    Scientific uncertainty is not ignorance. We don't know everything! But we don't know nothing. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

    There's "no reason to despair, experts caution. There’s a misconception that exceeding a temperature target is akin to falling off a climate cliff. That’s not true."

    After days of dire headlines following the release of the new IPCC report, I thought I’d end the week on a more hopeful note. So I talked to scientists about how to view this kind of climate news constructively. Today’s story:

    I knew I wanted to write a book, but I struggled for four years with the structure. Did the science scare me? Confuse me? Make me sad or angry or determined or hopeful? I couldn't find a good through line. But then I realized: the science made me *feel*. That's the book.

    Tomorrow, if you live in a democracy, please call your representatives and tell them how much a livable climate matters to you. If you’re in the US, you can call the Senate at (202) 224-3121

    The IPCC report is coming out tomorrow. As a climate scientist, I’d like you to know: I don’t have hope. I have something better: certainty. We know exactly what’s causing climate change. We can absolutely 1) avoid the worst and 2) build a better world in the process.

    PSA before the IPCC report comes out: There are many possible futures. Just because some of them are really bad doesn't mean you get to give up. If/when we blow through 1.5 degrees C rise, we still don't get to give up. Because 1.5 is still better than 2. Etc.

    Thanks, Kate. Our intentions over the last 3 years were to bring a clear, transparent report of results to the widest audience. I do hope that everyone looks at the summary for policymakers and the interactive atlas (regional change!) and contacts their representatives.

    Call them, email them, get in their space in whatever way you can, because it's your space too.

    This will be replied to and quote-tweeted with so much cynicism, misanthropy, and negativity. Please remember: giving up helps no one but those invested in delay and denial. I refuse to subscribe to a lie they promote.

    I understand the frustration. I get the despair and the anxiety. No one is saying this is going to be easy. But it is possible. The biggest uncertainty by FAR in climate projections is what humans we’ll do. Let’s get to work.
