@gclef Yes, somehow we have to inform people about 'urgency and agency' related to the #climatecrisis. The way to communicate it may be different for each each person.
I recognised the text from the opening of #TheClimateBook. For most people, the problem will be getting anyone to even thinking about skimming such a book. For some people, they'll read it and still not understand.
Just ordered this from #PowellsBooks (It’s a no Bezos zone in mi casa).
I’ve enjoyed @breadandcircuses running examination of #TheClimateBook by #gretathunberg. He’s doing important work disseminating knowledge in a time when so many of us are pushed so hard economically we just don’t have time to … read.
They say imitation is highest form of flattery. So, I’m going to take a page from B&C’s playbook and do the same. I’ll be providing notes, quotes, and summaries as I make my through what some are saying could prove to be one of the most important books of our age.
Stay tuned.
