Climate impacts are not partisan. And caring about our homes, health, families, and futures shouldn’t be either. @fisherdanar.bsky.social & I look at what climate communicators can teach us about connecting climate change to the things people already care about most. Read more: bit.ly/4hHM9MI

We Need to Stop Talking Like Climate Change Is Partisan
Climate change should be seen as a shared challenge to solve together, not a political debate, write Katharine Hayhoe and Dana R. Fisher.

1/ "Every fraction of a degree of warming matters." True, and a dangerous platitude. It quietly suggests warming is a smooth dial, where each tenth of a degree costs about the same as the last. It doesn't. The later ones cost far more. Here's why. 🧵

Thank you! At an event last night I said "If the word hope doesn't work for you try, 'Never fucking surrender.'" The word hope seems too sunny to a lot of people, but the heart of it as I'm interested in it is: we make the future in the present, if we show up, and that never surrender part.

People’s Panel for Digital ID
The Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister, Darren Jones, has announced the first nationwide citizens’ assembly to have been commissioned by the UK government. Called the ‘People’s Panel for Digital ID’, it will form part of a consultation into plans for introducing a digital ID system.

Those plans were set out in a green paper published in March. The government said it ‘intends to introduce a national digital ID’ that will satisfy three ‘core principles’: that the system is ‘useful’, ‘inclusive’, and ‘trusted’. It added that the purpose of the consultation was to seek feedback on ‘how to build a system that is useful for everyone’.

The consultation began on 10 March with an eight-week ‘open engagement’ process. This comprises an online survey and support for ‘local conversations and events across the UK’, including ‘roadshows, roundtables, as well as resources to help communities run their own discussions in ways that work for them’.

The People’s Panel will be convened in May, after the initial consultation has ended, and will itself conclude by 21 June. It will be made up of ‘a broadly representative group of 100–120...
