Walking underneath a #glacier in a proglacial lake. Extraordinary experience today!

I don't listen back to my podcasts, esp. full-length, but I've just listened to the hosts' intro which emphasises the *hope* in our climate discussion.

And "gentle on the outside, fierce on the inside" is one of my favourite compliments, from one of the people I most admire 💙💙

Being first @UKParliament Thematic Research Lead (Climate & Environment) has been a huge honour and I've learned so much.

As one of my last projects, we've just published a @commonslibrary Insight "Understanding uncertainty in climate change predictions"

commonslibrary.parliament.uk Understanding uncertainty in climate change predictions Predictions of the future effects of climate change must make assumptions about human decisions, describe a complex world, and include natural climate variation.

This was fun - though I did fight the premise of the podcast by insisting on hope :) Some of the most thoughtful questions I've had in a podcast. Thanks @giagia and Timotheus Vermeulen
