Interview: On climate shame among older and younger people (03.01.2023)
How is the use of language about "shame" in questions about climate change received by the older generations of Norwegians (65+), and what does talking about shame accomplish? Should we rather talk about responsibility or guilt?
A new survey testifies to a common understanding across generations about climate and lifestyle. But there are also disagreements.
