Speaking of the #ParisAgreement, add "The Future We Choose" by the co-authors @CFigueres & @TomCarnac to your reading list. @Solar_Sister is featured (pgs 148-149) as an example of a gendered approach to confronting the climate crises head-on, with optimism and determination.

@theresa_may have you no pride. Anybody else or job that has made such a monumental stuff up of their job would leave by their own accord or be marched out. Your government is neither fit for nor has the numbers to deliver #Brexit #GeneralElection is the only way @jeremycorbyn
