In February 2015, U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), who had labeled climate change “the greatest hoax ever perpetrated against the American people,” brought a snowball with him to the Senate Chamber. “Catch this,” he said as he tossed the snowball to an aide, adding that it was cold outside. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 2015 would turn out to be the fourth warmest year on Earth<\/a> since record keeping began in 1880.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\u201cThat story,\u201d says Joanna Huxster, Ph.D.<\/a>, assistant professor of environmental studies<\/a> at Eckerd College, \u201cis a perfect example of how our observations can trick us. But it\u2019s so compelling to hold a snowball.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, that\u2019s like taking a ruler and putting it on the ground and saying the Earth is flat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Climate change and COVID-19 are prime examples in the discussion about how scientific information can be manipulated.<\/p>\n

Trying to sort out what information is accurate and what isn\u2019t can be frustratingly difficult, says Huxster. If anyone would know, she would. She studies the public\u2019s understanding of environmental issues and teaches classes on environmental and climate change communication. There\u2019s a waiting list to get in both classes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe issues are very polarized,\u201d Huxster says. Whether someone identifies as conservative or liberal is one of the main dividing lines, she points out. \u201cAge can also factor into people’s sense of urgency, but political ideology seems to be the true driver.\u201d<\/p>\n

Partisanship in the media doesn\u2019t help.<\/p>\n

Huxster, who earned her undergraduate and doctorate degrees from the University of Delaware, says her focus also is on studying and testing effective communication techniques \u201cfor increasing public understanding of science and inspiring action on environmental issues.\u201d In other words, which messages work and which don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Can we blame this on the internet and the countless sources of good and bad information? Yes and no, she says. \u201cThe internet has absolutely spread more information more quickly. But what is unique is that we\u2019ve never been as politically polarized as we are right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

And it goes beyond that. \u201cFor climate change, a large part of the disinformation was funded by the fossil fuel industry. The oil industry followed the playbook of big tobacco and did an incredible job of sowing doubts about climate change. They knew fossil fuels were causing climate change as far back as the late 1970s.\u201d<\/p>\n

With an issue as massive as climate change, Huxster is seeing students who have a lot of anxiety. And it\u2019s not unfounded. \u201cWe\u2019re at a big precipice right now,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019m really interested to see how it plays out. … I want to feel like these are conversations the students aren\u2019t scared to have. And I want them to consider how they can become involved in meaningful and effective campaigns to deal with climate change. That they know how to take action beyond changing their lightbulbs.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” el_class=”lg_text” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]“But my students also give me a lot of hope.
