Here's what everyone needs to know* about climate change: 🌍 It's real 👥 It's human-caused ⚠️ It's serious 💡 With immediate action, it's solvable ⌛ Later is too late * social science shows these msgs increase acceptance of the issue, awareness of the risk and, most importantly, willingness to act.

Most people know what needs to be done; unfortunately those with the power to initiate the changes aren't fucking interested. To #hellinahandcart 😳

Agree with all but "With immediate action, it's solvable" I think we're pretty far past that point tbh but I hope I'm wrong.

Stoping climate change isn’t profitable for big businesses so they’re not gonna do it unless we force them too. Other peoples’ greed is wrecking both society and the planet. But what else is new? 🫤

End the empire and it's 900 bases spanning the globe, end war, expropriate most of the wealth from the top and redistribute it to the bottom. Anti-war/Imperialism action(the US military is the largest single polluter), Eat the rich(they use up much more resources than any other single person).

Holy hot dang, you get a LOT of replies claiming there's nothing we can do. I see your responses and your work, thank you.

I see you have solid research to back this up, but "later is too late" interests me. A considerable amount of doomerism I see seems to be the result of people treating the 1.5C goal as a cliff - less and we're okay, beyond that, give up. Does "too late" not feed into that?

I loved your TEDtalk all about this but wanted to ask: do you think such a "soft" message will get us there fast enough?

And as an individual your ability to mitigate the effects of climate change is negligible because the changes required are systemic in nature.
