I compared 22 identical climate-related posts on Threads vs Bluesky over the last 3 months, and the difference is shocking. Normalized engagement on Threads dropped nearly 2/3 + my following dropped, while Bluesky engagement held steady + following quadrupled. What’s driving this? Read on! 🧵 https://media.tenor.com/RUYwokMyZEMAAAAC/threads-or-bluesky-threads.gif?hh=400&ww=400

    The evidence the author uses to back her claim is that her bluesky engagement rised in November, while her threads engagement dropped.

    This was a platform wide trend as threads rapidly lost users and bluesky rapidly gained. I doubt this is because her account reports on climate. But likely because in the same timeframe bsky gained 10+ million new users vs threads 1 million. (And threads actually declined in active users).

    I’m as sceptical of Zuck as anyone, and think his algorithm surely does fucked up shit, but the bar for evidence really hasn’t been reached here.

      There’s a blog post from Meta saying that they’re going to limit distribution of “poltical” content on threads

      Their ads policy considers any discussion of climate to be political, so I’d expect the same elsewhere

      She normalised her numbers based on the number of followers she had on each platforms, so should have adjusted for this

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
