In this article for @thebookseller.com, I look at how our approach to discussing the #ClimateCrisis has had to evolve, as we search for the widest range of entertaining ways to convince people to act on this threat to our civilization.

The climate crisis has raised the strangest question we’ve ever faced as an industry: Why is it so hard to convince people to take an interest in a threat to our very civilisation, asks Oisín McGann 👇 #BookSky

🌍 The Patient Earth is Sick. This affects us all — but we have the cure. Climate action is our greatest opportunity for health.

We have come together as doctors from across the Nordic countries to call for urgent action.

Many studies have come to the same conclusion, for many countries: the impacts of our food choices are underestimated by most people.

A sobering end to the episode and season, noting the ongoing genocide in Gaza against our climate breakdown.

Everyone on #spéirgorm should be listening to the Climate Alarm and should be emailing and calling their TDs, ensuring they are doing more than they are now to prevent any more loss of life.
Alas, the last news round up episode of this season of The Climate Alarm Clock is upon us once more!

Before recording we didn't think we'd have much to say but it turns out we were very wrong... Tune in to give it a listen: linktr.ee/ClimateAlarmClock

Another solid episode of this excellent podcast. If there's one issue I'd take issue with it, it's that they're very down on county councils, many of which ARE taking concrete action on climate change. I've worked with a couple of them and they're very much on the front line. 1/3

As often happens when I listen to @climatealarmclock.bsky.social, I start off nodding along & by the end I'm ready to kick down some doors & be "unruly".

An excellent ep on the frank conversations needed about how systemic adaptation is needed alongside #climate mitigation

Can we adapt to climate change? and how?

In our latest Climate Questions episode, we ask the tough questions about how we can adapt and to what (food insecurity, flooding, heat, etc.).
