Navigating the Challenges of Complete Renewable Energy Transition

You'll hear how climate misinformation works in this episode and learn effective ways to counter it. Jessica talks with John Cook, a senior research fellow at the Melbourne Centre for Behaviour Change at the University of Melbourne who studies the cognitive psychology of climate science denial. He founded Skeptical Science, a website that debunks climate change myths: https://skepticalscience.com/argument.php

John also authored the book Cranky Uncle vs. Climate Change and the Cranky Uncle game, which uses cartoons and critical thinking to fight misinformation. 

In the Q&A we talk about real experiences of using John's resources in practical climate communications work (and the results) and we answer your question about why it's taken so long to get electric cars to dealerships and rant about how it's increasingly hard to find smaller cars.
