"Galapagos X" premieres on TVOKids this Saturday! Bravo to @bigbadboo for creating age-appropriate climate content for kids. We used tactics like humor, trusted messengers, & personal relevance to empower and engage. #KidsMedia #climatecommunication #climateeducation #scicomm

74% of parents want climate solutions in kids’ media, but only 1.4% of kids’ tv episodes include climate change content. Children’s media can step up. Here’s how: https://t.co/fYdjQSEgXV @ThisIsPlanetEd @anya1anya #climatecommunication #scicomm #kidsmedia #climatechange #STEM

I'm thrilled to have worked with @ThisIsPlanetEd on this report. It's time to mobilize #kidsmedia to help families navigate the issue of climate change. #scicomm #ClimateAction #STEMeducation #climatecommunincation

NEW REPORT: “Breaking the Silence” shows kids’ media has a massive untapped opportunity to meet parent demand, help children navigate the world, and build a more sustainable, resilient, and equitable tomorrow.

74% of parents agree kids’ media should include information about climate solutions. But a new analysis finds kids’ media is largely silent. Read our new report “Breaking the Silence”: https://t.co/YCpYwZKS0I

Communicating scientific findings to the public is undeniably important–& the future of this effort is in the hands of STEM students.

But our study shows they need more support for public engagement activities & finding a sense of belonging in this space https://t.co/qRrzrATKGZ

Instead of talking about censorship, free speech, or content moderation on @60Minutes we discussed the root of the problem: the engagement-based business model. On this special episode of #YourUndividedAttention we discuss issues with this model: https://t.co/L01bHSmwgk

I have so many questions. How will this scale? How will it taste? But still a very thought-provoking two minutes from @GeorgeMonbiot, and I say that as someone quite wary of tech-solutions. Animal agriculture is ~15% of the climate crisis and needs to end.

Impose climate tax on fossil fuel giants, media groups urge https://t.co/O60HlccRvp

One of the hardest things for new organizers to learn is that the following up with people, the constantly building relationships of accountability—the very things you want to get out of the way so that you can *really start organizing*—is the actual organizing, it’s the thing.

@PGDynes Systems thinking, that everything is connected. The ‘subject’ model of western ed is part of the problem. The quicker we humble ourselves and look to Indigenous ideas of living as a part of the planet, the sooner we will make peace with the mess we’re in.

[Helen Czerski @helenczerski]

Heat pumps are a big deal because instead of converting other energy types into heat, they *re-distribute* existing heat energy. It's a far more sensible way of doing things, but moving heat from a colder place to a hotter place is a bit weird. Here's how it all works.

[Global Goals @GlobalGoalsUN]

Where would you go if you were running out of water & drought had destroyed crops? This is the kind of choice faced by climate migrants.

Watch the story of Yonas's family.

As we approach #COP27, the UN is working with ALL to achieve net-zero.

@Jason Isn’t there AI for this @elonmusk ? The people @HumaneTech_ have great solutions for the problems your trying to address with verification

@FromTheLabBench A good indicator is the number of post graduate degree programs in sci comm today v.s ten years ago. #scicomm

@RiMiddletown Wow! I’m so proud of my community for giving students the chance to have their say on this issue. I hope this sparked meaningful conversations at home.
