Dear journalists of the world: We are at risk of losing basically everything. This - what we're experiencing now - is how that process unfolds. The more fossil fuels we burn, the further in that process we go.
You MUST begin to tell 5 critical truths. Civilization depends on it.
Looking forward to introducing @bunce_sally tonight at her talk for @GroupRyedale in Malton (Friends Meeting House) - it's going to be fascinating, if fury-inducing...
