I've been a bit quiet on Mastodon lately. Too many competing threads & WhatsApp groups. Trying to use my phone less & focus. But I want to be lured back. What's interesting here? Any great threads or hashtags about #climate, #climatecomms #naturepositive #natureconnection #extremeweatherstories #climatediary ??

No surprise here:

Saudi Arabia talks a good game at climate conferences, while simultaneously developing & implementing their Oil-demand Sustainability Program (OSP).

More cars (ICE-only, please); supersonic flights; burn heavy (dirty) oil; and dozens more strategies.

"Traditional learning material like text does not meet the needs of young learners, because of the complexity of the problem.

Hopefully in calculated doses. Overload happens.

Learning about climate change with comics and text: a comparative study - Sustainability Science

Climate change education has a high priority in the current global situation. Traditional learning material like text does not meet the needs of young learners, because of the complexity of the problem. We designed learning material in the comics form merging visual storytelling with scientific geographical communication devices such as maps, charts and diagrams. In an experimental research design, we found that this comic is more effective for learning about climate change than text with the same content, particularly regarding understanding and retaining the material’s content and development of environmental concerns. We strongly recommend using more comics for the support of cognitive performance of young learners for learning about climate change where human–environmental interaction is a focal point.

Of course it shouldn't just be doom and gloom, and it's good to talk about action that can be taken to reduce emissions. But we're in a damn serious situation, and it's OK if ministers and weather(wo)men, and all of us, show that we're aware.

Who are Harbour #Energy and why should you care if they're spinning their financial results?

Harbouring a different reality — Climate Comms Group

Harbour Energy’s claim this week that its profits were “wiped out” by the Windfall Tax don’t add up - and has now made it more of a target for campaigners.

'Our brains are wired for stories. Gossip is literally good for us.' "We" should get the Kardashians to speak abt Climate.

Scary headlines and numbers aren’t as influential as human stories.
