Excited to share our new book! Rebel groups can play key roles in addressing environmental and climate related challenges. w/ @dfjung.bsky.social @cloyle.bsky.social @lisgilmore.bsky.social @reyhuang.bsky.social & Leo Gentil Fernandes

The increasingly broad application of the phrase "tipping point" can conceal the complexity of processes that can drive rapid change in the climate.

"Climate change will surprise us, but so-called 'tipping points' may lead us astray," by @bobkopp.net, @lisgilmore.bsky.social, and Rachael Shwom.

🔓: With federal US #climatepolicy in flux, state #taxincentives could play a bigger role. Yet, they remain limited in scope & focused on #energy. To drive real impact, they must be better integrated into broader fiscal policy, find @lisgilmore.bsky.social @tstclair.bsky.social @carleton.ca @nyu.edu

"The response to climate change requires a “whole-of-society” approach... For such a collaboration to be effective, everyone must have free access to a robust body of climate research that can inform sound decision-making."
-PLOS Climate Section Editor Desiree Rose

And that's it! The whole magazine issue is here. You should subscribe to the @thebulletin.org so you can read it all now, but I'll reshare these articles as they become freely available to all, and hope to continue the convo with future web articles

While the US administration may not believe in climate change, armed rebel groups do! We show that rebels are engaging in climate governance with implications for local to international climate action. @kgcunnin.bsky.social @cloyle.bsky.social @reyhuang.bsky.social @daniellejung @leonardogentil

Update: the NIST report, from *twenty* years ago, was called "Factors Affecting U.S. Production Decisions: Why are There No Volume Lithium-Ion Battery Manufacturers in the United States?" and it's no longer available www.greencarcongress.com/2005/09/why_...

Update 2: my back hurts

This is a well written and convincing critique of the 'tipping point' framing by @bobkopp.net, @lisgilmore.bsky.social, et al, and I recommend you read it (if you haven't)

Tipping point framings can lead to political paralysis. This video highlights that it may also favour overly technocratic responses.

Understanding abrupt changes in the climate system matters. Negotiation and participatory democracy for just and equitable responses matters as much, if not more.

In yesterday's Nature Briefing, we considered a Perspective by @lisgilmore.bsky.social @bobkopp.net and colleagues about the use of the climate ‘tipping point’ framing. An interesting read! #ScienceSky 🧪 us17.campaign-archive.com?u=2c6057c528...

In a new interdisciplinary Nature Climate Change Perspective paper, led by me, @lisgilmore and Rachael Shwom, we offer a critical perspective on #climate and social “tipping points.” 🎁: rdcu.be/d2gBC 🧵
