22 feet (almost 7m). 2,000 years. One scarf. 99% blue, then the last little bit turns red. That's climate change, knitted, based on @edhawkins.org climate stripes. climateactually.com for the full story. #ClimateAction #Knitting #ClimateActually

"The lake doesn't freeze anymore." Emily grew up ice skating on it every winter. Now it barely freezes at all. What's changed where you grew up? #ClimateChange #ClimateAction

In 2017, a group of knitters got together over a shared worry: government climate data might disappear 🧶 Nine years later, it's a global movement, local temperature records turned into hand-knit tapestries. New episode: how a knitting circle became a climate movement. climateactually.com

Can a business grow and cut emissions at the same time? Jackson Family Wines' Caroline Merrell on what the company is looking at right now. New Climate Actually clip 🎧 #ClimateAction #ClimateActually

On 29 September we start a new series of online press briefings — and for the first time, they're in English. Bring your questions for @amywestervelt.bsky.social, WMO Secretary-General Celeste Saulo, climate diplomat @jochenflasbarth.bsky.social and @kimberlynicholas.bsky.social (Lund University). 🎙️

Flying to see family but dreading the emissions? The Man in Seat 61 maps out train routes all over the world. In this clip, Ed and I look to see if we can reduce the emissions of an upcoming trip. Full ep: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTqU...

Wine = climate change you can taste. 🍷 In this week's Climate Actually, Jackson Family Wines' Caroline Merrell spoke about how heat domes, drought & fire are already reshaping how they can farm. Has climate change already shown up in something you love: food, a hobby, a place?

Frequent flyer miles are a clever incentive. I used to chase them too, until I realized the "reward" was just more climate pollution. I cut my flying 90% & retired my card in 2012. It now lives in a museum called Carbon Ruins, which looks back on past habits. Full episode here: youtu.be/aTqUgEdgvDg

Setting @sciencebasedtargets.org is the #1 professional climate action in SHIFT. New #ClimateActually out today: I talk to Caroline Merrell of Jackson Family Wines about what it looks like for them, such as lighter wine bottles, solar, and the challenges of reducing emissions as a growing business.

Ed's friends want to fly across an ocean for a 40th birthday trip. He wants the same adventure w/ way less flying. He's the only one pushing for it. You can start flying less by reframing "give up the trip or not" w/ what you want from it, then look for somewhere closer. Full ep youtu.be/aTqUgEdgvDg

Three steps to vote for climate: 1. register and plan to vote; 2. identify the climate leaders on your ballot (the League of Conservation Voters scores candidates 1 to 100), then 3. help expand the vote by getting others registered & to the polls too. Full #ClimateActually ep: youtu.be/VnwCX6fqw7A

LOVE this!

You recycle. Good. But voting for a pro-climate candidate is 162x more effective, per a Canadian study. Kate's writing 200 postcards to get lapsed voters back to the polls. New Climate Actually episode is out. @environmentalvoter.bsky.social 🗳️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnwC...

I’m a huge fan of @carbonbrief.org’s work, thrilled they recommend #ClimateActually! 🎧

Did you know your bank might be funding fossil fuels? 🏦 I recently spoke to Matt, who didn't, until a friend mentioned it. In #ClimateActually, we cover how to check (bank.green), and how to make the switch to a fossil-free bank easy. Subscribe and watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=irux...

How to check if your bank is a climate friendly bank: search it at bsky.app/profile/bank.... We watched Matt do it live in this episode. His new bank got a 😍! New episode of #ClimateActually 🎧 youtu.be/iruxIkB37lM

Matt found out his bank has spent $77.8 billion on fossil fuel financing since 2021. In this episode of #ClimateActually, I helped Matt follow the 3 steps to bank fossil-free: 1. Check if your bank funds fossil fuels 2. Switch if it does 3. Tell your old bank why you left. youtu.be/iruxIkB37lM

Climate action! But how? 🤔 @kimberlynicholas.bsky.social answers this in her new podcast Climate ACTually, featuring people who went from "motivated to take action" to actually doing so using the jointheshift.earth framework. 🔗 www.youtube.com/@ClimateActu... Let us know what you think! 👇

1/ The sustainability transition doesn’t just advance from the top down and the bottom up – change also happens in the middle, and that’s where most of us can make a real difference Quick thread on a great new paper showing how *everyone* has an influential role to play 🧵

🔥 Individual or system change?🔥 This debate has been at the center of much of my social media engagement for years (causing a fair bit of frustration). Yet I have never published research directly addressing it. Until now. 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Back in 2012 we did a figure comparing historical emissions to previous generations of emission scenarios. rdcu.be/brDGx Surprisingly, the figure is still doing the rounds. We update it every year, with many interesting changes primarily due to revisions in land-use change emissions. 1/
