The award-winning book "The Climate Pandemic" challenges many of the myths that we have been told about climate disruption. The book argues that current plans to limit global heating will not avoid climate catastrophe, that renewable energy will not offer a major clean energy source, and that decarbonizing our energy system is a delusion. The book also argues that the human species will not ultimately survive climate disruption. "The Climate Pandemic" provides a comprehensive overview of the science, technology, politics, economics, and psychology of climate disruption. The book explains the climate-driven heat waves, megadroughts, wildfires, floods, and superstorms that are already happening and will become more common in the future. It also explores the human impacts of climate disruption, such as increased toxicity and disease, famine, migration, conflict, and societal collapse. The book documents the failure of the media, scientists, environmentalists, corporations, and politicians to act on climate disruption. It also reveals how the Paris agreement, renewable energy, carbon capture, geoengineering, and nuclear power are unrealistic panaceas.

#SciComm - a hashtag you should know. Science communication is a passion that has become deeply personal. My address on the topic to the American Geophysical Union @theAGU. I hope you take the time to watch, listen, share and let me know what you think youtu.be/iTYKM3M-mOo

This will go over well with #scicomm. Data shows that using science in an argument just makes people more partisan: qz.com/869587/using-science-…
