Climate scientists in their own words on how they think & feel about climate change. They aren't just studying the world, they are living in it.

[MoreThanScientists @MTScientists]

"If we take the right path the Earth will work with us" As long-time #climate researcher Alan Betts sees too well the quickening pace of changes, his scientific interest has given way to very personal concern #ScienceSunday #ActOnClimate

"I wish I could just scream and let everybody know how big this is!" A first-hand report as Mike MacFerrin @CUBoulder shows us extraordinary ice melt on Greenland. #ActOnClimate #ScienceSunday

Climate change is far more than just being warmer. Prof. Abby Swann @UW describes a frightening cascade from temperature to beetles to trees to forest fires to rainfall and more. Impacts coming through many channels – not just "Oh it's hotter outside" #ScienceSunday #ActOnClimate

Young people: Your future is calling. History teaches us that you can be very powerful in bringing about change in society. We need your voices & involvement! A heartfelt message from Kerry Emanuel @MIT, one of the most respected #climate scientists. #ActOnClimate #ScienceSunday

"Young people, you need to be involved in climate change. You have the greatest stake in this" – Young scientists @MIT, @UW, @CU, @Harvard urge their generation to get involved in #climate. Listen to their heartfelt videos… https://t.co/2j8Z8I42hJ #ActOnClimate #Protest

The floodings in recent years are stark reminders: #climate change shifts the bell curve on precipitation. Kevin Trenberth: it’s a systemic effect as the atmosphere heats up–storms look similar, but on average more rain due to more moisture in the air #ScienceSunday @NCAR_Science

James Balog of @ChasingIce: No one gave us the right to destroy the world. Look for yourself – no such document, license or manifest destiny anywhere #ActOnClimate @EarthVisionInst #ScienceSunday

[MoreThanScientists @MTScientists]

We asked dozens of climate scientists. As Ana Ordóñez @UW says, she's heard stories, but has never actually met a climate scientist who doesn't believe #climate change is real. Their quick videos: https://t.co/ZeNQqTpbyp #ActOnClimate #ScienceSunday

[MoreThanScientists @MTScientists]

"Right Here, Right Now!" @NaomiOreskes @Harvard: climate change isn't a problem for the future that can be solved in the future – it's happening right now across the country and across the world! #ScienceSunday #ActOnClimate

[MoreThanScientists @MTScientists]

As both a farmer and a #climate scientist, Jennifer Phillips @BardCEP is very focused on the challenges coming for farmers: "It's going to take some radical change in the farming sector to really handle this, because it's going to be dramatic." #ScienceSunday #ActOnClimate

[MoreThanScientists @MTScientists]

Watching the earth system change so quickly – and knowing the physics and where we're headed -- a scary prospect for a young #climate scientist!! Listen… Abby Swann @UW #ActOnClimate

[MoreThanScientists @MTScientists]

In her work as a #climate researcher, Amanda Carrico @CUBoulder sees how our world is changing. This scares her, thinking about her family and people she loves. But she recognizes that the poor people around the world face the greatest threats #ScienceSunday #ActOnClimate

[MoreThanScientists @MTScientists]

Kerry Emanuel @MIT: "How finely tuned our civilization is to a #climate that's been remarkably stable for only about 7,000 yrs -- basically all of human civilization but a remarkably short time in geological history." And we're changing that. #ActOnClimate https://t.co/9QLp52AC1V

[MoreThanScientists @MTScientists]

Tony Chang @MSU is a soft-spoken scientist. But he cares enormously about the forests he studies and he sees first-hand the effects of climate change: "It's up to us to decide if we care or not." @OceanMediaInst #ActOnClimate #ScienceSunday

[MoreThanScientists @MTScientists]

What if our basic assumptions that we've built our society around are no longer true? David McGee @MIT #ActOnClimate #ScienceSunday

[MoreThanScientists @MTScientists]

People don't realize how relentless global warming will be. Kevin Trenberth: CO2 lasts 100's yrs, continuing to heat up the Earth. If we wait for everyone to say "Oh yes, we've really got a problem, we've got to do something about it", it's far too late. #ScienceSunday #climate

[MoreThanScientists @MTScientists]

Our kids and grandkids will really wish we acted sooner on #climate change, so we need to do as much as we can now -- Emily Zakem @MIT explains why in this heartfelt video… #ScienceSunday #ActOnClimate

[MoreThanScientists @MTScientists]

Make a positive ripple effect! As someone who loves the undersea world, Barbara Spiecker on the Power of One #ActOnClimate #SignLanguage

[MoreThanScientists @MTScientists]

James Balog @ChasingIce: future people will wonder "My Lord, these people knew and didn't react??" #ScienceSunday #climate @EarthVisionInst

[MoreThanScientists @MTScientists]

As our parents did, will enough good people stand up? Kerry Emanuel @MIT #GreatestGeneration #ActOnClimate #ScienceSunday
