I see the media are continuing the age-old trend of keeping it pale, male, stale in interivews for coverage on climate change, heat waves, storms, etc. How about interviewing a wider array of experts & those actually from the Global South experiencing climate breakdown first-hand?

Here’s a database to help move past this colonial practice to solicit expertise from a wide array of experts:

Global South Climate Database

The Global South Climate Database is a publicly available, searchable database of scientists and experts in the fields of climate science, climate policy and energy. The goal of the project, set up by Carbon Brief with the support of the Reuters Institute's Oxford Climate Journalism Network, is to ensure that journalists from all over the world can contact scientists from Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Pacific.

In other words, the media’s climate experts list should do better than this paint sample.

@farhanasultana

How about a discussion about having experienced the hottest global average day in the past 45 MILLION days?

@farhanasultana Here in Aotearoa New Zealand many locations have already had their average annual rainfall. We've had six months of extreme weather with damage costs that exceed the Christchurch earthquake in 2012.
Temperature is only one aspect of our changing climate
