In this interview, Professor Katharine Hayhoe, one of climate change's most effective communicators, provides inspired guidance on how to navigate all sides of the conversation on a topic that is currently one of the most politicised and divisive. Katharine discusses her new book Saving Us: A Climate Scientist's Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World, illustrated her arguments with stories from her personal experiences. Katharine argues we need to go beyond facts and statistics and begin essential climate conversations with shared values, connect the issue to our individual identities, and help inspire collective action. For Katharine, urgency of action is paramount: “The key conclusion of the IPCC is simply this. Every year counts, every action matters, every choice can make a difference.” Katharine Hayhoe is an atmospheric scientist—and a professor of political science at Texas Tech University, where she is co-director of the Climate Science Center. She has served as lead author on the Second, Third, and Fourth National Climate Assessments. Katharine also hosts and produces the PBS Digital Series, Global Weirding, and serves on advisory committees for a broad range of organizations including the Smithsonian Natural History Museum, the Earth Science Women's Network, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. She has recently become Chief Scientist, at the Nature Conservancy, the world's largest conservation organization- her new book Saving Us: A Climate Scientist's Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World has just been published.

Be sure to check out her videos and lectures, especially the Global Weirding series.
In this episode, we meet with Dr. Katharine Hayhoe, an atmospheric scientist who focuses on projecting and communicating tangible, local effects of climate change to increase people's willingness to act now. Dealing with time lags, is one of our biggest challenges as humans; if we can't see the impacts of our actions today, we're unwilling to act. While we've seen a temporary drop in carbon emissions from COVID-19, and also general progress in adopting clean energy and carbon pricing, we have a long way to go and Dr. Hayhoe believes in appealing to people through their identities values is the way to achieve more progress.Dr. Katharine Hayhoe is an atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on developing and applying high-resolution climate projections to understand what climate change means for people and the natural environment. She is a professor and director of the Climate Science Center at Texas Tech University, and has a B.Sc. in Physics from the University of Toronto and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Atmospheric Science from the University of Illinois. She is the founder and CEO of ATMOS Research, which focuses on bringing the most relevant, tangible information on how climate change will affect our lives to a broad range of clients.She is widely published including being the lead author on several U.S. National Climate Assessments, over 120 peer-reviewed publications, and co-authored A Climate for Change: Global Warming Facts for Faith-Based Decisions. She has been named one of TIME's 100 Most Influential People along with numerous other honours, and is considered to be a world leader in climate policy, communication and innovation.The post Episode 95: An interview with Dr. Katharine Hayhoe, atmospheric scientist appeared first on The Sustainability Agenda.

A look back at conversations with two writers confronting the climate challenge in 2019. In The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming, David-Wallace Wells allows fear — along with a storyteller’s appreciation for the human drama involved — to move him out of climate complacency. In We Are the Weather: Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast, Jonathan Safran Foer asks how individuals can change their behavior to create new climate-sensitive social norms. Visit climateone.org/watch-and-listen/podcasts for more information on today's episode. Guests: Katharine Hayhoe, Professor and Director, Climate Science Center, Texas Tech University Jonathan Safran Foer, Author, We Are the Weather: Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast David Wallace-Wells, Deputy Editor, New York Magazine; Author, The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming Helene York, Chief Procurement Officer, Guckenheimer Enterprises; Faculty Member, Food Business School, Culinary Institute of America Portions of this program were originally broadcast on June 28, 2019 and October 4, 2019.
Dr. Katharine Hayhoe is a climate scientist who leads the Climate Science Center at Texas Tech University and is the host and producer of the PBS series Global Weirding. I asked her everything you want to know about climate change but were afraid to ask. Hayhoe has a positive, upbeat manner that leaves listeners feeling as if she’s talking about planning the best birthday party ever rather than warning about climate change. Perhaps that is her appeal. She has earned a reputation—she’s been named to Time’s 100 most influential people list and Fortune added her to their World’s Greatest Leaders list—for being able to communicate climate science better than most. She explained why a difference as small as two degrees actually matters, why she calls it global weirding, how she explains climate science to skeptics who are religious, and the respective roles of big business, entrepreneurs and individuals in fighting climate science. Customarily, I think it is my role as a Forbes contributor to distill a source’s insights into digestible bites for my readers. Hayhoe is such an effective communicator that I’ve instead chosen to provide you with a lightly edited transcription of most of our conversation (I still hope you’ll watch or listen to the full interview.)

