Take a moment to consider the 250 million people who have been forcibly displaced by climate disasters over the past 10 years…70,000 per day, on average.

If you aren’t one of these unfortunate people, I invite you to consider what you can do to help one or more of them. They need us.

Air pollution is the leading cause of premature death and ill health in the world today, yet Trump (America’s Make Pollution Great Again president) is threatening countries that plan to reduce it. This is, quite literally, sickening.

The benefits of climate solutions—perhaps especially switching to clean energy—are many and profound. New research suggests we should redouble efforts to communicate those benefits. Sounds right to me.

Indeed! To paraphrase the always wonderful @katharinehayhoe.com: Speak up and speak out. Let people know how much you care. And to put a Billy Joel spin on it: Tell them about. Tell them everything you feel.

That’s how we break the climate silence (and dismantle the pluralistic ignorance).
Folks, if you care about climate change and the threat it poses to human life, you gotta make some *noise* about it.
