Yellow Dot Studios

Attention creatives: Narrative storytelling is powerful! Important study from our friends at Rare. "We found that the show increased support for governmental action on climate change and boosted several hard-to-move attitudes on climate justice.  Most exciting: we found that many of the positive shifts in audience attitudes persisted even two weeks after viewing the episode – providing empirical evidence that viewing climate-forward content can provide stable shifts in climate attitudes in the short-to-mid term." https://lnkd.in/gizwqYEm

“It’s exciting to see a legendary actor like Ron Perlman and an Oscar-nominated writer, Josh Olson, team up to kick big oil in the teeth. More and more we’re seeing people in film, TV, and music start to wake up to how urgent climate breakdown is.” - Adam McKay

This first show was amazing and we're so excited to be back MONDAY with another night of comedy, special guests, music, and climate action, so we don't... you know. Join us at Let's Not Die — live in LA or on the LIVESTREAM from anywhere: https://lnkd.in/g748-cvt

June 27, 2024, The Extreme Weather Report The media is failing to connect the dots between increasingly dangerous extreme weather and the fossil fuel companies, banks, and elected officials causing global heating. #extremeweather #climatechange#climateemergency #globalwarming #heatdome #wildfire #floods #weather #wx #news

A great conversation on how Yellow Dot Studios blends comedy and climate change to get the message across. I 💚ed listening in to Staci Roberts-Steele and Ellis Watamanuk on the role of #Entertainment in #ClimateAction

"My former editor told me not to use cliches. But she retired, so here goes: Laughter is the best medicine. Or for climate, at least, it’s a lot more useful than despair. How can we wrangle this existential threat if we believe we’re doomed no matter what?" More great climate coverage from Sammy Roth, of all the funny stuff happening on climate change these days.

5. If your job is connected to big oil, quit. Or better yet, leak info to reputable journalists or become a whistleblower. Whistleblowing is a protected activity under the law. A whistleblower has legal protection from retaliatory acts when they report criminal actions in a workplace. https://lnkd.in/gig4Qnzj

There is a bright spot (sort of) to this jarring news: ⁠ Scientists aren't saying this level of catastrophic warming is inevitable, or that we lack the necessary knowledge or technology to stop it. Rather, it is because of the failure and obstruction of political leaders and corporations. And that IS something that we as individuals, voters, and employees can do something about. https://lnkd.in/dwiymEZU
