Actually following through on the three promises already made relating to renewables, energy efficiency and methane, would keep global temperatures very close to the 1.5°C target.

This week's column argues that we cannot fight the climate crisis without also fighting the epistemic crisis.

Dark forces are preventing us fighting the climate crisis – by taking knowledge hostage | George Monbiot

Lepiota leucothites - is it still rare in Britain? It is listed as such in Roger Phillips 1981, but I recently found some just outside my house! Assuming, of course, that I have identified it correctly. #mycology #fungi #mushrooms

Robbie Williams turned up at the car boot sale earlier. He tried to sell me a sculpture of a DJ. I said, "I don't want a rock DJ."

A good friend has the experience, a few years ago, of trying to make #ethical choices at his local supermarket and feeling overwhelmed. Since then he's largely given up on making ethical #consumer choices. I can see why. I haven't given up, but it's very hard. The standard is mostly dreadfully low.

You should vote for me. I'm not a politician, just an ordinary chap you'd meet in the pub. I'll fail to mention that I own the pub. And the village. And the land around. And the newspapers in the pub.
