Hi, it’s your friendly neighborhood climate scientist. Facing the #climatecrisis is tough! Here’s the essentials you need to know, tips for finding where you can contribute with purpose and meaning to the work needed, and evidence-based high-impact climate actions. A THREAD: 1/n

Number of comments directed at me in the last 24 hours claiming climate science isn't real and/or accusing me of lying, venality, and more: On Instagram - none On Substack - none On LinkedIn - none On Threads - none On Bluesky - none On X - 325 x.com/KHayhoe/status…

Today, Nov 5, is Election Day in the US. Climate is on the ballot 🌎🗳️‼️ It’s time to vote AND. Vote + continue to organize. Vote + push our leaders on climate policy. Vote + build grassroots leadership. Vote + reshape culture. The list goes on… But VOTE. The climate needs us.

Seeking the safe and just space for humans on Earth; how to turn a gnawing rat of avoidance into a fluffy white sheep of possibility; and democratic principles for doing the work to build the world we want, now out in wecanfixit.substack.com/p/875-screwed

Live now: as Florida braces for a powerful category 5 hurricane, we continue discussing the climate crisis and what’s at stake in the presidential election. Join us w/@lunduniversity @KA_Nicholas + @centerforbiodiv @brett_hartl. kalw.org/show/your-call…

@steviedubyu Thank you Steve for your great work! Glad you're happy with my summary :)

Check out Kim's substack (and research) - she's a pioneer in the field of low-carbon leading by example... 💫 And thanks, Kim, for a great summary of our article!

Why do leaders fail to lead by example on climate? Two main reasons: support for high-carbon norms, and fear of moral judgments. Read my breakdown of @steviedubyu's new study, + mixed climate emotions and how to be a climate🐧not a🐺: open.substack.com/pub/wecanfixit…

@steviedubyu Huge congrats Steve on getting this important work out there! Excited for your forthcoming paper too. I hope it will include a figure that summarizes the main findings? It's SO much easier to share widely that way. I could see a "Discourses of delay" style figure working well!

Here's the link to the MPs paper again... Thanks for reading this far! 23/22 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Super-happy to share the first paper from my PhD, published in ERSS🧵 We explore how UK politicians view their responsibility to lead by example with low-carbon behaviour (or not) TLDR: some MPs lead by example on the quiet, but fear being "extreme" 1/ sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@giulio_mattioli always good advice! :)

TFW the *other* reviewer intimates to the authors to cite Mattioli more 😐😂

I have just read this again, by @KA_Nicholas. And it resonates.

Great to discuss my concept the Polluter Elite @NPR show @1a "The Polluter Elite are optional, it's not fixed, it's not inevitable" My key points from 41 mins 30 secs, listen to me, @KA_Nicholas @jenniecstephens the1a.org/segments/the-h… Summary here linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

@MattGoldberg100 It’s hard to know what to do! I’ve been far less active on social overall, but more time on Substack and LinkedIn. It’s a different audience and pace/conversation though - pros and cons. Good luck!!

@KA_Nicholas Thanks @KA_Nicholas! Makes sense. I made a Bluesky account a while ago but haven't used it. Maybe it's time!

🌎 I was almost totally absent from here for 2023 but have been missing sharing our work with all you wonderful folks. So I'm batching together a ton of our research that came out in 2023 ICYMI... 🧵🧵🧵

@MattGoldberg100 @kristiansn89 @YaleClimateComm @YaleEnvironment But I'm happy to see your very cool work!

@MattGoldberg100 @kristiansn89 @YaleClimateComm @YaleEnvironment (Hi Matt! I found that once you (nearly) leave, you can't come back-- I believe low engagement is because the algorithm ensures no one sees your posts, + few people are still here!)

@lolaannamendez Just saw this, sorry to miss you but glad you got the piece out!

@KA_Nicholas Hi Kimberly! I'm working on a quick turnaround piece today for BBC about private jets, carbon emissions, and carbon offsets and would love to interview you. If you have time this afternoon please DM me or email me, lolaannmendez@gmail.com. Thanks!

@nytdavidbrooks Thank you David for this stirring and provocative essay. Pondering now over front porch coffee and I will return to it and share further. FYI, your bio at the end of this piece still says “forthcoming” for HOW TO KNOW A PERSON (which I also enjoyed!)

In this essay I do my best to capture the cultural and psychological force distorting American life: the seductive power of collective pessimism. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
