There are a few psychological tactics that can be used to subtly influence someone’s perspective on climate change without them noticing. These techniques include appealing to authority by emphasizing the opinion of experts and scientific groups, playing upon people’s moral values, utilizing language that creates an emotional response, linking the issue to tangible experiences such as current weather events, or offering visuals to illustrate concepts like carbon footprint and renewable energy sources. Using these tactics in conjunction creates a powerful psychological manipulation strategy with which we can try to alter opinions and attitudes regarding climate change.

You can start by framing environmental issues as an economic or lifestyle choice, rather than a moral obligation. When people recognize there is some type of tangible benefit to reducing their energy consumption, they are more likely to take action. 

There is also evidence that using fear appeal language encourages people to take quick action without them realizing it. By emphasizing the danger and gravity of not taking immediate action against climate change, you can tap into psychological tactics that focus on creating a sense of urgency and helplessness which triggers a stronger response from your audience. 

Another way to subtly use psychology to create an impact is by utilizing social proof and referencing current events. Telling people their community shares the same views as them or highlighting how other countries are embracing green energy policies will create an understanding in your audience’s minds that this transition does not have to happen alone - it’s part of global movements in progress towards sustainability efforts!
