Whom do they serve? "Even as a quarter of US lawmakers deny the #climatecrisis, the American public has been moving significantly in the other direction. Fewer than one in five people in the US reject the findings of #climatescience, according to various studies, with long-running polling by Yale University showing that those they class as “dismissive” stand at just 11%." #climate #climatechange #climatepollution

@KeithDJohnson there are so many positive feedback loops in the climate systems that are being pushed (methane hydrates, methane from thawing tundra, reduced albedo etc). The key takeaway seems to be that no attempt at sucking CO2 or deploying solar shields or the like actually matter or will be effective if we don’t stop burning fossil fuels. That said once we reduce carbon pollution significantly then we will need to deal with the continuing feedback loops, if we can.

Problem is, there aren't any words. So maybe you need to make a phrase, as you did with #ClimateDiary

If you did, then perhaps the word Pollution would be worth employing?

Fundamentally, pollution is at the core of #ClimateChange. It's a word everyone understands and more importantly, it **triggers emotions**. Think how powerful images are, of industrial areas with smoke pouring out from their chimneys.
