When we talk about climate change, it’s easy to get stuck in our terrestrial mammal mindset. Let’s face it: most of us are total dry land chauvinists. The only time we even notice something’s happening to the ocean is when it’s gnawing away at our coastline. But something else is going on just beneath the surface. Certain sections of the ocean are losing oxygen – and that’s just as bad for sea creatures as it would be for us.

On Your Call, Thursday December 20th we aired a pre-taped conversation looking back at climate change activism over the last year.  What strides have we made? Where have we fallen short?  The UN climate talks in Doha, Qatar this month didn’t seem to move the international community any closer to solutions.  So what needs to be done?  Can local actions make a difference?  What are we facing for climate change in 2013?  

Guests:

On today's Your Call, we’ll have a conversation with Annie Leonard, creator of The Story of Stuff and Jonah Sachs, author of Winning the Story Wars, about how environmental messages are created and which ones really make a difference.  We'll also speak with Ed Maibach, director of the Center for Climate Change Communication.  What kinds of stories motivate you, change your mind, inspire you, make you angry, and get you to act?  Join us at 10am PST or post a comment here.  Does climate change need a new messenger?  It’s Your Call with Rose Aguilar, and you.
