I've put all three of my #agu20 talks online so you can watch them without needing an (expensive) registration! (short thread)
My first #AGU20 talk lists 10 things climate change and coronavirus have in common - from their disproportionate impact on the marginalized & poor to rampant disinformation. What can we learn from this past year that could help us fix the climate crisis?
My second #AGU20 talk is for my fellow scientists who are interested in communication beyond the ivory tower. How can we be more effective? Focus, learn, practice ... and evaluate!
My third #AGU20 talk is for those of us working at the interface of policy, decision-making and science. Our entire society is built on the assumption of climate stationarity. What do we do when it fails us?
Finally, don't miss all the presentations in our special climate-and-covid #agu20 session. They're all right here!

Our special #AGU20 session on "Climate Change & Coronavirus: Crucial Conversations" is TODAY. If you're registered for #AGU2020, join us for interactive discussions starting at 12P. If you aren't, you can still watch all the amazing keynotes anytime for FREE. Here's how (thread)
I'll be kicking off the session with "10 things climate change and coronavirus have in common" from their impact on the economy and our health to the misinformation and communication challenges they pose. Watch here:
Next up, @DrAriBernstein, pediatrician + director of @HarvardCCHANGE who speaks powerfully to the intersections between climate, covid, pollution & our health. He's my personal go-to on this topic so you don't want to miss his talk, "salvation comes cheap"

If your home is outside the 100-year flood plain, you're not required to purchase flood insurance. Well, guess what climate change is doing now ... and taxpayers are at risk for footing the bill. More: politico.com/news/2020/11/3…
In Houston, for example, it's estimated that climate change increased the rainfall that fell during Hurricane Harvey by nearly 40% ... and 80% of high water rescue calls were outside the flood zone chron.com/news/houston-t…
It's not just hurricanes ... in Houston, Harvey was the third 500-year flood event in THREE YEARS. Our definitions of flood zones are already quaintly obsolete, thanks to a changing climate. washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2…

It amazes and saddens me how many people are willing to let some of the richest multinationals in the world off the hook when it comes to carbon emissions and blame themselves + other individuals instead. "We're the consumers" say the drug addicts, "so it must be our fault." Image
Guilt can be a powerful motivator of societal change, yes ... when those who feel that guilt have the power to effect change at the scale that would mitigate that guilt. When it comes to carbon emissions, tho, the fact is that we as individuals DON'T.
That is why, as @MichaelEMann explains so clearly and lucidly here, we need system-wide change. time.com/5669071/lifest…

Royal Dutch Shell is #6 on the list of 90 companies responsible for 2/3 of greenhouse gas emissions since the dawn of the industrial era. Their cumulative emissions equal those of the country of 🇨🇦. sciencemag.org/news/2016/08/j…
Yes, everyone must do their part - starting with the biggest emitters. That means you, @Shell.
Despite what the CEO of Shell claimed in 2019, eating food that's in season, avoiding fast fashion and recycling ISN'T GOING TO CUT IT when it comes to stabilizing climate change. Those actions will make no more than the tiniest of dents. vice.com/en/article/a3x…
