Climate at Noon: Dr. Alex Stoner: Climate Anxiety, Disavowal, and the Illusion of Economic Growth
Dr. Stoner is an associate professor of sociology and department head at Northern Michigan University. He is an environmental sociologist who studies the social drivers of societal responses to climate change. His most recent research examines the political-economic and ideological barriers to more effective and meaningful responses to the climate emergency.
During this discussion, he will identify the socio-structural causes of climate anxiety, explore the phenomenon of climate disavowal, and discuss policy implications for confronting our current ecological predicament.
