The problem with climate doom messaging
Original: The problem with telling people the world is ending
A Guardian commentary examines why telling people the world is ending may backfire as a climate communication strategy. The argument: apocalyptic framing can breed fatalism, paralysis and disengagement rather than action, raising questions about how campaigners and journalists should talk about climate change without either downplaying the crisis or pushing audiences into despair.
Why now: Ongoing debate about whether doom-laden climate rhetoric motivates or demoralises the public.
