The number 1 indicator of climate beliefs? | Dan Sherrard-Smith | 12 comments

The number 1 indicator of climate beliefs? Political allegiance. Not science. Not evidence. Politics. That's the case in the USA. It's a fact highlighted by Katharine Hayhoe The world-renowned climate scientist. Who teaches us so much about communication. Every week I receive snarky comments. Climate skeptics rubbishing climate reality. My first instinct? Snap back, angrily! But Katharine shows a better way. Don't dig a trench, build a bridge πŸŒ‰ There's no time to entrench division. As Katharine put it recently: "A hurricane does not knock on your door... And ask you who you voted for... Before it destroys your home." 🀷 5 key lessons from Katharine: 1️⃣ Start with values. What's important to them? Find common ground. 2️⃣ Don't bombard people with facts. It only increases polarisation 3️⃣ Avoid shaming people. Don't go out to make others feel worse 4️⃣ Fear isn't effective in the long-term. Instead: rational hope and a compelling vision 5️⃣ Ultimately, have the conversation. There's almost always a chance for engagement. The truth is, building an impact business isn't just about solving technical problems. It's about solving human ones too. As the late Jo Cox MP put it: "We will always have more in common than what divides us." If we can focus on our commonalities, The harder conversations start to become easier. Katharine's book 'Saving Us' is widely recognised as one of the most important climate books ever written. Not because of the science. But because it recognises that creating change requires connecting with people first. If you're building something that matters, Her book could transform how you communicate your mission. ♻️ Repost this to help your network πŸ‘‰ Follow Dan Sherrard-Smith for more | 12 comments on LinkedIn

It's fine for developers to champion their own protocol and software, obviously you should be. But for the rest of us, it's much better to just be an advocate of #BringDownTheWalls & #BuildBridges / #BuildBridgesNotWalls. It's fine to have favourites, but try to avoid #ProtocolWars / #NetworkWars.
