Extreme weather made more intense by a changing climate is impacting more and more Floridians each season. From damaging hurricanes to algal blooms to sea level rise, climate change is impacting not only the unique environment of the Sunshine State, but also the state’s economy and public health. The state of the home insurance industry in Florida is a perfect example of an unintended consequence of our inability to bridge the political divide to implement solutions that reduce greenhouse gases.
Amid the increasingly dramatic consequences of inaction, how are climate communicators effectively conveying the risks posed by climate change, particularly amid deep polarization on adoption of climate solutions? Moderated by The Invading Sea editor Nathan Crabbe, the panel explores this very question, tapping into top experts on communicating climate change, including our own Bob Inglis; Mary Anna Mancuso, Editorial Board Member at the Miami Herald; and Max Chesnes, environmental reporter for the Tampa Bay Times.
