This is fundamentally about justice. Small island states face total uninhabitability. 5 billion depend on monsoons we're destabilizing. Those who contributed least to the crisis face the worst impacts.

Any solution that doesn't center equity, human rights & community governance isn't a real solution.

We need BOTH: emergency brake on catastrophic tipping points + accelerator on positive ones.
Listen to full episode—it'll change how you see this moment.

Strongest lever for change? Policy mandates with hard deadlines.
Ban petrol car sales by [date]. Require heat pumps over gas boilers. Phase out fossil fuel subsidies.

Clear signals coordinate investment, R&D, and entire supply chains instantly. Much faster than waiting for markets alone.

Social tipping matters too: visible, copied behaviours like cycling, plant-rich diets, and community-led restoration. When normal shifts, systems shift.

What's horrifying about this graph is that we're emitting CO2 from fossil hydrocarbons NOW at four times the rate we were when I was a child, and twice the rate we were in 1972, when we already knew that #ClimateChange was an existential problem.

While we're on this topic,

> "More than 1,600 fossil fuel lobbyists have been granted access to the Cop30 climate negotiations in Belém, significantly outnumbering every single country’s delegation apart from the host Brazil"

There surely must be enough trees left in the Amazon rain forest to hang them all.

“After the ICJ advisory opinion and the well-document six-decade playbook of climate obstruction, states at Cop should recognize the irreconcilable conflict of interest of the fossil fuel industry – which is similar to the tobacco industry,” said Elisa Morgera, the UN special rapporteur for climate change who supports a global ban on fossil fuel lobbying

Fossil fuel lobbyists outnumber all Cop30 delegations except Brazil, report says

One in every 25 participants at 2025 UN climate summit is a fossil fuel lobbyist, according to Kick Big Polluters Out

Faltering governments will be blamed for famine and conflict abroad, and face stagnation and inflation at home, says climate chief at start of Cop30

I've pushed a couple of new essays up to my blog this morning. They're neither of them fully finished, although they've both been in progress a while; I'm publishing them now to gather comment and criticism.

The first is 'Building Lifeboats' -- building resilient, survivable communities in the face of impending disaster.

@neonsnake I really enjoyed your thread and it’s important we improve our society. Finding a way to transition that isn’t just “wait for climate collapse and then do better” . I’m still listening and reading and hoping. @simon_brooke

@dch @neonsnake We're all hoping. But unless we're also all preparing and building community and campaigning to end carbon production, that hope is unlikely to be fulfilled.

I hope something can be salvaged, and that's what I'm working on. I'm not at all confident that we'll succeed.

If you have a PhD in the Natural Sciences, you may want to consider putting your name to this declaration prior to COP30 this November

Global Tipping Points

The Dartington Declaration - Global Tipping Points

The Dartington Declaration has emanated from scientific meetings held at Dartington Hall in England, and then a statement agreed at the Global Tipping Points Conference, on 30 June – 3 July 2025. It was revised to capture the main findings of the Global Tipping Points Report 2025. The report, written by 160 authors from 87 […]