2019 has been a year of climate rising. Youth activists skipped school and took to the streets, the Green New Deal thrust climate equity into the spotlight, and Democratic presidential candidates were forced to respond. Even a few Republicans dared to suggest climate is a concern that needs to be addressed. Join us for a look back on the big ideas that shaped some of our favorite episodes from 2019.

Meet Katharine Hayhoe, an atmospheric scientist with Atmos Research and Consulting and Professor & Director of the Climate Science Center at Texas Tech University. Sometimes, I unexpectedly bump into a guest at an event, conference, or randomly out in the world. Other times, a friend, like Andrew over at the Sounds and Vision podcast, will suggest a guest because they know who or what will make me geek out - like today’s guest, Katharine. Katharine Hayhoe is an atmospheric scientist to some and a self-proclaimed Jezebel of climate change. Her research focuses on understanding what climate change means for people in the places where they actually live. (Breathe! She’ll describe what that means in this episode in a non-science-y way for us layfolks). As a first time beekeeper and lover of long walks in nature, climate change is definitely something I think (ok, worry) about on the regular. Katharine’s also a Professor at Texas Tech University and the host of the PBS digital series Global Weirding. She's been named one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People and Fortune’s 50 world's greatest leaders. In this episode, we talk about climate change, including how it’s affecting those of us living in Northern America. We also talk about how we talk about any complex issue, like climate change, and what we can actually do to change it in our own unique ways. We talk about girl power (and the impact of daughters on their conservative dads). We chat about science-y and religious-y smokescreens, including how to recognize and dismantle them. We tackle toxic trolling and the toxic package of fear and loss. As you listen to this episode, I have two challenges for you. First, I challenge you to think of a woman in your life that needs to know about Katherine and her work. Who would nerd out about this topic, too? Please share this episode with them. Second, think about one tiny action that you can take to make a positive impact on climate change today. Katharine (and the book Drawdown below offer so many choices). We all need to do our part. Have a listen. Selected link love + resources from the episode can be found here: https://www.vitalcorpswellness.com/blog/lvcs-0070-katharine-hayhoe
In this episode, Manju Seal sits down with atmospheric scientist Katharine Hayhoe.

SPEAKERS David Wallace-Wells Deputy Editor, New York Magazine; Author, The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming Katharine Hayhoe Professor and Director, Climate Science Center at Texas Tech University This program was recorded in front of a live audience at The Commonwealth Club of California in San Francisco on May 6th, 2019.
At what point does Planet Earth become inhospitable to life – let alone a flourishing human civilization? In his new book The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming, David Wallace-Wells explores how climate change will impact not just the planet, but human lives – including how a five degree increase in temperatures would make parts of the planet unsurvivable. “The more I learned about the science the deeper I got into it… the more scared I was,” he admits, “and from where I sat as a journalist the importance of telling that story so that other people have the same reaction have the same response. Paradoxically, though he has only been writing about it for a few years, Wallace-Wells has found climate change to invigorate him as a storyteller. “It's an epic saga,” he says. “It's the kind of thing that we only used to see in mythology and theology. We really do have the fate of the world and the species in our hands.” Another climate communicator, Katherine Hayhoe from Texas Tech University, recognizes the need for storytellers like Wallace-Wells to translate the work of scientists like her. “We’re not missing the apocalyptic vision of the future, I think we've got that in spades,” she says. “What David’s book does is it takes what we've been saying in scientific assessments for years and even decades, and it rephrases in a way that’s hopefully more accessible for people to understand how bad this could be.” That said, Hayhoe also recognizes a need for other writers and creative artists to tell climate stories that move us beyond doom-and-gloom. “We scientists are terrible at positive visions of the future, all we’re good at is diagnosing the problem in greater and greater detail,” she laments. “We need others to help us see what that future looks like. Because when you look at something that’s better than what we have today, you can’t hold people back from moving in that direction.” Guests: David Wallace-Wells, Deputy Editor, New York Magazine; Author, The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming Katharine Hayhoe, Professor and Director, Climate Science Center, Texas Tech University This program was recorded in front of a live audience at The Commonwealth Club of California in San Francisco on May 6, 2019
SPEAKERS Katharine Hayhoe Professor and Director, Climate Science Center, Texas Tech University Noah Diffenbaugh Kara J. Foundation Professor and Kimmelman Family Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment, Stanford University Greg Dalton Founder and Host, Climate One This program was recorded in front of a live audience at The Commonwealth Club in San Francisco on January 28th, 2019.
Many of us find it daunting to talk with our neighbors, colleagues and family members about climate change. But climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe says that having those difficult conversations is the first step towards solving the problem. Hayhoe is known as a “rock star” in the climate world for her ability to talk to just about anyone about global warming. She is joined by Stanford atmospheric scientist Noah Diffenbaugh for a conversation about communicating climate change in transparent, engaging, and accessible ways. Guests: Katharine Hayhoe, Professor and Director, Climate Science Center, Texas Tech University Noah Diffenbaugh, Kara J. Foundation Professor and Kimmelman Family Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment, Stanford University
Dr. Hayhoe is an atmospheric scientist and professor of political science at Texas Tech University, where she is the director of the Climate Science Center. She is also the CEO of the consulting firm ATMOS Research and Consulting. She received her undergraduate degree in physics and astronomy from the University of Toronto and a masters and Ph.D. in atmospheric science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. We started from basics in this chat and defined how science works via observation. Then we delved into the process of climate change research, successful computer models, the significant findings of climate science and whether some changes are exponential rather than linear. Finally, Dr. Hayhoe filled us in on some great resources for further reading.

