Imagine que uma pessoa amada morra por ingestão de metanol ou fique cega, e você ainda tendo que lidar com o governador do estado ponderando que as empresas "sofrem muito com isso" e dizendo que vai se preocupar é quando começarem a falsificar Coca-Cola.

Yale researchers didn't stop there. They also identified what people most need to know to catalyze action and support climate policy; and it's not about global temps, ice sheets, or ocean currents.

What people most need to know about climate change is that (1) others care, and (2) there is hope.

Understanding six “key truths” about climate change predicts policy support, discussion, and political advocacy

Social norms and collective efficacy are strong predictors

Sharks & rays are vanishing. Whale sharks, oceanic whitetips, manta & devil rays face steep declines.

This Nov at CITES CoP20, governments will vote on giving them Appendix I protections - the strongest safeguard possible.

Two of the most common climate misconceptions I see, even among knowledgeable folks, are that (1) most people aren't worried about climate change, and (2) if they were, they'd act.

Not true! Data show (1) most people are worried, but (2) they won’t act if they don’t know what to do-and most don’t.

A map of the world showing how levels of worry in most countries are greater than 70%. Source: Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, International Public Opinion on Climate Change, 2023.

“It is unambiguous and it is clear climate change is playing a role. These aren’t just bigger fires, they’re fires occurring under increasingly extreme weather conditions that make them unstoppable.”

Wildfires are getting deadlier and costing more. Experts warn they’re becoming unstoppable

Of 200 fires in the past 44 years, half of the fires that cost US$1bn or more were in the last decade
