There's a #heatwave on, you've probably noticed...what you might not have noticed is Reform just voting against a law to reduce carbon emissions and pollution, which is what makes heatwaves hotter and more frequent! A popular policy that deserves to be more widely known #hotterheatwaves

Big Oil's objective is clear: take away the public's right to hold them accountable for anything, ever. “Every elected official who cares about the interests of their constituents more than those of corporate polluters should oppose this disgraceful proposal,” says @govjayinslee.bsky.social.

1/ There's a system of ocean currents in the Atlantic that shapes Europe's #climate, drives monsoons, and keeps sea levels stable along the US coast. In the last 5 years, the scientific evidence that it could collapse has shifted dramatically. Most people have no idea. 🧵

The background shows sea surface temperature trends, with a prominent blue cold patch, the "cold blob", south of Greenland, contrasting with warming (orange/red) across the rest of the ocean.

Literally every US climate scientist is posting about Trump shutting down the NCAR research lab in Boulder. Perhaps it's an even worse idea than the usual merely-very-bad ideas?

I’ve written an entire book showing how centrist economists & techno-optimists provide a permission structure for climate propaganda, creating an overlapping false consensus that we can keep using fossil-fuels and still deal w climate change anyway. Here’s a good example of that dynamic 👇

Donald J. Trump & @realDonald Trump
I (WE!) just won the War on the Climate Change Hoax. Bill Gates has finally admitted that he was completely WRONG on the issue.
It took courage to do so, and for that we are all grateful. MAGA!!!

As the US spirals out of control, let's be clear who the architects of this chaos are. A fossil fuel industry hell-bent on preserving its destructive business. Yet in the UK, their lobbyists roam the palace of Westminster with privileged access to ministers. At what point will we say enough?

"From 2019-2024, Reform received more than 90% of its funding, £2.3 million, from individuals and companies linked to polluting industries and climate science denial.

Our approach is to try and shape a narrative that starts with the scale and immediacy of the crisis, tells you why it's not being addressed, and leads you to urgent action. No truth = no action = no hope. #TellTheTruth #ClimateAction

022

Climate Science Breakthrough @climatescibreak.bsky.social · 04/07/2025

But in our experience, forced positivity can make you feel the crisis is under control, so you don't need to act. Also it's not honest. People aren't stupid, they instinctively feel it if you're bullshitting them...

Doomism is toxic. But so is hopium, the insistence on only telling positive stories for fear of freaking everyone out. We do absolutely need to point to a positive way forward (and there is one), otherwise we'd all just crawl under the duvet. #climatesolutions

UK research showed that our films are very effective in making people want to take action (87.5% more likely to take action). But, it's fair to say people are not bowled over by the options available. Some simply feel they have no political agency whatsoever (and who can blame them!)

Awareness doesn't always lead to action. If you don't give a credible account of agency, of how people can affect the dire situation you've just explained, they won't act. 🧵 In the US, it's call or go see your elected representative... #climateaction #climatescience

Public figures play a huge part in tipping social norms, particularly if they're not political. Which is why we feature comedians coming to the help of scientists...

Whatever the actual %, it's both plausible and encouraging that we don't require everyone. Nor should we try and placate every shade of opinion. No movement ever has.

US sociologist Damon Centola reckons it takes 25% of the population to tip the rest. Extinction Rebellion's early theory of change was based on Erica Chenoweth's 3.5% figure (which sounds low, but still represents a good 2-3 million people in the UK, many more than ever turned up).

Too much climate communication is hatched in focus groups, where attention is a given - people are paid to listen to your meanderings, and also to come up with some kind of coherent answer, that may or may not reflect their real-life likelihood to watch and engage.
