Friends at #COP30 please keep an eye on the chatter about solar geoengineering. It's being pushed through without proper deliberations or thorough analysis of the myriad risks it poses to planetary stability. Precisely what the fossil fuel industry wants to avoid accountability. #ClimateActionNow
Not such a bright idea: cooling the Earth by reflecting sunlight back to space is a dangerous distraction

Not such a bright idea: cooling the Earth by reflecting sunlight back to space is a dangerous distraction

A charity is gaining momentum pushing for state-subsidised diners to be reintroduced across the UK to improve access to affordable, healthy, and climate-friendly food.
Not everyone is convinced, however, that there's a chance in the current political climate.

What if dinner was public infrastructure?
A Scottish charity wants to reintroduce state-subsidised diners for all—potentially a big ask in the current political climate.

Being an academic is like carrying an armload full of balls. Sometimes you pick up new balls and add to the pile, but most of the time other people are putting balls in your pile. Eventually you start dropping balls and then people get upset with you. But no one can hold all the balls at once.
