger voters that avoids myths and scare tactics to chart a realistic path forward.
Why we picked this
Climate communication has been stuck between denial and doom for too long. Hackman's approach — aimed at younger voters — tries to chart a third path that's honest about the science without surrendering to despair.
The climate conversation has calcified into predictable positions: denial on one side, apocalyptic despair on the other, and very little in between that’s useful for people trying to make decisions. Will Hackman’s book is aimed squarely at younger voters who are tired of both myths and scare tactics.
Hackman makes the case for a radically different kind of climate communication — one that’s honest about the science, realistic about the politics, and focused on what can actually be done rather than what can’t be prevented.
