@MTScientists

Climate scientists in their own words on how they think & feel about climate change. They aren't just studying the world, they are living in it.

"If we take the right path the Earth will work with us" As long-time #climate researcher Alan Betts sees too well the quickening pace of changes, his scientific interest has given way to very personal concern #ScienceSunday #ActOnClimate

We have forgotten what it's like to be deeply connected to the earth

Scientific interest has given way to very personal concern. With quickening pace of changes, long-time climate researcher Alan Betts can see too well a very rough path for our children & grandchildren

"I wish I could just scream and let everybody know how big this is!" A first-hand report as Mike MacFerrin @CUBoulder shows us extraordinary ice melt on Greenland. #ActOnClimate #ScienceSunday

I wish I could just scream and let everybody know how big this is!

A first-hand report as Mike MacFerrin @CUBoulder shows us extraordinary ice melt on Greenland. To Mike, "Climate change is important to me because it affects so much of what I do and what I love."

Climate change is far more than just being warmer. Prof. Abby Swann @UW describes a frightening cascade from temperature to beetles to trees to forest fires to rainfall and more. Impacts coming through many channels – not just "Oh it's hotter outside" #ScienceSunday #ActOnClimate

It's not just "Oh it's hotter outside now"

Young people: Your future is calling. History teaches us that you can be very powerful in bringing about change in society. We need your voices & involvement! A heartfelt message from Kerry Emanuel @MIT, one of the most respected #climate scientists. #ActOnClimate #ScienceSunday

The voice of the young: One force that can change things

Young people: Your future is calling. Climate will principally be a problem for your generation & descendants. But history teaches that you can be very powerful in bringing change! Kerry Emanuel @MIT

"Young people, you need to be involved in climate change. You have the greatest stake in this" – Young scientists @MIT, @UW, @CU, @Harvard urge their generation to get involved in #climate. Listen to their heartfelt videos… morethanscientists.org/#/sea… #ActOnClimate #Protest

The floodings in recent years are stark reminders: #climate change shifts the bell curve on precipitation. Kevin Trenberth: it’s a systemic effect as the atmosphere heats up–storms look similar, but on average more rain due to more moisture in the air #ScienceSunday @NCAR_Science

It simply rains a little harder

James Balog of @ChasingIce: No one gave us the right to destroy the world. Look for yourself – no such document, license or manifest destiny anywhere #ActOnClimate @EarthVisionInst #ScienceSunday

Nobody gave us a license to destroy the world

Check out the Constitution, check out our birth certificates – look for yourself – nowhere in any document were we given a license to destroy the world. We have no such manifest destiny.

We asked dozens of climate scientists. As Ana Ordóñez @UW says, she's heard stories, but has never actually met a climate scientist who doesn't believe #climate change is real. Their quick videos: morethanscientists.org/#/sea… #ActOnClimate #ScienceSunday

"Right Here, Right Now!" @NaomiOreskes @Harvard: climate change isn't a problem for the future that can be solved in the future – it's happening right now across the country and across the world! #ScienceSunday #ActOnClimate

Right Here, Right Now!

NaomiOreskes @Harvard: climate change isn't a problem for the future that can be solved in the future– it's happening right now across the country and across the world. No we can't wait to address it!

As both a farmer and a #climate scientist, Jennifer Phillips @BardCEP is very focused on the challenges coming for farmers: "It's going to take some radical change in the farming sector to really handle this, because it's going to be dramatic." #ScienceSunday #ActOnClimate

As both farmer & climate scientist: the changes will be dramatic

As both farmer & climate scientist, Jennifier Phillips @BardCEP is deeply concerned about the challenges coming: "It's going to take some radical change in farming, b/c it's going to be dramatic."
