So the Trump admin wants to shut down the #MaunaLoaObservatory, home of @keelingcurve.bsky.social, which has provided continuous CO2 data since the 1950's.

Hi friends, I just published "Making Climate Change Personal: Finding Our Henry" on Medium. Exploring how @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social's approach to #TB offers lessons for #ClimateCommunication. How do we make abstract #science feel personal? What stories create action?
