📣New paper with @ChristelvanEck and @KHayhoe about how it’s a myth to think that climate science can be ‘neutral’.
I’m not going to say it’s ground breaking, but apparently it still needed to be said and we have ideas about what to do next.

💡NEW REPORT:
We summarise our recent research on how the public currently feel about climate change – what action they want and what they find frustrating – and offer three priorities for policy makers that will help achieve better climate action. 1/5

What rhythms/habits of communication could scientists adopt to help make their communications and values easy to understand? What about a spectrum of communication roles a scientist can reference they’re trying to communicate in (sorry, couldn’t resist - that’s my old thesis)?
This is dangerous journalism: beware of conflating opinion with prediction. Remember where scientific expertise lies if you’re going to leverage it. (And oh my daysss do something about these emissions). linkedin.com/posts/activity-…

How can you be both a scientist and a person of faith? What’s that like?
I had the pleasure of asking a bunch of researchers (with and without a faith) this in the summer, and here’s a teeny snippet of what they said 👇🏻 #InterFaithWeek #EDI #researchers #faithfullyscientific
On #InterFaithWeek, Dr @L_Messling explores what faith means to people who work in environmental science.
Over fifty researchers shared their views on how faith and science interact, and ways they may overlap, enhance, or challenge each other.

IT'S OUT!
Today, @risj_oxford and @CarbonBrief launched the Global South Climate Database, with hundreds of climate scientists and experts from Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean and the Pacific. It’s been months in the making. Here’s what it’s about.

If the world had started reducing emissions back in 2000, limiting warming to well-below 2C this century would have us skiing down a bunny slope.
Today we are facing a black diamond, and waiting another decade means going down a cliff.

This is the most important report I've seen for a long time - not just a fantastic source of evidence on what works to change behaviour but also of how far the government is from where it should be on climate action @CAST_Centre @TyndallCentre
We have published our report into #BehaviourChange for #Climate and #Environment goals. Watch for a summary of our key findings and recommendations 👀📽️
Dr Lydia Messling retweeted
Scientists from the Global South are often underrepresented in climate reporting. That's why @CarbonBrief & @risj_oxford are creating a new database with climate experts from Asia, Africa, LatAm and the Pacific #GSCD
