Humans are 22x more likely to remember stories than facts. We need more stories that show people how they can contribute to solving #ClimateChange , not just facts showing that the world is ending. And this toolkit that was just shared with me has some great starter ideas! https://www.wearefuterra.com/thinks/stories-to-save-the-world

#Meteorologist Chris Gloninger doesn't begrudge anyone having opposing views — even, he said, if they're not supported by evidence....'I don't judge anybody, and I don't judge someone's upbringing and their beliefs. I just hope and pray for #kindness, even if you don't agree with someone's views.'" https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/06/22/iowa-meteorologist-climate-change-death-threats-career/70347185007/

ICYMI: #ClimateReality Project now has a #MontereyBay Area chapter, launched May 2023. https://bikemonterey.org/act-on-climate-monterey-bay-chapter-climate-reality-project.html

Whose reasons for #biking include #ClimateChange and other #environmental impacts of #transportation?

Among the many who bike in part to help care for the earth are 82-yr-old Dave, who we met biking the #MontereyBay coastal trail; 43-yr-old Patrick, who we met at a #Monterey-#Salinas Transit plaza; 34-yr-old Sierra, a Connecticut resident who laments infrastructure by her home isn't nearly as safe as other places she's biked, including Amsterdam; and 42-yr-old Phil / @ascentale, an Oakland #BikeLeague LCI. https://bikemonterey.org/voices-of-people-who-bike-part-1-who-bikes-why-and-memories.html

How common are #solarsharing #agrivoltaics projects in the #EU #US #UK? I received this from the #climatereality project in #Japan. #agriculture #farming #climatebreakdown #climateaction #greenenergy https://climaterealityjapan.org/01/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/EN_Agrivoltaics-Pamphlet_CRPJapan.pdf

Looking for #ClimateReality in #MontereyBay area? Sara Rubin, editor of #MontereyCounty Weekly, provides an intro to the new #Monterey Bay chapter of #Climate Reality Project.

"Part of what this new chapter plans to do is bring together existing organizations that are active in different realms of climate advocacy—from #bicycling to #EV charging stations to #marine protection—looking to apply principles learned in leadership training. #Electrification and a #CleanEnergy transition are high on the priority list, but the agenda will be driven by volunteers." https://www.montereycountyweekly.com/opinion/mcnow_intro/an-opportunity-to-be-a-leader-in-our-climate-future/article_65698e44-f8fd-11ed-a46b-4354571f426b.html

Fascinating #ClimateReality talk with #GeorgeMonbiot about his book Regenesis: Feeding the World Without Devouring the Planet. Beyond the well advertised point about the importance of #microbiomes to produce #food, #Monbiot was anxious to ensure people talk about the extreme frailty of today's #agriculture #foodsystem: how corporate interests completely stripped off system #resilience mechanisms like redundancy, circuit breakers etc, leaving us at high #risk/high impact https://www.monbiot.com/books/

A commentary I wrote for the good folks at #ClimateReality 5 years ago that is extremely relevant to what we're seeing play out in the eastern half of the U.S. right now:

"Longtermism is by contrast the hubris of a species in more trouble than it is willing to admit."

"facing up to climate reality is not merely an emergency; it’s a complete challenge to our civilisational model. The last thing we need is to lose a laser-like focus on the truth about our desperate predicament." Dr Rupert Read

The dominant narrative of the climate community is off-track vs the science. There are plenty of reasons to feel a burning urgency without inventing new ones. I learnt a lot from this convo with @RogerPielkeJr . https://climatepodnotes.substack.com/p/keeping-the-science-in-climate-science

Seeking a #climatereality check on gaps between what NYS's legislature has mandated on a #climatechange-driven #energytransition & what's happening on the grid? Read @colinreads @nysfocus story. Quite a contrast with breezy projections like this NRDC '17 report. Key section: 1/
