"[A]mongst those of us privileged enough to fly, and make decisions about energy policy that will impact others more than ourselves, we appear oblivious to the catastrophe we are seemingly complicit in. Cognitive dissonance or a deliberate attempt to maintain privilege and global inequalities?"
"what I find most disturbing is that the use of aviation remains typically unquestioned, placing increasing pressure on other industries to move more quickly, despite its dominant use by a privileged minority." - Prof. @aliceclimate.bsky.social

Here is a map view of the record high temperatures in October 2025 across the #Antarctic. Compare this blob of anomalies greater than 5°C with the Arctic from my earlier post. Yikes!

One edited video of Trump is institutional bias and the BBC Director General and Head of News have had to resign. Yet hundreds and hundreds of cases of fully documented institutional bias towards a state committing genocide didn’t have any impact at all. The BBC are finished.

I cancelled my licence fee over the proven and heavily documented & evidenced BBC coverage of Gaza.
The fact that this documented systematic bias didn’t even get reported by the BBC while the DG has resigned over one video of Trump shows how rancid our govt and the BBC are.

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

If you engage with the public about the climate & biodiversity crises
It becomes clear that much of the denial is not because people do not believe these things are happening
But because they don’t want to face the terrifying truth
