Alaska Senate Candidates Talk Fish, Avoid Climate Change
Original: Alaska Senate Candidates Rarely Mention Climate Change, But They Talk a Lot About Fish
Candidates running for the Alaska US Senate seat rarely bring up climate change on the campaign trail, despite the state warming faster than much of the planet, according to Mother Jones. Instead, they talk extensively about fish — salmon stocks, fishing industries and ocean resources — a framing that lets candidates address climate-affected livelihoods without using the politically charged term itself.
Why now: Climate change is politically risky in Alaska, so candidates reframe it around fish and fisheries that voters' livelihoods depend on.
