The most important thing any of us can do about climate change is ... talk about it! What if I don't feel ready? asked @emorwee, at the virtual kick-off to Earth Week. No problem, I said, these key resources will get you right up to speed! (thread)
First of all, the goal is not to tackle the 10% of us who are dismissive on climate change. As I discuss here, conversations with that group - small in number, tho very loud in voice - are unlikely to be constructive.
But if you want the science to be able to say firmly, "NO, Uncle Joe, that is NOT correct" before immediately pivoting to talking about HOW climate change matters to us and WHAT we can do to fix it, it's right here: skepticalscience.com/argument.php
Also, @ClimateFdbk "peer-reviews" the truthfulness of news articles climatefeedback.org and the National Climate Assessment has a great FAQ section nca2018.globalchange.gov/chapter/append…
Don't miss Cranky Uncle, a brand-new phone app AND book by @johnfocook that brings out all of cranky uncle's favorite hits (It's the sun! Volcanoes! China!) and tackles them all. crankyuncle.com
But our Global Weirding series, over 30 short episodes on YouTube, explains why more scientific facts aren't the main thing that's going to change people's minds:
Instead, we need to bond over shared values, listen and respect each other, as this fantastic @ClimateOutreach manual, Talking Climate, explains: climateoutreach.org/resources/how-…
Then we need to connect the dots between what we already care about and how climate change affects us - lots of Global Weirding videos do that! globalweirdingseries.com
And finally, we need to inspire each other with positive, beneficial solutions like the many described by @ProjectDrawdown drawdown.org
For more examples of how to bond, connect, and inspire through conversation, please watch (and share!) ted.com/talks/katharin…
