🚨 Helping climate science break through to many more people - and unlock action. Brainchild of climate comms lab @utopiabureau.bsky.social and campaigner @nickoldridge.bsky.social https://www.climatesciencebreakthrough.com
If this was tv show the plot would be too crass to commission.
One of broligarchy sacking Pulitzer Prize winners to foster misinformation and plain stupidly at the time when our very earth systems are in dire trouble.

Extremely disingenuous article...even by Telegraph standards!
Very good thread on climate comms as ever by @thierryaaron.bsky.social
100%!!
A must-read editorial by ace climate journalist @emorwee.bsky.social.

Literally every US climate scientist is posting about Trump shutting down the NCAR research lab in Boulder. Perhaps it's an even worse idea than the usual merely-very-bad ideas?

Looking for books to get for #climate curious friends & family this Christmas🎄?
Here are 6 of my favourites reads this year.
First up, Yale University historian Sunil Amrith's relentlessly edifying 'The Burning Earth'. A staggeringly comprehensive account of how we got to where we are! 🧵
Donald J. Trump & @realDonald Trump I (WE!) just won the War on the Climate Change Hoax. Bill Gates has finally admitted that he was completely WRONG on the issue. It took courage to do so, and for that we are all grateful. MAGA!!! 475 ReTruths 1.67k Likes Oct 29, 2025 at 5:45 PM
I’ve written an entire book showing how centrist economists & techno-optimists provide a permission structure for climate propaganda, creating an overlapping false consensus that we can keep using fossil-fuels and still deal w climate change anyway.
Here’s a good example of that dynamic 👇
Great piece on "tactical frivolity" by @shteyngart.bsky.social in NYT: "Frivolity and absurdity are kryptonite to authoritarians".
As perfected by Otpor among others.
Humor is the antidote!

The fossil fuel industry can only survive by capturing government - and clamping down on people protesting this...

"If geoengineering works well initially & you see this temperature drop, the tempempation to keep going & extracting fossil fuels will be greater than ever, because it will seem that you have a technologically that can cut off the link between temperature rises & fossil fuel combustion."
Comics who took the Saudi dollar facing a richly-deserved backlash.
Not mentioned but also important: Saudi's dastardly role in obstructing climate action for decades...

As the US spirals out of control, let's be clear who the architects of this chaos are. A fossil fuel industry hell-bent on preserving its destructive business.
Yet in the UK, their lobbyists roam the palace of Westminster with privileged access to ministers. At what point will we say enough?

"From 2019-2024, Reform received more than 90% of its funding, £2.3 million, from individuals and companies linked to polluting industries and climate science denial.
"Bringing this information to the attention of voters 'was the only message to significantly reduce willingness to vote for Reform'"
Nothing to worry about
Thanks for sharing 🔥
Our approach is to try and shape a narrative that starts with the scale and immediacy of the crisis, tells you why it's not being addressed, and leads you to urgent action.
No truth = no action = no hope.
#TellTheTruth #ClimateAction
But in our experience, forced positivity can make you feel the crisis is under control, so you don't need to act.
Also it's not honest. People aren't stupid, they instinctively feel it if you're bullshitting them...
Doomism is toxic. But so is hopium, the insistence on only telling positive stories for fear of freaking everyone out.
We do absolutely need to point to a positive way forward (and there is one), otherwise we'd all just crawl under the duvet.
#climatesolutions
The reality isn't entirely rosy. We've made progress compared to previous likely outcomes, but the outlook is still grim, as we spell out....
Climate Science Translated Breakdown #10/10:
NO HONESTY = NO HOPE
There is an ongoing debate in climate communications about doom and gloom vs hope. 🧵
#climatecommunication #climatescience
We are still in search of an effective yet widely appealing call to action, which tbh probably needs an entire movement attached to it! Work in progress...⏰
UK research showed that our films are very effective in making people want to take action (87.5% more likely to take action). But, it's fair to say people are not bowled over by the options available. Some simply feel they have no political agency whatsoever (and who can blame them!)
In the UK, we invited people to join a march or protest, to see their MP, to change their bank, to join a local group, to share with friends - deliberately giving a range of options ✊🔥📢

Awareness doesn't always lead to action. If you don't give a credible account of agency, of how people can affect the dire situation you've just explained, they won't act. 🧵
In the US, it's call or go see your elected representative...
