Climate hawks must swoop in on public sentiment.Photo: Andrew RedingIn a couple of posts last week — here and here — I laid out the brutal logic implied by the latest climate science (with credit to scientist Kevin Anderson for stripping away the rosy assumptions hiding in many of today’s common climate scenarios). To sum up: a rise in temperature of 2 degrees C (3.6 degrees F) will be extremely dangerous; a rise of 4 degrees C (7.2 degrees F) or higher could threaten civilization; the only way to avoid 2 degrees C — or even 4 degrees C — is a massive crash program that will likely involve, for the rich, industrialized countries of the world, peaking emissions in 2015 and declining them 10 percent year-on-year after that.

Alarming! In this post I want to take a step back (sideways?) And have a bit of a meta-discussion about messages of alarm/urgency and where they fit into the climate communications landscape. Reaction to the posts has been interesting. The 10 percent threshold. Whitney & Company. How To Create An Ideavirus: No, You Go First! Our intent is to do something completely new something that has not been done before.

How do we create an ideavirus, which will capture hearts and minds for the long-term?

To make it a positive, life-long, make-a-difference experience, tribe, and relationship? A (self-)help hub? The Challenge of the New The challenge of the new idea is that very few people want to go first. Try Before Buying One of the key reasons to launch an ideavirus is that you can give people a risk-free, cost-free way to check out the safety of your idea before they commit. But just as people are hesitant to be the first to buy a fancy new product, many are hesitant to try a fancy new idea. One way to do this is with testimonials.
