I've finally got around to curating a selection of films about the #climate crisis 🎥
There's lot of mediocre climate films out there, but for me these stand out head & shoulders above the rest 🎞️
They make excellent resources for classrooms, lecture halls, or community cinema's 🎬

It pains me to see adaptation used to undermine mitigation, but also to see it painted as a "false solution."
Adaptation is harm reduction for climate impacts that can no longer be avoided. Climate justice demands it. AND it has limits, becoming less effective and more costly as warming proceeds.

Longest thread I've read in awhile, but worthwhile if you're advocating your university transform to align with climate action. Please, share if you have more resources on climate justice in higher education to share
I was recently invited to present my thoughts on the role of universities in the #climate crisis
Several audience members asked that I share my slides, so I've decided to post them here too as an open resource
I'd love any feedback, & for you to share examples of projects & best practice.

"....authors addressing reviewers using second-person pronouns receive fewer questions, shorter responses, and more positive feedback. Further analyses suggest that this shift in the review process occurs because “you” (vs. non-“you”) usage creates a more personal and engaging conversation."
Behavioral consequences of second-person pronouns in written communications between authors and reviewers of scientific papers - Nature Communications
Second-person pronouns, such as “you” and “yours”, are common in human communication. Here, the authors show that in peer review, authors who address reviewers with second person pronouns receive fewer questions, shorter responses, and more positive feedback.
