Climate Change is not a crisis of science or engineering.
The science has been clear for generations.
The solutions have been engineered.
What’s missing is human will.
Climate Change is now a crisis of communications.

This Thursday @POTUS is going to give a speech about extreme heat and climate change.
This is the PERFECT opportunity to declare a climate emergency and go after the Big Oil companies fueling this crisis! Let’s see some bold leadership!

Right-wing think tanks have written a 920 page plan, which begins day one of a Republican presidency, to dismantle most of the federal government’s work on climate.
Make no mistake: this is a battle plan. The war being waged is against our children's future.
Elections matter!
I’ll be sharing an early prototype of a climate change experience during my keynote for @svwriters free livestream at 5:30ET / 2:30 PT

Don’t just cough, organize.
We’re going to be at the White House tomorrow to demand President Biden declare a CLIMATE EMERGENCY and stop approving fossil fuel projects like the Mountain Valley Pipeline.

MASSIVE: Over 500 advertising and PR agencies have now signed the @CleanCreatives pledge to stop working with fossil fuel companies!!
“Every agency still working with fossil fuel clients is putting their reputations on the line,” @duncanwrites thedrum.com/news/2023/04/12/…
This is what we need for all our industries that emit carbon-- narrative change that raises social norms for different behaviors.

“We are shaping the future we long for and have not yet experienced. I believe that we are in an imagination battle.”

"You will never reason a man out of a position he wasn't reasoned into in the first place" @RobertCialdini shows why Climate Change facts/reporting has been counter-productive, versus emotion, culture, tribe.
