Dr Joe’s COP30 diary Day 4:

Health day!

Why?

The climate crisis is a health crisis.

I am not ok and have not been ok for a while. What is happening to the people, the children, of Gaza is on my mind all day and every night. I hear their cries all the time.

I just don't know how we as a world can allow this to happen. Never again means NEVER AGAIN. media.un.org/unifeed/en/a...

Merry Christmas everyone! I celebrated by ditching the family to fall down hills really fast.

Does anyone have any audiobook recommendations for while I'm running?
I'm looking for trashy reads with preferably female voices so I can be engrossed enough to forget I'm running uphill, but simple enough so I can still watch out for rabbit holes and tree roots.

Can someone please teach me Smalltalk? People keep saying, "oh it is so cold outside" and looking at me like I need to reply. It is winter, we live in the mountains, should it be warm?!

Ok, started as a run, but then the dogs found this "beach" so I had to take a nap

New running spot!

Phone photos never show how dramatic the sky really is, but it looks damn nice here

#ClimateChange and health—why should we care?
Dr Maria Neira answers. Follow our stories from #COP29.

Picking up trail running, found the flattest trail I could and I still tripped over. Still more fun than choking on car exhaust!

Hi everyone, I'm a writer who's personality consists of sleep deprivation, coffee addiction and complicated recipes. Everyone here is so much nicer than me, so I hope that you rub off on me.
