The population of the #UK is so far behind doing sufficient #climate mitigation that to get ahead of the curve will take nothing short of a cultural #evolution

Maybe the effects of #ClimateChange will motivate a massive cultural change in the right direction, perhaps they won't.

I for one am not willing to wait & see. This post is a callout for any #rewilding projects that could use 'hands-on assistance' from a #ConservationBiologist

EU passes nature restoration law in knife-edge vote

"An open letter signed by 6,000 scientists said opponents of the law “not only lack scientific evidence, but even contradict it”. They highlighted studies showing that restoring nature would improve food security, help fisheries, create jobs and save money...We are systematically hearing #misinformation,” said Guy Pe’er, a #ConservationBiologist "

The #Sustainability Team.

Think of a team that was laser focused on acquiring the prerequisite knowledge that was essential to develop a sustainable society (AKA a way of living ecologically sustainably)

#TeamWork

E.g., one team member who is a #ConservationBiologist (specialist) & science generalist, wants to know more about whether (or not) a biodegradable plant based plastic can be robust enough to do "X", so, she discusses this with a material scientist

As a #psychologist & #ConservationBiologist with a sense of irony & humour - l can 100% say that The Conversion article "The thinking error that makes people susceptible to #climate change denial" is 100% perfect.

And there was me - just thinking that people were either stupid or corrupt (has to be one or the other! Right?)

#psychology of not really #stupid but not really clever either.

? Is, how to mitigate it without condescending not really stupid nor clever?

Beside my work as a #ConservationBiologist I’ve been a #firefighter for 22 years now. Anyone else here a volunteer fire fighter? #rurallife

#Introduction

Hi, I consider myself an #evolutionary #biologist because I fit that description.

Academically, I am a university trained #ConservationBiologist and a #psychologist

I have studied the #epistemology termed the #philosophy of science - I aim to adhere to the scientific method[s] with no exceptions. I'm a fact seeker, not a social status seeker - these two variables often do not positively correlate.

I have zero doubts that I am an #evolved #organism

I adore #music
