* Add images identified as related to climate change to Wikipedia articles: There's been some good research lately on [https://climatevisuals.org/7-climate-visuals-principles what kinds of images are most compelling when communicating about climate change]. By those criteria, most of the images in the climate change category are not very good. E.g. many of them are about environmental protestors, which are among the least effective kinds of images. I would instead encourage people who are interested in illustrating articles to think more creatively about images instead of using ones that are in the obvious category already. E.g. how about pictures of sustainable architecture, electric vehicles, passenger trains, people installing solar panels in their villages, etc. [[User:Clayoquot|Clayoquot]] ([[User_talk:Clayoquot|talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Clayoquot|contribs]]) 07:05, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
*:Ooh, good idea -- do you want to break this out a bit :) We could always add a section about this as "easy interventions you can do anywhere", [[User:Sadads|Sadads]] ([[User talk:Sadads|talk]]) 14:31, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
*::Yup, I'm thinking of maybe doing a bigger writeup, maybe even in the form of the requested [[Climate communication]] article. There has been a lot of research done in the past few years about what kinds of messages around climate change move people. The New York Times had [https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/12/climate/climate-solutions-polar-bears.html an excellent piece] on it: "What motivates people to care and to act is an awareness of the genuine solutions: a new clean-energy future, improving our standard of living, and building local jobs and the local economy.” One of the ways in which I'd like to nudge the culture at Wikipedia is away from what climate communication people call the "[https://e360.yale.edu/features/how_can_we_make_people_care_about_climate_change catastrophe frame]" and towards improving the content that talks about opportunities and solutions.

:Some in line responses above, in general this is just the beginning -- so lets think about adding content or tweaking as well. [[User:Sadads|Sadads]] ([[User talk:Sadads|talk]]) 14:31, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
