If you're not watching the @wclivestream.bsky.social , you should check in. It's a collection of committed, passionate people making the case for a profession that shouldn't have to justify itself. A poignant testament to our times. #saveamericasforecasts @coveringclimatenow.org

I've got this on in the background and it's awesome. Right now, they're talking about heatwaves and the lobster market.

Warren Buffett Is a Climate-Wrecker Los Angeles Times climate columnist Sammy Roth scoops his business beat colleagues.

Enjoyed talking with @coveringclimatenow.org's Mark Hertsgaard about my reporting on Warren Buffett's climate legacy, and Buffett's successor Greg Abel. I shared some advice for non-environment journalists who want to tap into climate, which hopefully everyone does: www.thenation.com/article/envi...

The 89 Percent Project Between 80 and 89% of the world’s people want their governments to be doing more to address climate change. Let’s tell their stories.

It's one of the important findings of the research that underpins our www.89percent.org project. Most people in the world care about the climate crisis and want their governments to do something about it, but -- and this is critical -- they don't realize they're part of the 89 percent.

“[A] surge of litigation that nevertheless has remained a low media priority, especially at the local level. ‘These cases collectively represent more than 1 in 4 people living in the United States,‘ reports @climateintegrity.org.”

“One of the most powerful forms of climate communication is just telling people that a majority of other people think climate change is happening, human-caused, a serious problem and a priority for action,” said Prof Anthony Leiserowitz at @yaleclimatecomm.bsky.social in the US. #The89Percent

89 Percent Project Spotlights the ‘Silent Climate Majority’ A global network of more than 500 news organizations from 60 countries is launching the "89 Percent Project," a year-long, collaborative effort to shine a light on the “silent global majority” who wan...

A major new project led by 500+ media outlets from 60 countries aims to amplify the “silent climate majority”—the 80–89% who want urgent climate action but don’t realize they’re not alone. Energy Mix Productions is proud to take part. More on #The89Percent project:

So while it’s important that journalists write about the problems causing the climate crisis, it’s also important to “put a spotlight on the millions of people from every walk of life who are rolling up their sleeves and already taking action,” says Anthony Leiserowitz.

‘An outlier’: why does the US rank low on demands for climate action? Support for climate action is growing in the US, but partisan divides and fossil fuel interests hold sway

"Outlier" - 74% in the US want more climate action. Yet that is significantly lower than most other countries

Why? Partisan divides and fossil fuel interests hold sway

Most of the world wants stronger climate action

What a compelling, ambitious project from @afpnews.bsky.social. Grateful to @ivancouronne.bsky.social and the entire newsroom for their commitment to the climate story and their support
of #The89Percent

Activate climate’s ‘silent majority’ to supercharge action, experts say Making concerned people aware their views are far from alone could unlock the change so urgently needed

This is essential reading, too, for all the journalists who begin their questions to me with the confident but untrue assertion that climate action is unpopular! 🤦‍♀️

A silent majority of the world’s people wants stronger climate action. It’s time to wake up | Mark Hertsgaard and Kyle Pope About 89% of the public want their governments to do more to tackle the climate crisis – but don’t know they’re the majority

"What would it mean if this silent climate majority woke up – if its members came to understand just how many people, both in distant lands and in their own communities, think and feel like they do?

How might this majority’s actions – as citizens, as consumers, as voters – change?"

Attacks on climate and climate orgs are rebutted by the fact that most people in the world care about the climate crisis and want their governments to address it. #The89Percent www.89percent.org www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Thanks to @dpcarrington.bsky.social and @theguardian.com for their big push on the #The89Percent starting today www.89percent.org

‘Spiral of silence’: climate action is very popular, so why don’t people realise it? Researchers find 89% of people around the world want more to be done, but mistakenly assume their peers do not

The ‘spiral of silence’ blocking climate action and how to end it

- Globally, people are hugely supportive of climate action but wrongly believe their fellow citizens are not - revealing the truth could spark a social tipping point
