Genevieve Guenther asks us to be smarter in how we talk about the climate crisis
Genevieve Guenther asks us to be smarter in how we talk about the climate crisis. Genevieve Guenther is a former Renaissance scholar who used her training in rhetoric and cultural politics to analyze how we talk about the climate crisis in a new book, “The Language of Climate Politics.” Working under the belief that our language is largely inaccurate and misleading, she suggests that we need to recognize how our speech itself reproduces fossil-fuel ideologies. Guenther draws on sociology, psychology, philosophy and literary theory to critique current forms of climate communication and craft messages to use moving forward. “The Language of Climate Politics” came out July 10, and Guenther speaks at the Harvard Book Store on Tuesday. We interviewed her the previous Tuesday; her words have been edited for length and clarity.
