Interested in how the world is going wrong and what reversing that looks like
Super strong 'B-roll exposition from a dystopic future where we failed on climate' energy.

Predicted demand for EVs "seems not to have materialised" and it's all petrol SUVs instead. The Markets heard our prayers but did not answer, guess that's that, gg all

There's wry wisdom in the meme "Climate change will manifest as a series of disasters viewed through phones with footage that gets closer and closer to where you live until you're the one filming it". Spectacle all the way down.

Maybe one day we'll finish filming and start doing something?

Per Charlie Young, globally many victims of 'natural disasters' understand them as 'acts of god'.

This system of meaning doubtless has its upsides, but one big con is that it excises the causes and indeed the culprits of these horrors. Our 'extreme weather' narrative is frankly no better. (5/11)

This is especially apparent in that central "once in a generation" line. At once a worthy warning and completely bonkers, verging on outright denial. Which generation would this be, the Flappers???

In their efforts to assure, our institutions demonstrate their refusal to face the reality (4/11)

#StormEowyn feels like my (and Edinburgh's) first direct taste of climate breakdown. Watching crazy, hurricane-force winds outside my windows rn - feeling a strange sense of disconnect...

This isn't do to with the weather (genuinely frightening) but the way the whole event is being mediated (1/11)
