How can we best talk to one another about global warming? Climate scientist Dr. Kate Marvel studies the physics of the planet using computational models. But climate change isn't just happening on a computer – it's happening here, in the real world, to us. And even a scientist like Marvel can't help but have feelings about that. Join her as she explores climate science and solutions through the lens of different emotions, from wonder, to anger and fear, and finally to hope. And hear her discuss how we don't need to choose between the hard facts that help us understand climate change and the feelings that help us communicate about it. By embracing both, we gain a fuller picture of what we stand to lose – and all there might be to hope for on a rapidly warming planet.
