TV weather forecasters (led by Jeff Beraradelli & Climate Central) organised the first event to use the warming stripes widely (June 21st 2018). Laura Tobin used them in the UK.
And, a Tesla in Minnesota was a striking early example of how the graphic can be used creatively to spark conversations.

The graphics were used at rock concerts (Enter Shikari), sports teams (Reading FC) and at London Fashion Week (Lucy Tammam).
Each time they have reached a different audience who would not normally talk about climate change.

Man, Disney really going all out on the marketing for that live action Lilo and Stitch
Multiple reports that another meteor had comedown over eastern Australia.
Some footage from Higgins Storm Chasing — looks like it’s another daymaker!
Happened around 7:30pm, and reports of sonic booms, structural shaking just north of the NSW-QLD border.

We cannot forget: the Feb 18 EO likewise grants Trump the exclusive ability to rule on the findings of the EPA and Endangered Species Committee. Not only can he demand increased logging, he can overrule ALL findings and protections.

This is a full-on attack of our nation's forests. This is NOT OK. We can re-hire lost jobs. We can re-write laws. We can re-allocate funds. But a forest, once lost, you and I will never see again.

This is uncomfortably like the creation of detention camps for Japanese Americans in WWII. We should not need this much infrastructure if the plans are just deportation.
The Trump administration is developing plans to build immigration detention facilities on bases nationwide, a step that could significantly expand the military's role in immigration enforcement.
