If you're a climate scientist feeling emotions about the state of the climate, please DM me!

The KEY question, I'm asked by students when I guest lecture about the #ClimateCrisis is 'but what can we do?'
So I recently rewrote my materials to try & tackle that question head on. Feel free to adapt them.
Buckle up - here's a LONG thread🧵about how we can fight back!

Thank you to Sophie Howe @futuregencymru for a brilliant lecture this morning @DCUClimate.