Dr. Katharine Hayhoe is an atmospheric scientist and professor of political science at Texas Tech University, where she is director of the Climate Science Center. She is the CEO of the consulting firm ATMOS Research and Consulting, helping organizations plan for ways that climate change might impact their industries. She was named in Time magazine's 2014 100 most influential people in the world list. Her book, A Climate for change: global warming facts for faith-based decisions, looks at the science and misconceptions around global warming. (you can watch her presentation of the book at Cornell University where she gives the Beggs Lecture on Science, Spirituality and Society in October 2012. The Q&A time is really worth your time.) In 2012 she was named by Christianity today as one of 50 women to watch and named one of Foreign policy's 100 leading global thinkers Through various avenues, such as her PBS show, "Global Weirding", she helps people see how the changing climate affects them and what they can actually do about it. And as a Christian, she deeply cares about the ways that climate change impact the world, the poor, the unreached, and the ways that we try to share good news in a world where the environment itself is crying out for salvation. Steven Spicer and Paul Dzubinski host this edition of the Creation Care Missions Podcast. The full text of talk that Dr. Katharine Hayhoe gave can be found at www.CreationCareMissions.org
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recently produced a report showing that the world needs to cut carbon pollution far more quickly than current rates to avoid severe consequences. But how can the global community achieve its climate goals when the conversation around climate change is often hyper-polarized? To discuss this question and other issues, on the latest episode of the Columbia Energy Exchange host Jason Bordoff sat down with Dr. Katharine Hayhoe, an atmospheric scientist, professor of political science, and director of the Climate Science Center at Texas Tech University. Dr. Hayhoe has been a recipient of numerous awards, including TIME’s 100 Most Influential People and Foreign Policy’s 100 Leading Global Thinkers. Over the course of the conversation Jason and Dr. Hayhoe discussed how she merges her faith as an evangelical Christian and her scientific professional work, what needs to be done to win hearts and minds on the issue of climate change, and the role that renewables and policy can play in addressing this global challenge.
Guests: Dr. Katharine Hayhoe - An Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science and Director of the Climate Science Center at Texas Tech University, Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People.Dr. Alan Townsend - Townsend currently is director of the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research and professor in the Environmental Studies program at the University of Colorado at Boulder.Description: During this week's Weather Geeks podcast Dr. Shepherd had the privilege of talking with Dr. Kathryn Hayhoe and Dr. Alan Townsend, 2 scientists featured in a short-form film series entitled Let Science Speak. Dr. Shepherd was also interviewed for this short-form film series aimed at building a groundswell of bipartisan support for scientists on the front lines of solving our planet’s gravest challenges. Let Science Speak highlights not only what is at risk for our lives, our country, and our planet when science is under attack, but what that means for the humans behind the research, and the people behind the facts.
Evangelical voters made up a significant portion of Donald Trump’s base in the 2016 presidential election. Their political agenda may not be peace or prosperity, but instead bringing us closer to the end of time.

