It’s the end of an era 💔
TikTok is what got me into climate communication. It’s also what helped me quit my government job five years ago to pursue this full-time.
Fair warning that you might see less of my work because I had already lost most of my income prior to getting censored on TikTok.

The British press were certain climate change wasn't real, now they are very clear it costs too much and are making the most ridiculous claims about cost (fed by think tanks). I think the words of Carl Sagan are very relevant here...
