[Jake Barton @Jake_Barton]

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.

On Tuesday, @coal_and_ice opened at Asia Society in New York! We spoke to @orvilleschell, @gideonmendel, @nicholesobecki, @Jake_Barton, and Song Chao about their contributions to COAL + ICE, hopes for its run, and what they believe makes it special. https://t.co/hNxZMl8TKF

@Vuthric I designed the 9/11 Museum and others. Now I'm working on an immersive climate experience: you'll part the flood waters of the future, catalyzing action, and saving our future. Any chance you can advise on the water effects? I hear you are the best!

[Jake Barton @Jake_Barton]

@AndrasKetzer Hi Andras, would you consider doing a quick consult for a high profile climate change project? You can see the concept here, starting at ~40:30, would be grateful for a few hours of your time to work with our developers! https://t.co/Y5xmYI7zTq

[Jamie Henn @jamieclimate]

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!

@DoctorVive So scary, thanks for highlighting! It also means kicking IRA adoption into high gear immediately matters!

[Dr. Genevieve Guenther (she/they) 🪬 @DoctorVive]

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!

[Jake Barton @Jake_Barton]

@nuttynupur Generous of you to write, and good point! We need to balance the plausible bad future, with the solutions-producing good future!

[Jake Barton @Jake_Barton]

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

@ayahbdeir @phatanateacha @moleitau I love this! Those were good days, still techno optimist, and amazing to have shared that with you all!

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.

2:00pm, Pennsylvania Avenue, be there. https://t.co/VHC7A0m6t0

[Jamie Henn @jamieclimate]

MASSIVE: Over 500 advertising and PR agencies have now signed the @CleanCreatives pledge to stop working with fossil fuel companies!!

This is what we need for all our industries that emit carbon-- narrative change that raises social norms for different behaviors.
