Floods and forest fires, drought and heat waves: they’re happening more often and there seem to be so many conflicting opinions. How can we tell what’s factual and what’s fake news?
Which groups and individuals are conducting research on climate change and how reliable are their findings? How trustworthy is the reporting and interpretation of climate research by news outlets, pundits and governments? Now that discussions have become so polarizing, how can we talk to others with different views, especially friends and family?
Join Geoff Hendry from Sustainable Kingston for a helpful introduction to navigating the news around climate change. Sustainable Kingston's mission is to enhance the livability and resiliency of Kingston. They do this by sharing knowledge and providing programs that drive community action.
Listen to Geoff's December 13 interview on CBC Radio here, from the 12:43 minute mark until 19:18 minutes.
