2021 PSA Winners
Disclaimer: These PSAs represent examples of climate messaging, and you can sense the urgency conveyed so well through these creative works. We also want to clarify some important facts that may not be clear in these videos. In particular, we want to state that climate change causes shifting weather patterns, including increased rainfall in West Virginia, which leads to increased risk of flooding, which may destroy homes. There is no guarantee that any one flooding event will be linked to climate change, but there is evidence that the trend of increase floods (and flood damage) is linked to climate change (ref: Scientific American). Additionally, we would like to clarify that, while the Yale Climate Opinion maps represent an important reference check for our community members' perceptions, the fact remains that 97% of scientists agree climate change is happening (ref: NASA).
Note: We also love these "Stand Up for Climate Change" Comedy clips!
