bridgetmckI'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 ??
Here's a new #ExtremeWeatherStories article by our #ClimateMuseumUK associate Ann Borda, based in Canada, about the wildfire situation there. #ClimateDiary https://medium.com/extreme-weather-stories/living-with-wildfires-inwards-and-outwards-990180cf17c8
I'm struggling to process this #GlobalHeatStorm I want to usefully interpret & respond but just find it too desperate. I have written this non-emotional piece for #ExtremeWeatherStories but am personally feeling quite sad & future-anxious. https://medium.com/extreme-weather-stories/global-heat-storm-1cab7c916bc4 I'm recording my emotion here for #ClimateDiary
Pauline von Hellermann@ClimateTessa 🙏🏼 thank you for sharing this beautiful blog here - it captures so much. Also really relevant for a module i am currently teaching on #Personhood - i will add this to the last week, on personhood and Anthropocene/#ClimateEmergeegency; to explore what it means to (potentially) lose all your possessions and memories. Also @bridgetmck maybe also good for your #ExtremeWeatherStories if not already part of it?
@bridgetmck thank you SO much Bridget! Really really nice to see it grounded here so quickly. I hope #ClimateDiaries can become a good, meaningful extension of the #ExtremeWeatherStories project
I've done a blogpost on our #ExtremeWeatherStories publication about the #ClimateDiary hashtag project initiated by @pvonhellermannn https://medium.com/extreme-weather-stories/climate-diary-5511670a847c
Sharing again my story of my great grandfather who predicted the 1953 Great Flood & tried to warn authorities. It asks what we have learned and how prepared are we for rising sea levels and floods? The anniversary is tomorrow, and I'll be making a trip to see some memorial exhibitions at Sea Palling and Gorleston. #ExtremeWeatherStories https://medium.com/extreme-weather-stories/70-years-have-we-learned-from-the-great-flood-8f1af24ff296

In the last days of January 1953, 70 years ago, my great grandfather Herbert Abbs, spent hours with his binoculars raised in his lookout tower at Aldeburgh. The lookout had to be a high tower because…
I've written this, asking what have we learned from the #GreatFlood in #1953 on its 70 year anniversary? How can coastal planning account for climate impacts? And what's the role for heritage? It includes an account of my great grandfather, a coastguard who played a key part in the flood story. #ExtremeWeatherStories https://medium.com/extreme-weather-stories/70-years-have-we-learned-from-the-great-flood-8f1af24ff296

@pvonhellermannn @clockwooork Yes, good idea. We do already have #ExtremeWeatherStories with this intention albeit with a focus on capturing experience of impacts rather than causes & solutions. I went to Sussex myself and know the MOA from then (in the 80s).
@pvonhellermannn This is in part a motivation for Climate Museum UK. It’s intended to capture & support people’s responses to the Earth crisis. For example, our #ExtremeWeatherStories project https://link.medium.com/6CHRNMXt7ub
