HOW FUCKED ARE WE?! IPCC summary with Clare Farrell & Charlie Gardner

It’s hard to care about climate change
Bringing up climate change is one tried and true way to ruin a dinner party — and leave people feeling helpless and apathetic. But it doesn't have to be that way, if we change how we communicate. So let's talk, about how we talk, about climate change. Source.
The Suburbs Are Bleeding America Dry | Climate Town (feat. Not Just Bikes)
Join the Climate Town Discord. Since there’s not a great/accessible database of everyone’s local zoning meetings (as far as we could find), we think it would be pretty slick to harness our community’s collective power to make it easier to get this information. We just created a channel called “#zoning” (https://discord.gg/cqRpTpeAH2), where you can drop... Continue Reading →

A clear... Continue Reading →
The strong winds of climate change have failed to move the opinions of many Americans

Study confirms fear that intense ocean acidification portends ecological catastrophe: ‘We have been warned’

Small-shelled marine organisms survived the meteorite that struck the Earth and wiped out the dinosaurs, according to researchers at the GFZ geosciences... Continue Reading →
