#ShowYourStripes is about raising awareness and creating momentum for climate action. From local changes to global trends, it's an opportunity to start a conversation on what the climate crisis means to you. Share your #ClimateChats ➡ talkclimatechange.org/map
BREAKING: the White Cliffs of Dover have been illuminated with the UK 'warming stripes' for #ShowYourStripes day! These stripes represent the UK average temperature from 1884 to 2022 with blue colours for colder years and red colours for hotter years. ShowYourStripes.info

Let's go beyond hoping that extreme weather "wakes people up" to #climatechange – if you're experiencing smoke right now, speak with a family member/friend about it (and check that they are staying safe) Then add your discussion to our climate chats map: talkclimatechange.org
BREAKING: @MWCOG has issued a CODE PURPLE for DC area. "The D.C. region has not previously recorded a Code Purple day for fine particle pollution." Code purple means air is unhealthy for all people. Limit time outside and/or wear mask.

It's been about a month since #COP26 and we just want to say thank you, again, to the THOUSANDS of people who participated in #climatechats this past year! We are now writing up results and brainstorming next steps, but in the meantime please keep up your climate conversations!

We were thrilled to host @KHayhoe last week with @OxClimateSoc and we have to admit, although we knew her talk would be GOOD, it absolutely BLEW US AWAY! Please watch her talk, send the video to a friend, and buy her new book Saving Us! Full recording: youtu.be/5ojEZ0o4B4k

If you want to have productive and meaningful conversations with others about #COP26, telling them that they are WRONG or a "disgrace" for having a different opinion on the outcome than you is not an effective strategy. Our advice: start a dialogue rather than an attack
One conversation can have a powerful impact, but more often than not, people need to engage multiple times to have ideas sink in and build trust. We love @Revkin's advice on not thinking of #ClimateChats as a one-off, but a long-term engagement that strengthens communal ties.
On the last day of #COP26 take @Cambridge_Uni's @Sander_vdLinden's advice — have a conversation with friends or family about the climate crisis. Help build the public consensus for #ClimateAction. Engage in some #ClimateChats and add them to our map: talkclimatechange.org

It's been two weeks of high-intensity climate conversations. As #COP26 comes to an end, what are your reflections on the #ClimateChats you've been having or hearing? Have you broken out of the climate bubble at all? 💬🗺️➡️ talkclimatechange.org
Behold the power of #ClimateChats!
My housemate just told me about her Glaswegian taxi driver who’s ‘had his eyes opened’ during #COP26, so has spent his time off this week helping plant seagrass meadows off the coast of Scotland and reading up on net zero vs zero carbon