Dr. Katharine Hayhoe, director of the Climate Science Center at Texas Tech University, discusses her life as an evangelical Christian and climate scientist.
Dr. John Zak is the Associate Dean for Research in the College of Arts and Sciences, co-director of the Climate Science Center, and a Professor of Biology. Dr. Zak opens up discussing the importance of understanding the landscape of where a person will be gardening and where it fits into the climate. Dr. Zak reads his garden journal entries from February of 1996, May of 2011, August of 2011, and May of 2013 to show the extreme weather Lubbock can experience. From those data entries Zak concludes that winters are getting warmer, initiation of spring is earlier, and the variability of the last freeze is changing. This seminar was sponsored by TTU Department of Biological Sciences.
Dr. Katharine Hayhoe is a Professor in the Department of Political Science and is the co-director of the Climate Science Center. Dr. Hayhoe discusses the intersection of climate and faith. Dr. Hayhoe discusses that if we continue on this path of burning oil everyone will be affected but the poor and underdeveloped countries will experience the worst impacts. Dr. Hayhoe believes her duty as a christian is to take responsibility for this planet and care for those who are less fortunate. She discusses that science tells us that climate change is real, it is us, the impacts are serious, and there are solutions. She believes that everyone has the values to care about climate change.
Welcome to the fourth episode of the Climate, Mind and Behavior Podcast.

Love you. squareup.com/store/thedeconstructionists The lovely Katharine Hayhoe is an atmospheric scientist and associate professor of political science at Texas Tech University, where she is director of the Climate Science Center. She has worked at Texas Tech since 2005. She has authored more than 120 peer-reviewed publications and wrote the book A Climate for Change: Global Warming Facts for Faith-Based Decisions together with her husband, Andrew Farley. She also co-authored some reports for the US Global Change Research Program, as well as some National Academy of Sciences reports, including the 3rd National Climate Assessment, released on May 6, 2014. Shortly after the report was released, Hayhoe said, "Climate change is here and now, and not in some distant time or place," adding that "The choices we're making today will have a significant impact on our future." She has also served as an expert reviewer for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's Fourth Assessment Report. Professor John Abraham has called her "perhaps the best communicator on climate change." Time magazine listed her among the 100 most influential people in 2014. Also in 2014, the American Geophysical Union awarded her its climate communications award. The first episode of the documentary TV series Years of Living Dangerously features her work and her communication with religious audiences in Texas. She doesn't accept global warming on faith: She crunches the data, she analyzes the models, she helps engineers and city managers and ecologists quantify the impacts. The data tells us the planet is warming; the science is clear that humans are responsible; the impacts we’re seeing today are already serious; and our future is in our hands. As John Holdren once said, “We basically have three choices: mitigation, adaptation, and suffering. We’re going to do some of each. The question is what the mix is going to be. The more mitigation we do, the less adaptation will be required, and the less suffering there will be.” Find out more about Katharine and the work she does at www.katharinehayhoe.com or visit her Facebook page.

Patricia Solis is a Senior Research Associate for the Research Development Team, a Research Associate Professor of Geography, and she is an Adjunct Associate Professor for the Climate Science Center. Patricia concluded the seminar by discussing the responsibilities and the difference that one can make with using big data. She explained one of the projects she co-created called Youth Mappers that engage young people to create spatial data through an open street map for places of the world in need.
Katharine Hayhoe is an Associate Professor in the Department of political science and is the Director of the Climate Science Center. She discusses a case in Hubbard Brook, which is an experimental forest to look at the different uncertainties in developing climate projections. She dives into 4 reasons why future projections are uncertain and they are: natural variability is chaotic, climate sensitivity is unknown, climate models are imperfect, and future scenarios are driven by human activities.
Patricia Solis is an Adjunct Associate Professor of the Climate Science Center, she is a Senior Research Associate for the Research Development Team, and she is a Research Associate Professor of Geography. She presents on working with climate change research teams through mapping collaboration. She goes through what is important to know about mapping. The points are, mapping is a process, pay attention to soft skills, define rules, roles, and role models with mappers, create a reflective environment, make points explicit, and mappers should take risks. She explains that students were able to learn about mapping and work with geospatial technology in regards to climate change.
Cristina Badatan is as Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology and is an affiliated faculty member of the Climate Science Center. Cristina focuses on a project that concentrates on the social conflicts that arise when a severe drought occurs. She discusses that climate change will have a big impact on agriculture and other countries will have fewer resources and people will begin to migrate. The social conflict that will arise in Texas is that there will not be enough water. She explains three major groups will need and want the water. These three groups are the city, agricultural farmers, and the fracking industry. Her team is working on how people will mitigate the conflicts when these problems arise.
