Ēriks Ešenvalds 'Stars' is so utterly transcendent. I always stops me dead in my tracks, forcing me into stillness and wonder. Such a lovely rendition from @annalapwood. Thank you, as ever, @MannGeorgia and team @BBCRadio3 #EssentialClassics

Replying to @RishiSunak
@RishiSunak you will be pleased to know that @bhlabour have received your note about prioritising cars and they are bringing traffic back to this busy and bustling, pedestrianised street. @TrevMu10 @BellaSankey , you must be delighted to have identical views as Rishi Sunak!

Born #OnThisDay in 1820 was John Tyndall FRS. He published over 147 papers, discovered the Tyndall effect, and his work on glaciology and radiation led him to demonstrate the connection between atmospheric CO2 and heating, or the greenhouse effect. bit.ly/3yn0WU0

Hot take: I don’t want to use or transform my climate anxiety into anything. This western tagline is tired and doesn’t take into account how to have somatic capacity + grief space for uncertainty. Our fears shouldn’t have to fall into the machine of production. They can just be.

Excited to present a sneak preview and guided tour of our new #E_Learning course on #HumanMobility in the context of #ClimateChange. Couldn't think of a better place to share then #ECMN23. We see great possibilities of using the course in combination with classroom teaching.

No surprise the UK is off track to reach its climate targets with the new Cumbrian coal mine, Rosebank on the cards, airport expansion and zero accountability from govt & opposition whose only aim seems to be vilifying the ppl calling out the risks of not bbc.co.uk/news/science-envir…

Of the 36 academic jobs to be cut @uniofeastanglia 31 are in the Humanities. No discipline will be spared, we are told. We have many strengths in HUM. I run the world-famous Creative Writing programme. This is us in Sept 2022 in Zimbabwe, with new writers. @uealdc changes lives.

Beautiful performance ‘Go To Blazes’ from @CoisCeim - delicately weaving together multi sensory immersion, virtual reality and dance. Incredibly moving - was quite taken aback. If can, seek it out. #Bloomsday – at Dublin City, Ireland

Refugee camps are at higher risk of extreme weather – new research

Refugee settlements are particularly affected by high temperatures and extreme rainfall, even more so than the rest of their host countries.

This is getting to be absurd now... there's not even a close historic precedent for how warm the Atlantic Ocean water is. 🥵📈

In 2010 #Brighton Pavilion made history by electing me UK’s 1st Green MP & it’s been the honour of my life. My open letter to residents & friends explains why I’m not standing at next General Election. With love & gratitude, I hope I've done you proud 👇 carolinelucas.com/caroline/p…
