Discover how to stand up, speak your mind, and encourage your audience past climate silence. By analyzing speeches and how they worked, social anthropologist and professional speechwriter Rune Kier Nielsen breaks down nine common flaws of climate rhetoric and how to fix them in this thorough, engaging guide to speechwriting toward climate action.
