#ClimateDiary. I am marking and marking - at the moment, blogs students wrote for Urban Political Ecology.

This final sentence just now is so good I have to share it here:

“The next time you are walking through a city on a hot day, do not just look for a tree. Ask yourself why it was planted there, who is allowed to sit under it, and who is still standing out in the sun.”

#ClimateDiary ‘Homes may have to be abandoned’: how climate crisis has reshaped Britain’s flood risk

This is really worth reading - captures local people’s experiences of #Flooding, clearly centres #FossilFuel burning as a core cause of increases, and also introduced me to a new, useful term that i have to log here: #ClimateNegligence

#ClimateDiary After a year or more of “post-activism” I have had a bit of a turning point this week: i became a “Relationships Officer” of my newly reborn local #GreenParty (Eastbourne), am part of the Exec and instantly linked into mobilising around the #gortonbyelection. Getting Hannah Spencer elected would be amazing!

On a personal note: you feel so much better when you are doing something.

#ClimateDiary Storm #Chandra in UK, extreme winter storm in US, above 48°C in Australia, a suppressed UK national security report on ecosystem collapse: yep, things really are in full swing. #ClimateChange

@Geri

Same here - north-west France - lots of 'spring' flowers out now, even camellias.
It's not right, is it ?

#ClimateDiary Just yesterday i remembered listening to an interview with Abby Martin about this documentary, wondering whether it’s out now - a must watch in these times

#ClimateDiary Just realised fhat I still needed to officially introduce #Assholocene here to #ClimateDiary (as a term that needs noting)

I thought this was coined by you,
@muellertadzio, along with the equally pertinent #arschlochgesellschaft, but now googled it and not sure who invented it? At any rate: best descriptor of our age to me! Trump, SUVs, private jets, fascism, climate denial, anti net zero mobilising, Venezuela and all.

#ClimateDiary Morning walk to shops seeing debris of storm #Goretti everywhere i was musing all the small ways in which our lives are crumbling, getting harder than they used to be (for some reason pinning this on Woody Allen films, privileged couples casually having dinner together in restaurants as if it’s nothing - that world, always for the few, doesn’t exist any more) - then saw this wall and thought it was apt! #TheCrumble #CollapseDiary
