Given the success of the polluting industries in feeding the public with disinformation on global warming (Greenpeace, 2021), Lance Bennett’s book on Communicating the Future – Solutions for Environment, Economy and Democracy seeks to address the question of how environmental groups can better communicate the issue of global warming. His five chapters examine how to (1) communicate complex problems; (2) environmental communication; (3) economics versus environment; (4) democracy; and (5) communicating change. The book’s acknowledgement starts with, ‘this book offers a framework for developing more effective political communication’ (p. vi) and counterbalances global warming deniers like ‘Charles Koch’ (p. ix) who have moved us towards ‘The Disinformation Age’ (Klikauer and Campbell, 2021: ix). Bennett laments that many environmental groups ‘continue to reproduce communication that does not work well’ (p. 5). To fix this, Bennett’s first argument is that his book ‘is not a book that invents new proposals for building a better world’ (p. 6). Instead, his framework offers ‘a simple model that citizens, organisations, and communication scholars can use to think and act differently about a set of problems that current approaches are failing to solve’ (p. 6). To do that, Bennett proposes five steps (p. 6):
