#ClimateDiary 2 tolle Ausstellungen über die Klimakrise/ 2 great exhibitions dealing with climate crisis in Vienna (Technisches Museum) and Frankfurt/Main (Museum für Kommunikation), focussing on solutions and hope. Made my holiday 😁😁😁 https://www.technischesmuseum.at/ausstellung/energiewende , https://www.mfk-frankfurt.de/klima_x/?lang=en #climatecommunication #climatecrisis #energiewende

"Climate change in communication, public or private, has to do with feelings and how to deal with them. Values have to be re-learned or unlearned, and new narratives have to be imagined in order to be able to develop future perspectives. In this context, people like to listen to the ideas of established voices and yearn for leadership, while it would now be important for each individual to communicate their ideas."

Prof. Birgit Schneider, University Potsdam, Germany

"Our goal is to re-imagine climate communication by bringing together a wide range of different voices that serve to broaden our overall scope and frames of reference."

Our volunteer Bärbel Winkler filed her daily report from the 2023 AGU General Assembly.

The post includes a laundry list of nuances and subtleties in communicating science to the general public in contexts fraught with hazard, risk and public policy implications, from the session "Beyond SciComm 101: what is meaningful & ethical communication when it comes to the climate crisis?"

Shouting loudly is a bit too simple? It seems so.

We have boots on the ground at this year's EGU General Assembly. Our volunteer Bärbel Winkler is convening/presenting/attending in Vienna, focusing on matters of science communication. Our path to climate progress travels through human cognition-- a trail frequently littered by bunk-- so sharper education tools are better.

Bärbel's filing daily distillations on our blog. See Monday's report at the link!

Skeptical Science team members Bärbel Winkler & John Mason are presenting in several sessions of the upcoming 2023 EGU General Assembly.

Our topics:

* Communicating climate change to the general public via paleoclimate records of Ynyslas in Wales, UK;

* Systematic plain-language accessibility improvements of our climate science myth-busting;

* The game Cranky Uncle and our experience with amusing and improving players.

💯 “We've got to understand #biodiversity in a more sophisticated way. We've got to understand biodiversity as intrinsically intertwined with our entire global #economy. Whether as a #narrative, dramatic #storyteller or within the context of trying to help talk about biodiversity in ways that illuminate it, I think a lot of it is just narrative.” - Ed Norton https://www.washingtonpost.com/washington-post-live/2023/03/29/scott-z-burns-edward-norton-new-climate-drama-extrapolations/ #climatecommunication #climatestorytelling

'Talking about the climate crisis is one of the best ways you can help'. Interesting interview between Jessica #Kleczka and Margaret Klein #Salomon: two #ClinicalPsychologists who turned to #ClimateActivism. #ClimateCommunication #EnvironmentalPsychology

I like it. “A more direct, economical, pleasurable and honest route than obsessing over #foodwaste is to use the #food we have — to follow the examples of the thousands of ways frugal #cooks from across the globe have done this for millennia.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/03/13/food-waste-problem/ #climatecommunication #sustainabilityleadership

"Here are three steps we can take to raise the public’s awareness and make #ClimateChange an important issue for everyone in Indonesia" and indeed anywhere."

The advice is the same for everywhere, really: learn about your audience, meet them where they're at, use all the channels available.

Back in 2014 @SkepticalScience ran what we called "97 Hours of Consensus," a campaign consisting of hourly releases of cartoon drawings of climate scientists, with pithy quotes from each, to illustrate overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change to the general public.

We automated posts for each hour on Facebook and Twitter, using respective APIs.

We reached millions of people with our message.

Impossible for us with today's Twitter.

Way to lead in this storytelling space, Project Drawdown. Can’t wait to watch it. “The #documentary is a multi-part compilation of the nine interviews, and will be released in full on February 15 on the Project Drawdown website. The goal is to get the project in the hands of #educators and neighborhood groups that can help share the message that everyone can contribute to #climatesolutions.” https://lnkd.in/eYEhzFRU #climatecommunication #environmentaljustice #climatespace #climateactivism
