Is THIS civilisation finished? Looks like it. But what comes next? That’s where you come in…

My new short film OUT OF THE ASHES, written by me & @frannyarmstrong and directed by @ageofstupid animation director Martyn Pick.

#Climate #Cop27 #RealityCheck

This is big news.
The person appointed is widely understood to have played a key role in the (still part-suppressed) National Security Assessment on Ecosystem Collapse.
(Those of us who have been banging the drum on the importance of this over the past year are vindicated by this news.)

In this clip from @TimesRadio’s Week in Review, with Ed Vaizey, our conversation turned to the motion on Zionism passed at the #GreenParty conference, and to the charge that it shows the Greens are now a “racist party”.

Privately, some scientists were more pessimistic (aka realistic). But with hardly any exceptions they wouldn’t break the stubbornly optimistic front that prevailed until recently. Those of us (like myself and @jembendell) who put their heads above the parapet and dared to say that 1.5 was a pipe dream / was going / was gone got attacked.
I’m still open to hearing apologies from those who attacked us for accurately reading the real situation and breaking the silence. None - no such apologies - have been recorded so far.

Your annual reminder that the #climate #CoP system wasn’t designed to work. It was designed to function on a level of symbolism, rather than substance.
