The very entertaining & inspiring @andrimagnason.bsky.social with @hattiewilliams.bsky.social. I hadn't realised the Ok glacier memorial has now been used on 3 of the world's 'dead' glaciers 🥺 I asked if he was having to change the Bónus pig on his poetry book but he's #TeamOldPig! #IcelandNoir 💙📚🇮🇸

Important thread.
"I don't think many folks, apparently including Gates & advisors, appreciate just how radically transformed a 2.5-3C warmer world would be."
Indeed that is the key problem. They don't get it. But whenever we try to state it clearly, it's dismissed as alarmist. Catch 22.
I strongly agree--both because I personally believe that it's the right thing to do and also because the evidence supports it--that rapidly addressing poverty, health inequity, and food/water insecurity should be a first-order priority. Full stop. No argument there. [3/n]

In Iceland we have cut the connection between good weather and Ice Cream. If the weather is good. Then ice cream. A gloomy cold day in February? Perfect to go for a ride and have ice cream.

The surface of Iceland is covered with an invisible layer of stories. For centuries, the language and landscape have been in conversation.
