Climate communicators aren't backing down. Here's how they're adapting: → Localizing: pollution, heat, extreme weather → Reaching beyond the converted → Using faith, place & values-based framing → Leaning into psychological research on motivation → Connecting climate to family, economy, security

Climate coverage dropped 30%+ in late 2025 vs. 2024. Climate communicators say why: → Fear of federal retribution → Self-censorship across the field → Less editorial appetite for climate stories → Attention competing with immigration, affordability, and human rights

Seems like scientific publications are now also participating in the “race for breaking news.” It’s WAY harder to produce quality stories and research when you’re forced to have a quick turnaround. Kudos to the scientists and journalists who are still doing remarkable things in these conditions.
