Communicating Facts and Responding to Falsehoods

Questions for the panelists can be submitted prior to the start of the event using this CSonTap Question form.
Description:
- Can we be savvy consumers of climate information?
- How do we have more productive conversations about climate change?
- And what about getting that curmudgeonly relative to accept the science?
Join our panel for a Climate Science on Tap - Online as we discuss best practices for assessing information about climate change and tips for talking about it with others. Listen to riveting presentations! Engage in an online Q & A and learn how you can be a better communicator - this CSoT is certain to get folks talking!

P.S. As you well know, this is a tenuous time for small nonprofits and for the climate movement. Anything you can pitch in will go a long way to support Cascadia Climate Action's climate outreach programs. We have a $5 and $10 options for tickets, as well as a free ticket or this link to donate any amount. Thanks for what you can add, but the bottom line is to get informed, get involved and take some climate action!
