Encouraging book reviews from some of my energy heroes. My first go at popular science writing (normally write text books) and really enjoyed it. Loved ones ask me "how do you know it's going to be popular?" "It's the genre, darling" I say.

Rampant extractivism turns the Earth inside out. Then the fan hits the shit...

Just out. @LaurenARickards and I talk about the massive global problem of climate change impacting back upon landscapes and infrastructures of extraction

[Mark Brandon @icey_mark]

Yesterday was one of those days filled with new experiences. Grateful to all my brilliant colleagues who enabled me - and who often did all the hard stuff. Wishing everyone the best for '22.

@Susannahfisher @ThinkAnge @AcademicChatter @pbnclimate @MarikaWeinhardt Yes it’s known as the “Trust Fund for Participation in the UNFCCC Process”. That’s the main one but there are other initiatives from time to time, such as funds for junior negotiators from LDCs.

Little Amal walks into #COP26 after a 9000 km journey. A moving, spell binding theatre experience for so long and so many representing all our displaced children. I recommend this radio backgrounder here https://t.co/KSSoKqzl16 ⁦@OpenUniversity⁩ ⁦⁦@OUScotland⁩

David Pitt-Watson @CambridgeJBS looks at Adam Smith's work, explaining that he was a professor of moral philosophy, and viewed this as integral to his economics - an idea somewhat alien to the textbooks of today.
