As any journalist can tell you: the climate crisis is a communication crisis. To hold accountable the industries destroying our planet, we must become more adept at the practices that nurture our imaginary about how to live collectively.

Pezzullo, coauthor of <i>Environmental Communication & the Public Sphere, Sixth Edition</i> A brilliant, sharp, and original book on how we talk about climate change, and what a difference that might make for our collective future. Change begins with words, and Russell presents an inspiring call for journalists and citizens to lead it. -- Zizi Papacharissi, author of <i>After Democracy: Imagining Our Political Future</i> The Mediated Climate is the most comprehensive analysis to date of the intersection of the climate and information crises. Adrianne Russell expertly examines how climate discourses are created and negotiated in a polluted information environment. The book presents inspiring successes for anyone who is engaged in reclaiming our mediated spaces. -- Bruno Takahashi, Michigan State University The Mediate Climate puts the titans of the status quo on notice as it confronts dominant power structures that quell the bold action needed to confront the climate crisis. By scrutinizing the intersections between climate change and information ecosystems, the book shows that this is a social, political, cultural, technological and existential set of intersecting challenges we must bravely address now. -- Max Boykoff, University of Colorado Boulder
