Effective reactions to climate change require collective, ultimately global, responses. Susanna Priest makes this argument eloquently and, through an adept evidentiary look at journalistic and strategic communication processes, sets the stage for building a strong societal demand for climate solutions.

Communication and other social processes are the essence of science, and Susanna Priest applies that principle to communication about climate science. She makes a strong argument that we will only achievesuccessful climate communication when we recognize the collective, communal nature of climate knowledge. Individual knowledge and actions aren't enough; we must adapt communication research and action to focus on climate change as a social problem.Bruce V. Lewenstein, Professor of Science Communication and Chair, Department of Science & Technology Studies, Cornell University

Susanna Priest provides a concise but comprehensive look at climate change communication. This book provides an invaluable overview of relevant research and theory, from cognitive processes to social dynamics, and makes a compelling argument that we need to cultivate critical science literacy among citizens of today's politically charged, media-saturated societies. Her insights should prove useful to both science communicators and science communication researchers.

“This book discusses communication for committed climate change activists determined to promote activism. It assumes climate change is due to humans, is dangerous, is imminent, and is controllable. It also explores the idea that better communication will help solve the problem. … Summing Up: Recommended. All readers.” (T. N. Chase, Choice, Vol. 54 (11), July, 2017)
“Priest has written an easy-to-read thought-provoking book, which can be used to introduce science communication to undergraduate and graduate students who will gain understanding of the debates and future direction of the field, as well as potential spaces for action. … For an engaged reader, however, research opportunities are easy to identify, and Priest even offers possible questions that, if explored and answered, will surely mark the path forward for science communication.” (José Castro-Sotomayor, Language & Ecology, ecolinguistics-association.org, 2017)
