Hot Takes Happy Hour: How Should We Talk About Climate?A Lunch, Unpacked special edition Some say we should stop saying “climate change” altogether. Others say people need more science and facts. Others say human stories are what actually move people. Who’s right? Join us at the Alliance Center for a happy hour edition of Lunch, Unpacked, where we put these views in the same room and let them rub up against each other. What to expect Hot takes: Each speaker gets a short, timed slot (and up to 5 slides) to share their take on how we talk about climate. It’s timed, but it’s all in good fun. A lively panel: Our moderator will keep things moving, push back where needed, and open the floor for your questions. Time to connect: Grab a drink, meet fellow members of the Denver climate community, and keep the conversation going after the panel. The sparkThis event started with a community member’s provocative essay, “What If Climate Change Didn’t Exist?”, which argues that advocates should sell the same solutions on cost, health, and energy security without leading with the phrase “climate change.” You don’t have to agree with it. Come ready to weigh in.
