One way to do that is to use story-telling about science history. Van Helmont and his willow tree, Joseph Priestly and his mouse and mint experiment, Eunice Foote and her discovery of the greenhouse gas effect. That’s what I do on the River to the Sky Substack.

In the US, our current vicious VP got away with referring to climate change science as “weird science” in the VP debate, implying that it is controversial and difficult to understand. In fact, the root causes of global warming are very easy to understand and can be taught even in elementary school.

I teach global change biology, so educating about the climate crisis is my day job. But I’d argue that we don’t all have to provide fodder for doom-scrolling. Some of us write about root causes of the climate crisis. In my case, the general ignorance of the very basic science behind global warming.
