The idea is to create something that captures and helps record #ClimateChange in all its different manifestations, large and small, throughout the world. We all (most of us) know it's happening, but it's so slow, so on and off, that it's often really hard to grasp. And whilst #ExtremeWeather events are recorded, smaller changes, and how people experience them and how it affects their lives, is largely completely unrecorded, uncaptured. It would be good to try and do this, I feel 2/4

At the same time, a collective #ClimateDiary might also help emotionally - in the way that all diary writing helps to work through emotions, but also by sharing and connecting across the world, especially if you feel alone and isolated in thinking about climate in your own community and family. It might be quite therapeutic to be able to share and connect your thoughts and feelings

So let's try this! Use #ClimateDiary in your toot whenever you want to make a Climate Diary post, and 3/4

if you feel like it, also follow the #ClimateDiary hashtag yourself. I will myself follow, search and re-toot all #ClimateDiary posts and can be a sort of hub, at least initially. And if it takes off, @bridgetmck and I have been discussing perhaps linking this with the #ClimateMuseum #ExtremeWeather Experiences project (check out the climate museum as a whole, it's really great) 4/4

@bridgetmck Hi Bridget, thank you so muxh for offering! I do have a medium account but a bit tied up today and this coming week, so if you do feel like doing a quixk one today that would be really good. But no worries at all if you don’t manage. I thought i could perhaps do one one or two weeks down the line, with extracts from the posts by other people? Thank you for your support, really appreciate it
