Scientists are primed to see society's challenges as technical problems - if we can just get more information, we can fix it
But climate & nature are political problems not technical ones, and a technocentric mindset seems to hold scientists back from engaging politically or changing behaviour

The point of all these COPs is to stimulate action on climate change
Action on climate change means ending the burning of fossil fuels
Why give the biggest seat at the negotiating table to the people trying to stop the negotiations from being successful?

Drax still burning 250-year-old trees sourced from forests in Canada, experts say
Exclusive: report by Stand.earth says subsidiary of power plant received truckloads of whole logs at biomass pellet sites
Drax power plant has continued to burn 250-year-old trees sourced from some of Canada’s oldest forests despite growing scrutiny of its sustainability claims, forestry experts say.
A new report suggests it is “highly likely” that Britain’s biggest power plant sourced some wood from ecologically valuable forests as recently as this summer.

We can't meet our climate change targets by exporting emissions. That's why we've taken the first formal step in legal proceedings against the Government. goodlaw.social/s87x

As Keir Starmer heads for Brazil, his government is failing to meet the challenge of global heating – so we’re taking legal action.

In the 10 years since Paris, we failed to take the actions necessary to hold to 1.5C. We now face the same challenge in the next decade, but for 2C.
But now we also have to also contend with far worse #climate impacts as we try to decarbonise.
