Some new research we’ve been working on @DarkMatter_Labs with @CIVIC_SQUARE on the real climate risks UK neighbourhoods face and why transformation we may need.
Happy to have this out there and hoping it helps move things forward.
3ºC Neighbourhood is a new piece of research co-authored by @CIVIC_SQUARE @DarkMatter_Labs on the risks UK urban neighbourhoods face due to climate + ecological breakdown under a high emissions scenario, likely resulting in +3ºC average global temperature. bit.ly/Neighbourhood3

Bombardment is ongoing.

Not sure what the point is of posting other stuff while genocide in Palestine continues & most else seems so wildly insignificant. Am heads down these days to build the small parts where I might contribute to a liberated future, knowing it's nowhere near enough or proportionate

This is the disgusting impact of failed policies and government, led by people who have never experienced and do not understand the impacts of poverty.
Norwich in 2023. Heartbreaking.
This article hit me like a punch to the stomach when I read it yesterday. I'm sure many felt the same.
How could this happen in our 'fine city'? How could this happen in our wonderful county?

How can the world stand by & witness this atrocity? How can some even fund & enable the mass destruction of a whole society? This isn’t self-defence; it’s wholesale annihilation of communities; it’s ethnic cleansing. History will remember it as just that. apple.news/A5zKOvCl0TMieq9ZV…
