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.
Feeling a little tired of having this conversation every year and getting burned out before the new year begins.
So, I asked four non-Indigenous people what they thought about Jan 26 instead.
A truly excellent way to start a Sunday is by seeing three @BloomsburyBooks authors picked for the Observer’s annual 10 Best Debut Novelists! Hurray for the brilliant @KennedyLoulou, @LaJohnJoseph and especially our very own @rosieandrews22 🐍 🐍
This is nephew, Ethan. He was born unexpectedly and terrifyingly at home on Jan 2nd, struggling to breathe. My SIL had to perform CPR on him while my brother drove to the hospital as no ambulances were available. Any politician that says the health system is coping is a liar.
'It is the book that I never thought I would get to write.'
