Climate communication isn’t just about facts. Trust depends on clarity, sincerity, and shared values. People often trust “people like me” more than institutions—ignoring this weakens climate action and fuels misinformation.

Interesting juxtaposition between #BirthDoulas and #ClimateCommunication
"... they won a grant that would help them develop a curriculum and training known as the Doula C-Hot program, to teach doulas how to assess the climate risk of their clients and help them better prepare for future climate threats. If the pilot is successful it could serve as a blueprint for how to train doulas across the country as climate educators ..."

A lost playthrough of Daybreak is brutal.

Frustrating. Maybe because the defeat feels epistemically charged: as if climate futures themselves were lost.

I’m currently working with a colleague on this game in a chapter for an upcoming edited volume on humans, machines & climate crisis. We analyse how knowledge, imaginaries and epistemics are translated into playable mechanics — and what performing the game does to futuring.

Curious: has anyone here played Daybreak / e-Mission?
What did you notice?

The promise and limitations of using GenAI to reduce climate scepticism - Nature Climate Change

ChatGPT provides a way of teaching people about climate change. This research reveals that conversations between climate sceptics and ChatGPT reduced climate scepticism, but these effects are modest, inconsistent across studies and prone to decay over time.

"Morton stresses that fear appeals, coupled with an action plan or a solution, ARE effective, and that it is guilt, instead of fear, that paralyzes us.
Alongside evidence, appeal to people’s values."
