Humanist distraught at Humanity's failure as custodian of our living world, dying in front of our eyes. Volunteer Manager distraught at the abject dereliction of duty by the UK Gov in every civic sense.

I woke up really disturbed by the vivid nightmare I had.

The flooding was so so real, rapid and everywhere.
People were screaming, scrambling and scared.
I helped as much as I could but there was complete devastation.
Helpless.

I think in the near future, it will be especially important to have effective science communicators. As someone who has been doing this for a while, I thought it might be useful to explain my major principles for science communication that I use in my own work 🧵:

Ask yourself honestly.

Never forget what is being done to masses of Palestinian civilians, day after day.

Speaking of "climate ambition," it's not ambitious to protect a livable planet. It should be a bare bones minimum standard of a functioning culture/governance system/economic system.

What are we to do? #ClimateEmergency

We can't carry on with business as usual as it is the main driver of the planets destruction.
We can't not work as we need to survive.

Alternatives?

The climate is a complex system that has always changed, although it had been remarkably stable over the past 10k years. Civilizations in the past have frequently collapsed, primarily as a result of crop failures when climate change & ecological degradation were severe enough.
