Climate: “Better fight against our collective inaction” thanks to linguistics

This week’s France Book is called Bla bla bla, put an end to climate talk, published by Robert. The author, Albin Wagener, sociolinguist, dissects the different types of discourse to talk about climate and between climatosceptics, technosolutionists, hummingbirds or collapsers… A common point: the use of words to influence us and to try to justify or to camouflage our paralysis in the face of urgency.
