@thenewsoncnbc @JVos63 @AndrewDessler The question how many climate refugees are expected is ~ covered in SR1.5 table 3.4. The paper which the table's based on has a video abstract👇BY !2050! on a 2˚ (or 3˚) pathway over 500 mio ppl (or 1.2bn) are exposed & vulnerable to multiple climate risks:
@thenewsoncnbc @JVos63 @AndrewDessler When @Nature was #CoveringClimateNow in 2019, they made a gif of the paper / table.
@nature was #CoveringClimateNow in 2019.
Their campaign was headed by this piece, "The hard truths of climate change — by the numbers"
The clip is part of it. It's an illustraton of IPCC SR 15 chapter 3, table 3.4. Good to download and share far and wide.

Maybe, I'll translate it to German, what do you think?
IPCC SR 15 chapter 3 table 3.4, number of people in millions exposed to various risks at 1.5C, 2C and 3C. 3C is what Dr Merkel is aiming for and is right on target.
I think, the clip shows an incorrect colour code for Australia's and Argentina's risk score, right?

I'm blown away by the idea blitz & connectivity at our first face-to-face @columbia @earthinstitute #climatecomm #sustcomm network meetup & workshop. Despite snow, ~100 students, staff, faculty, alums explored ways to accelerate & spread climate & CO2 progress. A few threads: 1/
@DrKateMarvel, Cynthia T. of @climatesociety, @climateofgavin, Jeremy H. of @earthinstitute & others focused on building a creative & effective arts/climate relationship. More soon!

We explored humor & climate (yes) via a visit by @RollieWilliams, aka "Al Gore", host of @InconvenientTS! I mentioned one of my favorite examples of student #climateart with purpose - a Halifax art student's Facebook chat among endangered species (linked to a @WWF campaign) 3/
Blown away by the turnout, insights & brainstorming on #coveringclimateHOW (vital facet of #coveringclimatenow) at our first @BrownInstitute @earthinstitute #sustcomm #climatecomm mixer. Scientists & journalists huddling over random stories to find new angles. And what a mix! 1/
And led off by a fine panel on pathways to effective climate reporting featuring Moses Shumow of @EmersonSOC, @SominiSengupta of @nytclimate & @johnupton of @climatecentral, which is doing great partnerships/collaborative journalism (including with @earthinstitute soon). 2/
Where else can you hear a chat involving a PhD in education design (@omangen), climate-focused comedian (@chucknicecomic) and the architect of endclimatesilence.org and scholar of #climatechange usage (@DoctorVive)? 3/
More coming soon on our @earthinstitute #SustainWhat blog!

As part of #CoveringClimateNow, a project co-founded by @thenation and our partner @CJR, we’re highlighting cases of journalists working to cover climate change who have been captured in the @uspresstracker database : cjr.org/covering_clima…
NYPD officers arrested independent journalist @Nigrotime while he was covering an #ExtinctionRebellion demonstration in June. Both Nigro’s cell phone and camera were seized as evidence and not returned to him until a week later : #CoveringClimateNow pressfreedomtracker.us/all-incidents/…
On May 3, a Pennsylvania judge denied a natural gas company’s attempt to subpoena two @PittsburghPG reporters and an editor, citing state’s shield law : #CoveringClimateNow pressfreedomtracker.us/all-incidents/…
JUST IN: As the Senate fails to act on catastrophic climate change, nearly one-third of its members are profiting from investments in oil, gas, and coal companies that are fueling the crisis. #CoveringClimateNow readsludge.com/2019/09/24/fac…
Twenty-nine senators and their spouses own between $3.5 million and $13.9 million worth of stock in companies that extract, transport, or burn fossil fuels, or provide services to fossil fuel companies, according to a Sludge analysis of personal financial filings as of Aug. 16.
The senators are invested in 86 fossil fuel companies, including well-known giants like ExxonMobil and Royal Dutch Shell, but also a range of lesser known companies that specialize in pipeline operations, natural gas exports, and oilfield services.

In the course of the 2017 North Dakota Access Pipeline protests in Standing Rock, eight journalists were arrested, six had their equipment searched or seized and one was injured when shot by police with rubber bullets : #CoveringClimateNow pressfreedomtracker.us/all-incidents/…
The North Dakota legislature has since proposed legislation to make records related to pipeline projects in the state exempt from open records requests. It was signed into law on April 9 of this year : #CoveringClimateNow
It would be great to see more news outlets sign up to the #CoveringClimateNow initiative which “aims to convene and inform a conversation among journalists about how all news outlets […] can do justice to the defining story of our time.”

“We see #CoveringClimateNow as a fulfillment of journalism’s most sacred responsibilities, which are to inform people and foster constructive debate about common challenges and opportunities. Arguably, no problem in today’s world is more challenging”
Still, too many outlets treat the climate crisis like just another story. While it will be pivotal to avoid oversaturation so as not to dash hope and motivation to act, the topic should be given top priority. Otherwise, how can we hope that change will happen?
