ICYMI: gave an illuminating and thoughtful keynote to a packed (virtual) house of students and alum this day on how climate action became a mainstream issue—and "the global quest to build a new... non-fossil fuel world."

The microclimates we experience in the Bay Area are the result of interesting interactions between our topography, geography and the weather. Layer up!

Right on.
Not only that, but I believe repeating same messages "this is serious, this is more dire than you think" over and over has led a lot of folks to simply conclude we are doomed and there is nothing they can do about it. Spreading pessimism is as dangerous as spewing CO2.

This! Deniers are in the single digits in the US, and folks who are concerned and alarmed are the majority. Convincing people climate change is real is not the goal anymore. What's needed is to give people pathways to meaningful action. twitter.com/kmftimm/status…

My mom sent me the misleading “total climate meltdown cannot be stopped” headline you may have seen. She wrote “Just when I was feeling good about the Schumer Manchin deal…” I worry a lot of people get the impression nothing we do matters at this point. It’s not true. 🧵

If you’re grieving everything we’ve lost, I feel you. The grief is valid. But we have so much left to fight for. My own experience is I feel better when my climate action in response extends beyond leaving it to the Senate while I numb myself with doomy headlines. (6/7)

Relatedly, to my mom’s point about the current Senate proposal, it’s possible to think it’s both great news and also nowhere close to sufficient on its own… per :

It’s understandable anyone paying attention would feel bleak at times. Humans are suffering. Species are disappearing. More compounding, overlapping disasters are assured. But we can feel sad about that without believing “total climate meltdown” is unstoppable. (4/7)

For one thing, the Guardian headline, which in full reads “‘Soon it will be unrecognisable’: total climate meltdown cannot be stopped, says expert” is at odds with parts of the story itself, particularly these two closing paragraphs:

Journalists, please read this.
Also anyone who struggles with the news -- there's a reason turning it off is one of the first things therapists recommends -- it's not you.

The more news we consume about mass-casualty events, the more we suffer, researchers have found.
The more political news we ingest, the more mistakes we make about each other.
