Keeping up-to-date
Don’t become overwhelmed by the sheer weight of media stories relating to climate change. Stay focused on issues of real concern to you and develop your knowledge of these. Sign up to a few blogs and regular updates. Buy a book or two if you think you will read it. Concentrate on remembering and understanding the details about these specific concerns and putting a human (or animal) face to the consequences. Well-briefed people who can speak with understanding on specific topics are much harder to argue with than people who are generally ‘worried about climate change’.
