Colorado has already reintroduced lynx & wolves & is now proposing to reintroduce another carnivore, the wolverine. It's definitely time we got lynx back in Scotland and also started preparing for a later reintroduction of wolves - we need apex predators!

Why do so many politicians forget that there is no society, no economy, no humanity on a dead planet. Climate stability & biodiversity is essential to everything. To everyone.

Important read on the trend toward liberal antiracism (with similar parallels in feminism, environmentalism, etc) that is fixated with individual behavior and outcomes while ignoring the systemic infrastructures of oppression and harm, let alone considering their dismantlement
My new piece in the @guardian on why liberal antiracists - with their emphasis on correcting vocabulary, diversity training, and unconscious biases - are powerless against today's structures of racism.

When did you wake up to the scale of the climate and ecological emergency? What happened? What changed for you? What person did you become when you truly faced into the possibilities of a future world ravaged because of our actions?
Does anyone feel like the uk is an episode of black mirror? Corrupt government, polluted waterways, austerity, increasing poverty gap... no wonder people aren't focused on the climate crisis, they are just trying to survive the tories!

What's happening to Antarctic sea ice extent isn't getting enough global media attention. And by "enough" I mean none. Nothing. This ongoing and dramatic collapse is completely absent from today's news.
Yesterday's sea ice extent was 4.02σ below the 1991-2023 mean (1-in-34,000).

I was recently challenged by a friend to be braver on the climate crisis. It's sat with me & brought up conflicted feelings.
Regardless, I think there's no harm in all of us trying to be even just 1% braver every week.
Things like this help. Courage calls to courage 👉🏽
