@GretaThunberg

Why this effect? Not because @GretaThunberg ate less meat or encouraged her family not to fly: if that's all she'd done, we'd never know her name. No, it's because she did one simple but incredibly powerful thing we can all emulate: she raised her voice to advocate for change.

Every year, I add 2 new low-carbon habits to my life. But every DAY, I do the most impt thing anyone can to do change the system we live in: I TALK about climate change. Not the science details, but why it matters and how, working together, we can fix it. ted.com/talks/katharin…

Individual's power to alter the world is splashed across human history; and social science is starting to understand how we do this. A tsunami of change begins by changing social norms & accumulating a groundswell of (at first) nearly invisible support. sciencealert.com/change-don-t-h…

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!

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…
