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

1.5million people, 610,000 of them children, are seeking shelter in Rafah.
Bombardment is ongoing.
There is nowhere safe left to go.

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…

When organisations put on shiny faces & say one thing publicly yet behind the scenes treat their staff appallingly it needs to be called out by boards every single time. Well done @HannanRuth must have been incredibly tough for you. An apology to you from @theRSAorg is needed now

Last night my best friend in the whole world got hit by a car whilst crossing Yateley Road in Harborne Birmingham, as they turned right and didn’t stop to turn from Harborne Road at high speed, and the car didn’t stop, just drove off. This was between 5.55 - 6.03. Were you around, did you see anything?
Do you live on Yateley Road, might you have a camera on your front door, any footage of a car speeding off around this time?
