Summary: The Language of Climate Politics offers readers new ways to talk about the climate crisis that will help get fossil fuels out of our economy and save our planet. It's an analysis of the current discourse of American climate politics, but also a critical history of the terms that most directly influence the way not just conservatives but centrists on both sides of the political divide think and talk about climate change. In showing how those terms lead to mistaken beliefs about climate change and its solutions, the book equips readers with a new vocabulary that will enable them to neutralize climate propaganda and fight more effectively for a livable future.Summary: Cover -- The Language of Climate Politics Fossil-Fuel Propaganda and How to Fight It -- Copyright -- Dedication -- Contents -- Preface: We -- Introduction: Why Words Matter in Climate Politics -- 1.
