Global Climate Change & Digital Platforms

I would engage these different aspects of global climate change (seen below) with aspects of faith. Stewardship of the environment is biblically grounded, and is arguably a bipartisan issue (because of its additional grounding in scientific evidence).

Jeremiah 2:7 - And I brought you into a plentiful land to enjoy its fruits and its good things. But when you came in, you defiled my land and made my heritage an abomination.

Genesis 2:15 - The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.

Nehemiah 9:6 - “You are the Lord, you alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them; and you preserve all of them; and the host of heaven worships you.

Real life examples of the effect of climate change on everyday life is vital in helping people understand how critical a time we are in concerning global climate change.

The way that global climate change impacts human rights and human dignity is a way of communicating climate change in a way that might move people to consider our influence on the planet.

Expressing how dire a situation is can be impactful and important for people to recognize. It is important that these headlines, tagline, or statuses are concise and straight-forward.

Twitter is more complicated because there are character limits, yet fortunately this is helpful in keeping communication concise. Again, human rights and their relationship to global climate change is important to express. Climate change is not simply about hotter weather. Climate change is bigger than any of us realize.

Pictures are helpful in expressing messages about controversial issues, especially climate change. This image shows major glacial decrease, which can impact individuals because it is visual and easily accessible (no reading necessary).

Charts are helpful in showing statistics quickly. I am not sure that they're always the best way to show information about climate change because I think they can shut people off, but often times charts and graphs are able to communicate information quickly and efficiently. 

Again, pictures are able to quickly express an idea. It can be difficult to know what a picture means, but a picture combined with a short description can be helpful for individuals to understand the necessity of action concerning global climate change.

My example of faith in action on digital platforms:

In addition this blog will be live and hopefully influence people in their understanding of global climate change, faith, and digital platforms.
