#theclimatebook — Public Fediverse posts

@gclef Yes, somehow we have to inform people about 'urgency and agency' related to the #climatecrisis. The way to communicate it may be different for each each person.

I recognised the text from the opening of #TheClimateBook. For most people, the problem will be getting anyone to even thinking about skimming such a book. For some people, they'll read it and still not understand.

Just ordered this from #PowellsBooks (It’s a no Bezos zone in mi casa).

I’ve enjoyed @breadandcircuses running examination of #TheClimateBook by #gretathunberg. He’s doing important work disseminating knowledge in a time when so many of us are pushed so hard economically we just don’t have time to … read.

They say imitation is highest form of flattery. So, I’m going to take a page from B&C’s playbook and do the same. I’ll be providing notes, quotes, and summaries as I make my through what some are saying could prove to be one of the most important books of our age.

Stay tuned.

I'm reading #TheClimateBook by Greta Thunberg and learning a LOT!

I'm struck by the parallels between the #ClimateCrisis & the #pandemic in terms of how, in both cases, addressing the problem requires people to completely change norms & behaviors.

A couple times, the book (published in 2022 & so written even earlier) holds up the covid pandemic as an example of how "in times of crisis... our societies can quickly change our behaviors and practices, for example wearing a mask..." (p. 367)

I’m reading first person accounts of indigenous people around the world, and how climate change is destroying their livelihoods and way of life. It’s truly heartbreaking. #TheClimateBook

"The Climate Book" by Greta Thornberg just arrived in the mail. So, I can move up from depression to despair regarding climate.

Still. Better to know, right. I have generations after me to worry about.
