Climate Solutions and Climate Attribution in Extreme Heat Press Coverage: The July 2022 UK Heatwaves | Solutions Journalism Network The July 2022 U.K. heatwave serves as a case study for how media outlets report on extreme heat events and their connection to climate change.

I'm a big fan of soljourno.bsky.social and so pleased that they have included @antalwozniak.bsky.social and my recent #EnvComm study of extreme heat press coverage as a resource on their site www.solutionsjournalism.org/resources/cl... #climatechange #climatesolutions #climatecrisis #openaccess

Pleased to have a chapter published in a new volume, Environmental Communication, edited by Anabela Carvalho and Tarla Rai Peterson. I argue that we need rapid #socialmedia attribution studies to better track #climatemisinformation as it happens. #envcomm www.degruyter.com/document/doi...

Folks working in #envcomm, #ecomedia, #ecocriticism, or #envhum might be interested in our recent publication - the first systematic, large-scale analysis of the presence and portrayal of climate change and other environmental problems in fictional narratives in the academic literature.

Should we even bother talking about climate change? It’s a question you hear muttered more and more in environmental circles and even more brashly from those focused on clean energy: given the shift in public priorities and the state of politics, shoul...

Should we even bother talking about #climatechange? YES! Research from Potential Energy confirms that the most effective messaging focuses on what people stand to lose because of #climate chaos. More confirmation of the need for compassionate #values in #EnvComm.

@mayalivio.bsky.social Hi Maya! Your environmental media research looks very interesting. I would be interested to connect sometime to chat on #envcomm and AI research.

Environmental journalism loses a hero Peter Dykstra – newsman, provocateur, friend and former publisher of EHN – passed away Wednesday.

I was very sorry to read of the death of one of the greats of environmental journalism, Peter Dykstra whom I met at an @sejorg.bsky.social conference and have since followed. A very nice piece about Peter by Brian Bienkowski is below. #journalism #environment #EnvComm

Key climate language poorly understood by majority in UK, poll finds Terms such as ‘green’, ‘sustainable’ and ‘environmentally friendly’ understood only by minority, says study

Should we be ALARMED by the relatively low levels of #environmental literacy reflected in this survey? Or should we be RE-ASSURED that the public has not yet fully succumbed to the vague and pleasant #language of #greenwashing?

"Too often, communications and Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL) are the first things to be dropped from program and project budgets, but absolutely shouldn’t be. Or, as projects end, some findings are shared but are simply inaccessible to those who most need to hear them. Excellent research insights are hidden in publications behind paywalls and in expensive academic scholarly books, presented at conferences and lecture theaters to a gathering of the choir."

This quote pretty much sums up the core shortcoming of almost all #research and #campaigning on #wildlife #conservation, #climate, and #environmental issues.
