Like 1000s of others, I saw the clip of @davidjoy.bsky.social addressing the County Commissioners, and sent it to friends saying, “This is my people that I love.” I grew up on the other side of his mountains, in TN, and for 9 years I’ve been trying to reconcile the feelings...(1/3)

How to change people's
perspectives about climate?
1) Bond over a shared value;
2) Connect that value to climate impact;
3) Inspire them to act together to protect what you value.

That's never been the actual reason they reject the science. Climate denial is 99.9% solution aversion. Every other argument (it's not real, it's not us, it's not serious, we can't fix it, it's too late) is just a palatable excuse to avoid action.
If I just explain the facts, they'll get it, right?

This is about testing cancer treatment efficacy & side effects-not hiring. Clinical trials historically failed to account for human diversity. We were starting to see some progress. This administration is going to make sure that we only know how to treat white men.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
