#ClimateDiary “Above is a fictional weather forecast for August 18, 2050, broadcast by French television in 2014, intended to warn against the disastrous consequences of global warming. Below is the weather forecast for June 22, 2026.” (By @jakubwiech@bird.makeup on unmentionable) This brings out super starkly how #ClimateChange has accelerated so much more quickly than we thought even just 12 years ago.

Bloody Hope! Hope again! I am so sick of hope. Didn’t like it as s message in climate activism (we need hope); didn’t particularly like it as a slogan for Greens; and now like it even less that it’s been stolen by Labour (like so much else in Burnham’s speech). It’s completely meaningless and crap. Also: what a phenomenal admission of failure, for a governing party!

I joined the #GreenParty Regents Park canvassing team on Monday for #ZackPolanski campaign in #holbornandstpancras - great to meet so many committed young Greens! I wanted to go again today but sadly ill. Sending everyone out canvassing and leafletting these last few days all the very best. And voters: go for Green! Everything nice about Burnham/Labour now comes from Green pressure. More pressure = better government.

#ClimateDiary I watched my village disappear in an instant. “When I finally reached someone — an elder brother’s house — it was his wife who answered. “There’s nothing left in the village,” she said simply. “Most of the people are gone.” I couldn’t make myself believe it. Sole and Tupche sit nearly a hundred metres above the riverbed. No flood in living memory — in centuries, as far as anyone knew — had ever reached that high.” #Nepal #Glacier https://kathmandupost.com/province-no-3/2026/08/27/i-watched-my-village-disappear-in-an-instant

I watched my village disappear in an instant

In the devastating floods that severed an entire district from the rest of Nepal, one The Kathmandu Post journalist witnessed his childhood village disappear — through fragments of video, and phone calls that stopped connecting.

The UK government is now telling us to stock up because of Godzilla ElNino kicking off in autumn. 2026 has already been horrific, bleak and scary - wildfires, heatwave, drought, #Nepal 💔😢 and all. Meanwhile feels like huge financial crash and a lot more war coming soon too. Not to mention AI dystopia. Plus personal #Precarity for so many of us, worry every day. Like, how are you all coping?

#ClimateDiary The Times today, Saturday 25th July. Sums up this moment perfectly: the world is on fire, but the right and supporting media relentlessly push through their anti #NetZero agenda. I wonder whether extreme weather events this year and next - climate emergency in full swing! - will make any difference to current policy momentum. I fear not. But who knows. Burnham on #Rosebank will be indicative.

#FollowTheMoney 🧵 97/n As Gary says again and again: the only way out of this is #WealthTax. Governments have to address massive inequality not just for everyone’s wellbeing, but also to regain some power. And we need to bring all those assets now owned by the wealthy (water, energy, education, everything) back into public ownership. As the rich have long known: it is ALL about who controls assets.

#RegenerativeAnthropology Teaching is a prime site for practicing and thinking through what #RegenerativeAnthropology might look like. For us, #RegenerativePedagogy has to be about the whole person, and include critique, practice and wisdom. A) Critique. Fostering critical thinking is the mainstay of anthropology and university teaching as a whole, and indeed, it is more vital than ever: the world needs people who question the status quo and understand power. 1/n
