If we allow anyone to be punished or disappeared by the government for their speech, there will be nothing to stop it happening to any of us.

I had the opportunity to share a few thoughts in this video about sea level rise from Deutsche Welle's excellent Planet A series on YouTube.

Some pics from my most recent trip to Iceland and Greenland to teach climate change and sea level rise to political, business, and scientific leaders.

Report: Billionaires Now Making Up To $100 Million a Day
YouTube video by BreakThrough News Report: Billionaires Now Making Up To $100 Million a Day

Billionaires and corporations are the enemy. The idea of keeping the lower classes divided so they donโ€™t unite against the ruling elite has been a fundamental strategy of power throughout recorded history. STOP LETTING IT WORK. We need to unite against them, not each other.

When I hear "drill baby drill", all I hear is: "I don't understand climate change, I don't care about wildlife or ecosystems, it's okay with me if whales die, I'm totally cool with destroying the habitat of deer, bears, wolves, birds, butterflies, and bees."

Congrats to @elianebrum.sumauma.com . Completely agree with her sentiments. I've been trying to get this idea through for a long time.

Imagine if we truly came to know this ourselves. Imagine if we came to understand ourselves, not as apart from nature observing it, but a part of nature, in fact, nature ourselves together with the rest of the living biome. Imagine the transformation- the awe, the coherence, and even the joy.

Hi Joanne. I'd like to be added to your starter pack. I work for the Rising Seas Institute. I've been studying and educating about sea level rise for over a decade. Thank you for making this list!

Completely agree. And, unfortunately, it seems by design.

Yes, I've found explaining scientific uncertainty and the process of science to be huge challenges.

It's very difficult to say, honestly. The systems are so complex that we don't know for sure what all the impacts will be. I can say for sure that no area will be completely insulated.

Thank you, I was hoping for some insight from the social sciences. Any advice on how to break through while acknowledging the economic and political struggles? I'd hate for people to be blindsided when situations worsen, particularly those already struggling.
