"If we take the right path the Earth will work with us" As long-time #climate researcher Alan Betts sees too well the quickening pace of changes, his scientific interest has given way to very personal concern #ScienceSunday #ActOnClimate

Climate change is far more than just being warmer. Prof. Abby Swann @UW describes a frightening cascade from temperature to beetles to trees to forest fires to rainfall and more. Impacts coming through many channels – not just "Oh it's hotter outside" #ScienceSunday #ActOnClimate

Young people: Your future is calling. History teaches us that you can be very powerful in bringing about change in society. We need your voices & involvement! A heartfelt message from Kerry Emanuel @MIT, one of the most respected #climate scientists. #ActOnClimate #ScienceSunday

The floodings in recent years are stark reminders: #climate change shifts the bell curve on precipitation. Kevin Trenberth: it’s a systemic effect as the atmosphere heats up–storms look similar, but on average more rain due to more moisture in the air #ScienceSunday @NCAR_Science

We asked dozens of climate scientists. As Ana Ordóñez @UW says, she's heard stories, but has never actually met a climate scientist who doesn't believe #climate change is real. Their quick videos: morethanscientists.org/#/search/colle… #ActOnClimate #ScienceSunday

"Right Here, Right Now!" @NaomiOreskes @Harvard: climate change isn't a problem for the future that can be solved in the future – it's happening right now across the country and across the world! #ScienceSunday #ActOnClimate

As both a farmer and a #climate scientist, Jennifer Phillips @BardCEP is very focused on the challenges coming for farmers: "It's going to take some radical change in the farming sector to really handle this, because it's going to be dramatic." #ScienceSunday #ActOnClimate

Watching the earth system change so quickly – and knowing the physics and where we're headed -- a scary prospect for a young #climate scientist!! Listen… Abby Swann @UW #ActOnClimate

In her work as a #climate researcher, Amanda Carrico @CUBoulder sees how our world is changing. This scares her, thinking about her family and people she loves. But she recognizes that the poor people around the world face the greatest threats #ScienceSunday #ActOnClimate

Kerry Emanuel @MIT: "How finely tuned our civilization is to a #climate that's been remarkably stable for only about 7,000 yrs -- basically all of human civilization but a remarkably short time in geological history." And we're changing that. #ActOnClimate morethanscientists.org/#/video/252

Tony Chang @MSU is a soft-spoken scientist. But he cares enormously about the forests he studies and he sees first-hand the effects of climate change: "It's up to us to decide if we care or not." @OceanMediaInst #ActOnClimate #ScienceSunday

People don't realize how relentless global warming will be. Kevin Trenberth: CO2 lasts 100's yrs, continuing to heat up the Earth. If we wait for everyone to say "Oh yes, we've really got a problem, we've got to do something about it", it's far too late. #ScienceSunday #climate

Our kids and grandkids will really wish we acted sooner on #climate change, so we need to do as much as we can now -- Emily Zakem @MIT explains why in this heartfelt video… #ScienceSunday #ActOnClimate
