Mastodawn

One of the things I most enjoy about Mastodon is connecting with a community that is passionate about combating the climate crisis and raising awareness about this issue that impacts us all.

Here are a few experts and organizations that I follow:

@kathhayhoe -- Chief Scientist for the global conservation organization, The Nature Conservancy

@ClimateMigration - curated posts related to climate science

@the-climate-exchange-science - community of climate scientists and experts that share news about the state of our planet

@the-brockovich-report-ErinBrockovich - The Brockovich Report by climate activist and change-maker Erin Brockovich

@climate-change-and-weather-misinformation-NewsLitProject - learn about climate misinformation from The News Literacy Project team

@climate-change-science - news about the science and growing dangers of our climate crisis, curated by Flipboard's editors

A few of those don't have any posts on their accounts.

Is downloading the Flipboard app required to view them?

Or do you plan to use nuclear weapons to revert climate change?

I know that many armies would love to "combat" the "climate crisis" and many politicians would love to scrap democracy.

@jejord @kathhayhoe @ClimateMigration @the-climate-exchange-science @the-brockovich-report-ErinBrockovich @climate-change-and-weather-misinformation-NewsLitProject @climate-change-science When it comes to "combating" the "climate crisis" this is just the beginning: https://www.wired.com/story/the-us-is-mobilizing-an-army-to-fight-the-climate-crisis/

So be careful what you are asking for! Or one day you will wake up in a dystopia where the climate is used as an excuse to abolish democracy.

The US Is Mobilizing an Army to Fight the Climate Crisis

The American Climate Corps will employ tens of thousands to prepare the country for the pain ahead. But it'll need to get much, much bigger.
