And if you’re interested in a deeper dive behind the science and practical guidance for having climate conversations that really move the needle, that’s what my book Saving Us is all about. No need to buy, it’s hopefully at your local library!

In my experience, 99% of people go about conversations on climate change the exact wrong way.
If that is the result you’re getting, there’s a strong probability you are in that group.

The most important thing you can do to fight climate change: talk about it
How do you talk to someone who doesn't believe in climate change? Not by rehashing the same data and facts we've been discussing for years, says climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe. In this inspiring, ...

Option 4/6: MailChimp. I admit this original version remains my fav because it allows me to colour-code the news. Green for good news, Red for not so good news (which makes it easy to skip if you prefer), and Blue for what you can do!

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.
But did you look at the judge's order?
It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts.
The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him.
