DESCRIPTION:Talking about climate change with others can be challenging\, i
 ncluding starting the conversation and responding to other people’s beli
 efs and feelings about the climate. In this session\, we will explore ways
  to personally connect with others to create a safe space for climate conv
 ersations\, including ways to talk about our own feelings related to the c
 limate (e.g.\, anxiety\, grief) and listening to people with doubtful or d
 ismissive beliefs.  On Thursday\, March 23rd at 6:30pm the D7910 Climate 
 Cafe will welcome Dr. Matthew Ballew\, Ph.D.\, Research Specialist at te
 h Yale Program on Climate Change Communication who will help us learn how
  to talk about this important topic.  Dr. Ballew is a Research Specialis
 t at the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication and specializes in s
 ocial and environmental psychology. He focuses on the personal\, social\, 
 and cultural factors that shape people’s responses to environmental issu
 es\, and how communicators can use this information to more effectively co
 nnect with their audiences and support opinion and behavior change. Matthe
 w is originally from Michigan\, but works remotely in Olympia\, WA\, right
  at the edge of the rainforest.  Please be sure to register\, and feel fr
 ee to invite others - the Climate Cafe isn't just for Rotarians! Sue PS: W
 hen you register you'll get a confirmation email with the Zoom link.  I'l
 l also send a reminder on the 23rd that includes the link.  Feel free to
