Dear colleagues – I teach an online general intro to climate change course + have a broad range of recorded lectures suitable for jr/senior undergrads or non-specialist masters students you can use to teach remotely. Topics below. If you would like to use any, just let me know!
General introductions to: observational evidence for climate change, attribution to human causes, impacts by sector and region across the US as well as an overview of global impacts, climate models and scenarios, targets, policy mechanisms and of course, climate communication!
Also please see the wonderful @denial101x a MOOC with dozens of interviews with top experts in the field and don’t forget globalweirdingseries.com as well!

One of the most frequent questions I'm asked is, "what gives you hope?" and my first answer is, not the science. Nearly every new study shows things are changing faster or to a greater extent than we thought, and this one by @AndyShep_CPOM is no exception. usatoday.com/story/news/wor…
My second answer, is not the politics. Whether it's frustration with the status quo or the hope that candidate X will save us, the former doesn't give me any hope and the latter is doomed to disappoint as any one person only has limited ability to effect change.
Hope comes from people - from searching out and sharing stories of surprising and unexpected actors, from individuals to organizations - and from acting ourselves. As @GretaThunberg not only says but demonstrates, "no one is too small to make a difference."

Returning via @DFWAirport from an abruptly truncated lecture series in the UK yesterday, I was expecting the worst after reading the online horror stories -- but from the door of the arriving plane to the gate of our domestic connection took only 23 min. (cont'd)
The immigration hall that on Saturday had been packed wall-to-wall with hundreds of people had maybe a hundred in it, with empty machines and just a few minute's wait to see an officer. But the health screening was minimal ...
On the plane we were asked to complete this form stating if we'd been in China - nowhere else. Isn't that a little out of date?!

A common question I'm getting these days is, what does #COVID19 or #coronavirus have to do with climate change? The short answer is, very little; but the long answer is, everything is related. This thread explains ...
Climate change is expected to increase the geographic range of infectious diseases with scary names like zika or chikingunya carried by “vectors” - ticks, mosquitoes, and other animals - whose geographic range is limited, and expands in a warming climate. health2016.globalchange.gov/vectorborne-di…
In some cases, as we found in this study on dengue led by @raericksonWI, the range of the disease will shift rather than expand, with more northern areas becoming more vulnerable while southern areas become too hot so less vulnerable. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

My university just announced that we are shifting all courses #online for several weeks due to #coronavirus. I spent the last month on jury duty & as a result had to unexpectedly move my class online with no notice. I've got some thoughts (thread): #AcademicTwitter #CovidCampus
Before you do anything else, take a minute & look at your syllabus & course schedule. One of the things I realized was that in an online setting there were a number of topics that made more sense in a different order than in the face-to-face scenario I originally laid out. (2/16)
Whatever your course topic is, at some point, you are going to stare into that webcam & think about lecturing for an hour. Don't do it. If you do decide to record a video lecture keep it short. Like under 10 minutes - although the research says they should be even shorter. (3/16)

Beste mensen, er is geen significante zeespiegelstijging, geen globalwarming, ijsberen gaat ook prima mee, stikstofcrisis is ook verzonnen, etc.
U wordt allemaal gefopt en de gepeperde rekening volgt nog 😈

Conversation that Matters & de voornaamste fysicus Freeman Dyson van Princeton University, die zegt dat modellen een goed werk doen om ons te helpen het klimaat te begrijpen, maar ze doen een zeer slechte job om het te voorspellen.
Where are the experts now, who were prophesying 12-13 years ago the thinning & disappearing of Arctic Sea Ice by year 2015?
The Arctic Se Ice extent is now only 2.4% below the 1979-2019 average for January. That's well within 1 SD.
FAILED PREDICTIONS!

In April, Alberta, Canada, will elect a new provincial government. Many may be unaware that the current @rachelnotley govt has adopted a globally significant #climate plan. Here is what's in it, what it has done, and what is at stake next month. A THREAD #abvote 1/24
First, where did Alberta’s Climate Leadership Plan plan come from? (George Soros, perhaps? Foreign-funded radicals?) No. It came from Albertans. A volunteer panel led by @andrew_leach spoke w 1K residents in-person and heard from 25K+ online. 2/24
The panel also engaged with 350+ stakeholders and met w Aboriginal Peoples in three cities, and received hundreds of detailed submissions from NGOs, industry groups and others. 3/24

One thing in the way of effective action on our #climate crisis (and our toxics crisis, our biodiversity crisis, our plastics in the ocean crisis, not to mention our violence, war, poverty, racism, & sexism crises) is a terrible misunderstanding of who/what we are.
Many people speak about this as a spiritual/moral crisis and I agree. But, the misunderstanding I want to talk about is at once simpler and more profound.
(Note - when I say 'we' I mean those of us acculturated into the western industrial growth mindset, which in evolutionarily relevant timescales has only been around for a fleeting instant. Humans haven't always thought this way, and not all humans alive today think this way.)

#climate twitter! I want to donate 10% of my 2019 income where it will do the most good to reduce emissions. Would love to hear your take on the most effective orgs (in this thread or private DM). Thanks! Ping @drvox @KHayhoe @Fisher_DanaR @AmyAHarder @LeehiYona @EricHolthaus
As I replied to @EricHolthaus- I'm aware of and inspired by @givingwhatwecan & @GiveWell work on global health/poverty; I personally want to support climate mitigation. I realize there's no one right answer, depends on theory of change etc; curious to hear different perspectives.
Esp. in climate arena where impact could be on different possible levels (eg X tons avoided from cookstoves vs Y tons #fossil CO2 kept in the ground vs systemic political or economic change)- curious to hear diverse range of theory of change or evidence of effectiveness.
