If talking about climate change "politicizes" the weather, so be it. The politics of climate denial and delay affected this summer’s weather, and our current decisions will shape our planet for thousands of years.

BREAKING: the White Cliffs of Dover have been illuminated with the UK 'warming stripes' for #ShowYourStripes day!

Let's go beyond hoping that extreme weather "wakes people up" to #climatechange – if you're experiencing smoke right now, speak with a family member/friend about it (and check that they are staying safe)
Then add your discussion to our climate chats map: talkclimatechange.org

BREAKING: @MWCOG has issued a CODE PURPLE for DC area. "The D.C. region has not previously recorded a Code Purple day for fine particle pollution." Code purple means air is unhealthy for all people. Limit time outside and/or wear mask.

Helpful new research note on climate conversations from @YaleClimateComm @Mason4C 👇 Super important that we better understand who engages in climate discussions – and how to empower more people to do so.
NEW: In our latest study, we find that Americans who think their family and friends care about global warming are more likely to discuss it with them. Those who frequently hear about it from others are more likely to discuss the issue, too. Read more: climatecommunication.yale.ed…

Many people don’t talk about climate change because they don't encounter others talking about it…
But #ClimateChats can break that silence and get people engaged, as well as help them process our changing world.
