Podcast appearances and mentions of edward maibach

At republicEn.org, we're fortunate to be based out of George Mason University's Center for Climate Change Communication led by Dr. Edward Maibach. He also co-directs the Climate Change in the American Mind polling project with Yale's Anthony Leiserowitz, a climate reporting resources program that supports TV weathercasters as local climate educators.Dr. Maibach joins host Chelsea Henderson this week to discuss credible messengers on climate change and how public health professionals are considered among the most trusted voices on the issue. He says that the data shows that conservative Americans put more trust in what their doctor(s) say about climate than anybody else except family and friends. Don't miss this interview with Dr. Maibach as he shares and explains the data collected on how personal relationships matter and also shape Americans' views on climate change! 

GMU Center for Climate Change Communication director Dr. Edward Maibach says the survey data shows that conservatives trust their doctor(s) more regarding climate change than anybody else outside of their friends and family. Catch the entire interview: https://republicen.org/podcast!

George Mason University's Dr. Edward Maibach explains that it's the relationships as the key to why conservatives trust their family and doctors the most on climate change. Find out more about GMU's Center for Climate Change Communication!

Dr. Edward Maibach shares an example of how a doctor talked more about climate change in the exam room, which made a difference to patients. Catch the entire episode or past episodes of the podcast right here!

Dr. Mona Sarfaty is the Executive Director and Founder of the Medical Society Consortium on Climate and Health, comprised of societies representing 70% of all U.S. physicians. She founded the Communication in 2016 in conjunction with the George Mason University Center for Climate Change. Under her leadership, the Consortium has grown into a nationwide coalition of societies, organizations, and advocates mobilizing support for equitable policies that address the health impacts of climate change.Edward Maibach is Director of the George Mason University Center for Climate Change Communication, a distinguished University Professor and communication scientist who is expert in the uses of strategic communication and social marketing to address climate change and related public health challenges. His research – funded by NSF, NASA, and private foundations – focuses on public understanding of climate change and clean energy; and the psychology underlying public engagement. In 2021, Ed was identified by Thompson Reuters as one of the world's 10 most influential scientists working on climate change.“The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 is really a bill which is using the financial structure of the country to stimulate business. This is a very different kind of solution than one might have conjured up some years ago. Back in 2010, Congress tried to do something on climate change and the main solution under consideration was a carbon tax. So that was also an effort to use the financial system, but this is a very different approach.This is putting out stimulus so that the business community can do what's necessary to build a clean energy economy. And so consumers can help support the growth of that clean energy economy by purchasing all those products that will allow individual people, families, and communities to be part of the solution by owning electric cars, by putting solar panels on their homes, by buying heat pumps to put in their homes, by improving the insulation in their private homes or buildings and thereby cutting their heating and cooling costs.”https://medsocietiesforclimatehealth.orghttps://twitter.com/docsforclimatewww.climatechangecommunication.org/all/climate-change-american-mind-april-2022/www.climatechangecommunication.org/all/politics-global-warming-april-2022/www.oneplanetpodcast.org

The three things that humanity needs to do are decarbonize the global economy, drawdown, capture, harvest much of that heat-trapping pollution that we've already pumped into the atmosphere over the past hundred years because as long as it's up in our atmosphere, we're going to have continued warming. And the third thing that humanity needs to do is become more resilient to the impacts of climate change, which unfortunately will continue for the next several generations at least, even as we succeed in decarbonizing the global economy and harvesting that heat-trapping pollution from the atmosphere.So these are the three things that have to happen. These three things will happen. The open question is how rapidly will they happen? Any business that can play a vital role in making any one or two or all three of those things happen, those are businesses that are going to flourish going forward. And any business that's sitting on the side and not contributing to one of those three areas, I really think they will become increasingly irrelevant, if not completely antiquated and increasingly understood to be harmful.”https://medsocietiesforclimatehealth.orghttps://twitter.com/docsforclimatewww.climatechangecommunication.org/all/climate-change-american-mind-april-2022/www.climatechangecommunication.org/all/politics-global-warming-april-2022/www.oneplanetpodcast.org

Why is it that people worldwide were struggling with making the kinds of decisions and enacting the decisions that will get to the root causes of the problem and stop the warming and start to protect our communities so that people and other things we care about aren't needlessly hurt. And the answer to that question is most people worldwide accept the realities of climate change, but they see it as a distant problem, distant on three different dimensions: Distant in terms of time, so they see it not necessarily as today's problem but a future problem. Distant in terms of location - you know, maybe somewhere somebody's dealing with this, but not us, not here in my community. And, perhaps most importantly, distant in terms of species.So people tend to see this as a plants, penguins, and polar bears problem and not a people problem. And that's a challenge that creates a challenge for us to engage the public in thinking about what this means for them today because, on all three of those dimensions, they feel like they've got some time, some distance in order to think these problems through.”https://medsocietiesforclimatehealth.orghttps://twitter.com/docsforclimatewww.climatechangecommunication.org/all/climate-change-american-mind-april-2022/www.climatechangecommunication.org/all/politics-global-warming-april-2022/www.oneplanetpodcast.org

Dr. Edward Maibach is one of the foremost communications scientists in the country.On climate change, it is a contest between fact and opinion, between science and those who, for monetary reasons or politics, deny that science - and therefore deny the existence of a warming planet and all the dangers that portends.Dr. Maibach has begun enlisting the help of meteorologists and journalists in the news media to educate themselves on the far reaching impacts of the science.  When he began, it was an uphill battle.  Though scientists themselves, half of all meteorologists in the country didn't believe the science of climate change.  How could the most trusted scientists that the average person is aware of be able to tell the true story.  It was Ed Maibach's goal in life.

A decade ago, a nationwide survey showed that only around twelve percent of Americans were seriously concerned about climate change. Today, public perceptions have changed. “The alarmed are between a quarter and 30% of the public,” says Edward Maibach. “That makes them the largest single segment of Americans…as their name implies, they're alarmed about climate change.” How does understanding the perceptions of a broadly concerned public enable our leaders to create lasting change? How do climate concerns break down across political, economic, and regional divides? A conversation with Anthony Leiserowitz and Edward Maibach, recipients of the tenth annual Stephen H. Schneider Award for Outstanding Climate Science Communication. At a time when understanding climate perceptions has never been more important, Dr. Leiserowitz and Dr. Maibach have exemplified the ability to be both scientists and powerful communicators through their work on the public's understanding of climate change, including the seminal Global Warming's Six Americas project.
