What is the best #mastodon #instance for scientifically literal people who are also #climate activists? People that are aware that the climate crisis is happening, #PolyCrisis location dependent, and care enough to be motivated to speak out against the business-as-usual craziness of societies.
A community of evidence-based thinkers (informed) that do not simply "cherry pick" whatever "science" aligns with their personal agendas - therefore do not habitually deny and are not ignorant about the science that they don't personally "like" (the idea of)

I had an account (suspended) on the activist instance Climatejustice Social. Whilst the general theme (toots in general) is climate-related news and activism, many of the posts I read were from folks who expressed obvious signs of scientific illiteracy (that also means they were not always interested or even objected to the evidence that didn't align with their personal beliefs or agendas)

You might be looking for climate journalists instead. One of the downsides with activism is that the downsides of a policy are never supposed to be mentioned.
Climate journalism is a very broad term and in many examples is based on business as usual.
For example, at best, reporting some of the science accurately ("cherry picking" information), at worst also reporting greenwash or business-as-usual "solutions" that increase ecological degradation (e.g., promoting the idealogy that business-as-usual consumerism can be sustained by buying billions of electric EV's)
I am considering mastodon.green. However, the instance does not meet the criteria for "A community of evidence-based thinkers"
From the instances, I've seen. there are those that are generally "science", for example, fediscience.org, and there are climate activist instances.
I have not seen one that is a combination of both.
FWIW, you can collect an online community of the people you're interested in regardless of which instance they're on! Your tags are a good start
@Empiricism_Reloaded Not sure what the best account is, but this account has been created to boost #climate and #ClimateScience posts.
Here is both a weblist and a .csv of the current Following list for @ClimateMigration :
