Climate messaging has a problem. We’ve mostly messaged about the threats of climate change, and while that has influenced some people, Americans who say that climate change is human caused has only increased from 50% to 60% over the past decade. That is clearly not good enough.

No need to barricade the house and stock up on garlic just yet, the vampire is already in your house in your electrical outlets.

Over 60% of the US adult population has gotten at least one COVID vaccine, and a little more 60% believe that climate change is human caused. To eliminate the risk of the virus, and to solve climate change we need more people to get vaccinated and to take action. That will need new messaging.

Way to go General Motors for being the first U.S. major to announce an all electric fleet by 2035. Here is hoping that it can happen even sooner than that; let's work together to put these into some racing games and show them off to the world
