End Climate Silence: Genevieve Guenther

September 26th, 2024

”Get coal, oil, and methane gas out of our systems.”

We discuss deepening our understanding of the climate crisis, the urgent need for decarbonization, and our role in speaking truth about phasing out fossil fuels.

Genevieve Guenther is the founding director of End Climate Silence and affiliate faculty at The New School. Her most recent book is The Language of Climate Politics: Fossil-Fuel Propaganda and How to Fight It.

Genevieve’s civic action toolkit recommendations are

  1. Call your elected representatives and demand policies to phase out fossil fuels.

  2. If extreme weather comes up in conversation, connect the dots to climate change and say: “We really need to phase out fossil fuels so we can halt global heating.”
