Key finding: Explaining how policies work and who can benefit from them is critical to foster policy support, whereas simply informing people about the impacts of climate change is not effective.

"A huge new public data set shows many communities are sinking, speeding up the effects of sea level rise. A lucky few are rising, making for wildly varying situations around the coast" @eloise_gibson & @fsorodrigues reporting for @NZStuff https://t.co/w1FbltZZSW

In the fourth and final part of @techreview’s AI Colonialism series, we arrive in Aotearoa (New Zealand), where an indigenous couple is radically reimagining what AI could be and who it should serve in their fight to revitalize the Māori language. https://t.co/RrPWpLXOKb

New Zealand's State of the Environment report dropped today and you should all read it! It's unique in its interweaving of indigenous knowledge, and in linking environmental change to people's wellbeing #envcomm https://t.co/8RFUxY6AcO

Starting today, the world has 999 days to peak emissions if we want to limit warming to 1.5C with no overshoot.

That's the big takeaway from the latest IPCC report - emissions must start to fall before 2025.

This is the best path we have left:

Should we be worried? Spoiler alert: Yes!

A thought provoking piece that's well worth a read.

A piece I helped put together on Antarctic research and climate action

📢"The time for action is quickly running out, and we need bold targets and strong commitments to urgently reduce emissions. The choices made today will have long-lasting consequences." More on COP26 here: https://t.co/XyfPJAaALA

I poured all my feelings into this piece about why this film is yet another Hollywood exploitation of Muslim pain, and why many of us never really felt comfortable with #TheyAreUs

Are we now smart enough to control nature to correct previous efforts to control nature?

We sociologists have been telling you about the possibility of this political crisis for YEARS. Yet, you refused to pay $129.95 to get around the paywall to access my article for 72 hours. That is on YOU.

@kteabam Just depends on what you want it to do. I'm mostly familiar with ones that generate randomised content using https://t.co/KWnQCq97Je. But I think there are apps that let you set up automatic retweets for certain keywords or phrases
