I just finished reading @KateRaworth's "Doughnut Economics" and started reading @AstroMCollins's "Carrying the fire". You would think that these two books, except for both being amazing, have nothing else in common. But then this happens:

To those sitting in their armchairs criticizing climate activists, if you can do better, show us. I'm being completely serious. We desperately need you to pitch in and demonstrate how to do it. Bring your brilliant ideas out into the world before we all lose it

It's long been waiting to happen - I love this visual mashup: Doughnut Economics meets Less is More @jasonhickel thx to @ExtinctionR #sufficiency

The UK government's ruthless and reckless policies that "go for growth” require us all to ask the essential questions that Donella Meadows - mother of systems thinking - set out decades ago. So join me in answering these questions... 1/n

What's wrong with Carl Sagan - and right with Kim Stanley Robinson? Are citizens' assemblies the answer? Can stories change the future? My interview with @ExtinctionR Writers Rebel @XrRebel. With brililant questions from @LizJensenWriter https://t.co/mdqYsyNqLT

A simultaneous 30°C anomaly in the Arctic and 40°C anomaly in the Antarctic, among the most terrifying events scientists have recorded, was a footnote in the bulletins.
One celeb slapping another: headlines everywhere.
This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a bant.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

30°C above normal in the Arctic today.
40°C above normal in the Antarctic today.
It would be unbelievable if it were not true.
And it is terrifying beyond words.
The war we have waged against the natural world has, in climatic terms, just gone nuclear.

🚨I wrote about immunocompromised people—what they’ve been through, their frustrations, and their hopes.

This is a plea to think about those who don’t get to be done with the pandemic, and to prioritize them as a matter of moral and medical urgency. 1/

Launched today! A beautiful 3min video on new economics stories that can help us all pivot from separation to reconnection - a great starting point for discussions. https://t.co/G7ZOxhwmJ3 Kudos to the team @storiesforlife_ @dansolo

My 13 year old son - an avid reader - just walked into my study and looked at my bookshelves. "Mum", he said, "I want to read a book about economics". Now there's a moment...where to begin? Because where we begin shapes where we go...

Hypercapitalism is killing us. The world's 10 richest men have *doubled* their wealth during this pandemic - while 99% of people have seen incomes fall. A one-off 99% tax on these 10 men's pandemic windfalls could fund vaccines for the world says @oxfam. https://t.co/mCGpwJHYqY

Climate goals are not "ambitious". They are necessary for future life.

The Economics of Don't Look Up!
(in other words: Donut - Look Up!)
@StevenHailAus #DontLookUp https://t.co/QeytIB2441

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

Last night I watched #DontLookUp. It was like seeing my adult life flash past me.
Even down to the morning TV show where I totally lost it while trying, for the 1000th time, to explain what climate breakdown would do.
All the anger, the frustration, the desperation: I feel it.

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

My latest piece is currently "Most viewed" on the Guardian.

"The movie #DontLookUp is satire. But speaking as a climate scientist, it’s also the most accurate film about society’s terrifying non-response to climate breakdown I’ve seen."
