"The GDP figures we’re using to measure economic success also measure the rate at which we're barrelling towards climate catastrophe"
I set out the case for moving to a #WellbeingEconomy in first-ever Commons debate on the issue
Never thought I would say this but #ClarksonsFarm was really good
Yes he plays the pantomime villain, but it actually showed a lot of reality - and said some important things that rarely get shown on TV
Fair play to @JeremyClarkson

Interesting to find other pictures of this individual on social media, dating back to May this year, and of others in this location from last year and 2019

This is big. At the PreCOP meeting in Rome, the Italian scientist Giorgio Parisi, who just won the Nobel Prize in Physics, testified that "GDP growth is incompatible with the fight against global warming". "GDP is not a good measure of the economy." https://t.co/HbeImu1yS1
I joined @ExtinctionR@XRebellionUK outside the Bank of England to protest about banks' funding of fossil fuels & to talk about the #CEEBill - the legislation we need to tackle both the climate & nature crises

According to the new IPCC report, the carbon budget that gives us the best odds of staying below 1,5°C runs out in less than 5 and a half years at our current emissions rate. Maybe someone should ask the people in power how they plan to “solve” that?
The strandline is the ever shifting space on the shore, marking the spot where land ends and the sea begins.
It can be full of treasure, including mermaids purses, the egg capsules of sharks and rays; goose barnacles; or decorative pieces of driftwood.

Inspired by @ChrisGPackham, a dusk wander through ancient woodland. Bats emerging low overhead, muntjac barking, tawny owls calling, senses heightened. Such a special place 💚 @BBCSpringwatch
