Tabitha, thank you for sharing this resource and explaining the heart of it so cleanly and simply. I also write and think and worry about Climate Change and how to communicate it (as a communications expert who works for agencies dedicated to reducing emissions and preparing for the future).

You will be encouraged to learn about a World Bank Climate project in Fiji that made storytelling of FIjians (via VR headsets) whose lives had been affected by Climate disasters a main part of the program.

Personally, I think humanity needs a main symbolic image, like the “Hole” in the Ozone Layer that provoked global action on eliminating CFC’s. If Climate Change coming our way due to an asteroid crashing into the earth, humanity would raise trillions to build a space ship and blast it off it’s path to earth — just like in the two movies made with that theme. But it’s not happening htat way. We are the frog, slowly boiling in the pot of water. How do we wake that frog up, and get it to jump while there’s time left?
