I’m a scientist who studies how climate change impacts our lives and the places we love.

Most of us are worried, but many feel stuck on what to do. If that's the way you feel, check out this list below!

We can’t fix it alone, but I know we can together. 💚
A list of the most effective ways an individual can catalyze change at the scale we need to effectively tackle climate change, based on social science.

For all the overthinkers and perfectionists out there, we're launching Drafts.
A demonstration of where you can find the drafts feature in the top right corner of the post composer on Bluesky.

I'm going to do a thread of all the references and context behind Bad Bunny's performance and what it means for Puerto Ricans to see this on the biggest stage.

The opening title screen is a street mural in Puerto Rico that comes to life with footballs as coconuts.

Follow along!
A vibrant, wide-angle photo of a colorful outdoor mural promoting the "Super Bowl LX Apple Music Halftime Show." The mural is painted on a long blue wall in a sunlit, tropical setting with real palm trees and bright pink bougainvillea flowers cascading over the top. The artwork features a playful, surreal collage of cultural and football-themed elements: Central Text: The Apple Music logo in bold yellow and red 3D lettering is flanked by "SUPER BOWL LX" above and "HALFTIME SHOW" below. Iconic Imagery: Large illustrations of a golden trumpet, pink sunglasses, maracas, dominoes, and a cup of coffee with a musical note in the foam. Football Elements: Brown footballs are depicted growing on palm trees like coconuts and resting on the ground. Foreground: A young girl in a yellow dress walks along the sidewalk in front of the mural, passing a small goalpost illustration where a green parrot is perched. The overall aesthetic is warm, festive, and celebrates a fusion of Latin-inspired culture and American football.

There are 6 flavours of denial and this is the last one.

You've convinced yourself your opinions are fact because you want an excuse to give up.

While I am sorry, you're wrong. So: get off social media, stop discouraging others, & take up an activity that at least brings some good to the world.

Bad Bunny has a consulting historian. news.wisc.edu/pop-star-bad...
Pop star Bad Bunny needed a Puerto Rican history scholar. UW–Madison had just the one.
Bad Bunny collaborated with UW–Madison history professor Jorell Meléndez-Badillo on Puerto Rican narratives that accompany the new album “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.”

nothing like reading an essay on climate change that features multiple imaginary animals and superheroes 🤣

I'll be talking about why information alone rarely motivates climate engagement; how identity, trust, and social norms shape the interpretation of climate evidence; and what we know about evidence-based approaches to communicating climate risks that do (and don't) catalyze action.

oooh what a great combo!

I have tried the trojan horse approach myself. It has caught a few already, and provides incontrovertible evidence. www.reddit.com/r/Professors...

I will eventually shut up about this but Bad Bunny’s use of the power lines is an outstanding example of how to communicate about climate and energy issues. Not about who is the smartest nerd in the room and spewing numbers but about people’s actual lives. Genius.

With the caveat that I am not the world's biggest halftime show connoisseur, I have to say this one is KILLING IT. Culture and history, classical guitar and violin, kiddies and seniors, wedding cake and so much colour! I would pay to see this as a musical, seriously. Calling Lin-Manuel Miranda.

As a climate scientist I am quite sure I could use this reply at least two dozen times per week.
A screenshot of what looks like a tweet but I got it off Instagram saying, “don’t let my knowledge get in the way of your confidence.”

If there were Olympic medals for how much misinfo and conspiracy you could shoehorn into one social media post, this commenter would be a strong contender!

I count 11, how many can you find?

(On FB, I have preset words that, if used, automatically hide the comment. This definitely qualified!)
