Yay! The inimitable @annasturman.bsky.social is here now!
Stomach churning to see so much budget discussion focused on what some feeble tax changes will do to house prices, when people are living like this man - not eating, unable to pay rent + struggling. Bravely seeking help gets thoughts and prayers, and referrals to prohibitively expensive specialists
This also creates a dependency loop where cuts to public science capacity entrench the need for scientists to maintain industry partnerships, often with the very fossil fuel companies receiving generous subsidies. Public benefit is lost but we still pay for the science and tech
Excellent article from @mattdjryan.bsky.social on Australian climate policy - tracing how the limits of social democracy are compounded by the climate crisis.
A very beautiful copy of the @the-breakdown.bsky.social issue 3 has arrived! It includes my piece on geoengineering and climate repair, alongside a wonderful collection of essays. Strange to read it in the place it was written six months ago, when so much has already changed.
My attempt at thinking through climate repair as a latent possibility emergent within (but by no means guaranteed by) the overshoot conjuncture, in issue 3 of @the-breakdown.bsky.social
Can confirm that @natashaheenan.bsky.social sees the shape of climate politics in an entirely original way.
This piece challenged me to see technologies of geoengineering, and our role in shaping the planet past & future, in a different light
Out now in Issue 3 of @the-breakdown.bsky.social

I wrote for @the-breakdown.bsky.social about an ancient chapel in Essex, a dormant nuclear plant, and plans to build a new one - a story that reveals how new faultlines opening up in British climate politics, between conservation and decarbonisation, might not be so new after all.

"While we cannot simply 'fix' the climate through a feat of engineering, humans also cannot abstain from producing the climate, just as we produce the rest of nature."
