Have you ever found yourself in a conversation that was going really well, so well in fact the other person seemed to like you, like, a lot? Like:
Or:
And then all of a sudden, the topic of climate change comes up, and you’re in a struggle.
Like, a MAJOR struggle. You try to get out. But you can’t.
the conversation gets frustrating
even hostile
The vibe goes from “Yes yes yes!”
to “no no no”
in two simple words:
climate change.
and all of a sudden the person hates you
and their friends hate you
Even if your position is supported by facts, they say ‘wrong’.
Well I’m about to tell you about a free Climate Advocate Training you can attend that will equip you with the tools you need
to turn a no about climate change
into a “yes”:
Are you excited??
Are you paying attention to what I’m saying??
