The wallet card is inspired by research by the Center for Climate Change Communication at George Mason University and the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication. Read the paper by Nic Badullovich, Climate Museum Advisory Council Members Ed Maibach and Tony Leiserowitz, and their colleagues here.

The paper shows that the six key truths of climate change—climate change is real, it's caused by us, experts agree it's happening, it's bad, others care about it, there's hope in addressing it—are great places to start a climate conversation. To different extents, they also predict real-world actions like supporting climate policies, seeking and sharing information, and political advocacy.

OTHERS CARE

THERE’S HOPE
By speaking up, you’re creating the cultural shift we need to support good policy (source).
