Thank you for a fab spectrum. I loved reading Scientists on Survival (except my chapter, which made me feel shy).
The best book I've read this year is The Life and Rhymes of #BenjaminZephania

Lastly, I offer @scientistsforxr.earth's 'Scientists on Survival' in which yours truly has a chapter.

As @carolinelucas.bsky.social put it wonderfully: “Beware: this is a dangerous book: Dangerous because it’s impossible to read it and not feel moved to stand up, speak out, and take urgent action.”

Part of the task is learning to see through false solutions that are stymieing genuine climate action

In 'The Value of A Whale' @adriennebuller.bsky.social pulls back the curtain on mainstream myths of market-centric thinking that put profit before planet, & asks us to examine what we really value🧵

However, the political barriers to bringing about such a transformation are immense!

In 'The Long Heat' @wimcarton.bsky.social & Andreas Malm provide a brilliant & rigorous account of what we are up against & what actors in the climate movement must do to navigate an era of planetary overshoot🧵

One powerful effort to imagine a sustainable future is Tim Lenton's 'Positive Tipping Points'.

This book offers the vision of a pathway to environmental salvation, highlighting the ways that socio-technical systems can change far more rapidly then we tend to recognise.🧵

Next, in 'The Nature of Tomorrow' Michael Rawson expertly reveals how past science fictions came to grip the popular imagination & how we acted on these ideas to shape the world around us.

This book reminds us that a sustainable future hinges on our ability to create new visions of tomorrow🧵

"People in the Global North live in bubbles. We surround ourselves with stuff, immerse ourselves in a human-made world, live without any connection to nature, and deny any need for it. For many people, nature can seem peripheral, optional or irrelevant.."

Thank you for all the work you do, not just with Palestine Action. Our juries are one of the cornerstones of our highly revered English legal system. Our English ancestors died for us to have these rights, protections, and freedoms, so It's important we fight to keep them.
