@EkstamJane @rwclimate @parents4future@ECOWARRIORSS@PHellermann@orridge_anna With climate, it's already too late for huge numbers of organisms, humans included, whether because they've died from climate impacts already or
because they will do from impacts already set in motion. It's about damage limitation now. Which is still life-affirming, in its way.
@lukefinleyedit I agree. For me, books are made to be read and circulated rather than hoarded and admired. I say that in full knowledge of how tempting it is to hoard & admire them! (And in full knowledge that an itinerant life has shoved me over to e-books - which mostly can't be circulated...)
@MaliniDevadas Spent a day learning to steer a narrowboat up and down a beautiful stretch of canal - turning, passing, mooring up and so on. For someone who normally spends most of her hours at a screen or just taking a walk on solid ground, this was a stretch - but a good one π
@EditorSpice Decarbonisation can seem dry at first - but then we remember that everything we are and love depends on this process of change, and that does put a new slant on things! Might as well bring all of ourselves, including our imaginations and our funny bones, to the challenge.
@orridge_anna This makes some good points and covers some good examples: https://t.co/iEmp6EeXov See also this tweet by @maxboykoff for a few useful contacts in this area: https://t.co/AkZGAVuj0R
@orridge_anna I think *not* doing comedy about climate is a form of denial. Climate breakdown is tragic, but climate *action* and cultural shift are absolutely the kind of messy human endeavours that call for comedy. Comedy (done well) teaches us about absurdity, helps us stay sane, and more.
