Yet more evidence that getting out on the streets is effective at raising public concern about climate change, and that there is no 'backlash' from civil disobedience

Activism works

The U.S. is producing more crude oil than any country in history, which will blow us past 1.5°C of warming by the end of the decade. Fossil fuel execs are plotting to QUADRUPLE U.S. drilling in that time.

We’ll say it: these men are evil. theguardian.com/environment/20…

This dude needs to run for president.
Inject this speech into my veins.

Do climate protests have potential to foster more public support? Our new research suggests that some tactics and targets have more potential than others: conta.cc/3PtEUtj GMU Center for Climate Change Communication Mason Research Mason Institute for a Sustainable Earth Dept. of Communication, George Mason University George Mason CHSS Virginia Climate Center

We can just adapt to climate change.

Oh wait…

Individualism is a significant barrier to climate mitigation.
We evaluated eleven behavioral interventions aimed at stimulating climate change mitigation, along cultural individualism and collectivism orientations in 63 countries (N=59,440).
The more individualistic a nation,…

#FOOLPROOF is one of my favorite science books!

I assigned it to my class New York University and my students loved it! Can’t recommend it enough!

This January marked the eighth month in a row that temperatures were the hottest on record, according to Copernicus ECMWF.

The urgency for climate action has never been clearer.

It is time to act – with new national climate plans that are aligned with the 1.5°C limit.

We analyzed 11 interventions on climate change behavior in 63 countries: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
