Wholesale Don't Even Think About It: Why Brains Ignore Climate Change

Don't Even Think About It: Why Our Brains Are Wired to Ignore Climate Change Including perspectives from Tea Party activists and conservative evangelical Christians, climate scientists and aspiring environmentalists, this book concludes that this stubborn tendency is more about what connects us than what divides us. It is, in fact, a feature of the human brain, our evolutionary origins, our response to threats, our cognitive blind spots, our love of storytelling, and even our fear of death. By better coming to understand ourselves, we can better understand the reactions of others, wending our way toward a different and more connective vision of climate action.(This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
