How Matthew Perry wanted to be remembered. I think we can honour his wishes today.
100% this. And championing the action already happening, to show people the way.
Fear alone is not enough to motivate climate action; if people are afraid but don't know what to do, they will do nothing. That's why it's essential to communicate both the risks of inaction (the bad news) + the potential of action (the good news) in equal proportions.

For 223 straight days, Earth's sea surface temperatures have been at all-time record warm levels.
That's 7 months and 9 days straight.
An unprecedented amount of oceanic warmth never seen before in modern history.

This week we had our largest ever extraction from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch: 11,353 kg of plastic out of the ocean for good.
As we transition to System 03, we see that increasing system size leads to bigger catches.
What a cycling show Scotland is hosting!
🌈Simply Incredible! What a first four days of the @CyclingWorlds. Scotland has put on a show with non-stop cycling drama🙌
We’ve been spoilt for choice and there’s still so much more to come!
