I am really excited about the MyOpenMath resources for astronomy that @astrophysically and others have created! Thanks also to Allyson Sheffield for going through the details in the breakout room this morning at #ASP2020Virtual #ASPMTG #OpenEducationalResources
Jessica Merritt Agnos - starting out the "Communicating Climate Change from an Astronomical Perspective" session with this great video she created!

Today’s outfit for panel and talk at #ASP2020Virtual.
Shared @SESEASU resources for online Astro labs: @infiniscope free Moon phases, eclipses, asteroids, plus upcoming stellar evolution.

Teach media literacy. Not all media is equally credible. We can help students learn to tell the difference.

Keep it local! Find the consequences that will directly impact your audience when teaching about climate change.
#Astro4Earth #ASP2020Virtual #ASPMTG
What we do in the next 10-12 years is CRITICAL. We can still avoid the worst consequences of climate change, action is required now.
To bring this point home, bring your examples home. Don't talk about polar bears if you live in the desert.

Travis Rector - When teaching climate change remember to discuss the causes, consequences, and (most importantly) the solutions.
#Astro4Earth #ASP2020Virtual #ASPMTG
When teaching about climate change, remember to encourage optimism and resist defeatism.
We know the cause.
We know the solution.

Astronomy topics related to climate change:
Exoplanets
Habitability
Travel time to other stars
"No Planet B"
Runaway Greenhouse on Venus
Atmosphere of other planets
Geology
Astrobiology

Astro 101 courses, in addition to teaching astronomy, help students understand "the nature of science" and develop critical thinking skills

I'm thrilled to be sharing our work on @SciSims at the #ASP2020Virtual tonight (and tomorrow afternoon). Always looking to the past for inspiration, I particularly enjoy this 1965 film of early computer aided #Physics #education materials. https://t.co/4ZxxErfw2m
Chris McCarthy (@goldsupernova) - Climate change is an important topic that should be included in Astro 101 course curriculum. In the US alone, ~300k students taken Astro 101 every year and it may be their only university science class!

Having a great time at the #ASP2020Virtual meeting! We're learning a lot and getting ready for our #Sphero in-service workshop presentation! #ASPMtg
Community solutions for addressing climate change -
Talk about it
Contact your legislatures (and vote!)
Join a climate group
Motivate a group you are currently in
#Astro4Earth #ASP2020Virtual #ASPMTG
Personal solutions for addressing climate change -
Fly Less
Eat less meat
Divest from fossil fuels
Use less energy
#Astro4Earth #ASP2020Virtual #ASPMTG
It is important to emphasize that there is not one single solution - the wind isn't always blowing so we can't ONLY rely on wind turbines for renewable energy.
#Astro4Earth #ASP2020Virtual #ASPMTG
It is important to present win-win scenarios. We can deal with climate and create a better world. For example, there are ways to both address climate change AND grow the economy.
#Astro4Earth #ASP2020Virtual #ASPMTG
Very interested in Douglas Duncan's talk on Science and Media Literacy and the resources he's sharing with us. I focus critical thinking skills as the core goal in my classes, but I think these activities will center that even more. #ASP2020Virtual

When asked "how do we fix climate change?" if your response is "I don't know, I'm not a climate scientist" then you are creating the perception that it is not fixable.

Travis Rector - How can astronomers talk about solutions for climate change?
