We surveyed 210 of the most active climate communicators across the US and Canada. Only one pair reported both collaborating with each other AND sharing information with each other. Key results below. Read the full report here: talkingclimate.com/landscape-as...
A screenshot of the top five results from our US/Canada landscape survey of climate communicators - they tend to work alone, funding is scarce, they're helping people understand & act, they're mostly talking to insiders and they need connection.

When you say some politician "should be shot/hanged" for something, this is what you condone. Many pollies belong in front of a court of law for their misdeeds, but a few are doing their best for their country, against local recieved wisdom. Read the story. Pretend you're different.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.
