Great piece by Mike Hulme! (open access link in thread)
Today’s highlight: “The Unbearable Weight of #Displaced #Weather” by Mike Hulme, from 𝘚𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 #7

“[We] increasingly experience weather as virtual, vicarious, and sensational, rather than as real, embodied, and sensual. We become #disoriented through this surfeit of unfamiliar weather.”

Increasing temperatures can seriously affect our health, wellbeing and work.

The good news? There are things we can do about it.
