Are we quickly approaching to a point of no return as the global heating outlook keeps getting worse? #warmwinter @GreenRupertRead says the temperatures show the system is badly out of kilter. Watch the full episode: youtu.be/ZIawImS8ACY

A really worthwhile article on Avatar 2: The Way of Water by (film) philosopher and eco-activist @RupertRead: “As some reviews have already emphasised, there is much that is weak in the film, but let that not obscure something inside it that’s so strong.”

"Longtermism’ claims always to look to the future. Yet its obsession with growth and technology — and relative neglect of justice, equality, and planetary boundaries — is merely a fad of today’s Silicon Valley elite." 👇

Persuasive arguments. Catastrophism perhaps. But timely thoughts around #COP27 & #StopTheOil protests. What would change your mind? Via @GreenRupertRead

With the worrying development of monkeypox, now might be a good time to revisit a piece from 2020. Let's hope we've learnt from our mistakes. Let's hope that our governments would, if the situation gets dire, choose precaution over negligence. medium.com/@rupertjread/w…

How we made 'A Timeline Of The Plague Year.’ Great article in @peace_news about how and why @IanJSinclair and I (with editor @stillawake) wrote our #coronavirus timeline detailing the UK Government’s (poor) response. #COVID19 #letdown peacenews.info/blog/9960/how-…

G7 is still pursuing dangerous, unproven, and non-existent technological strategies for tackling climate change, rather than getting serious about cutting emissions. “we will lead a technology-driven transition to Net Zero” g7uk.org/wp-content/upl…


Deepti Gurdasani dismayed that we choose “to wait for rigorous evidence on everything before we act . . . we deal with uncertainty by assuming there isn’t risk." We don't require masses of evidence to act, we should act precautiously with the data we have morningstaronline.co.uk/article/f/deep…

Can we have the precautionary principle applied across the globe to the impending impact of the climate and ecological emergency 🤷🏼‍♂️ This will dwarf the impact of Coronavirus. Our collective poor relationship with nature is facilitating conditions for yet more deadly viruses ☹️


In relation to Covid responses in certain countries, the Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response (IPPPR) concludes that "the precautionary principle was not applied to the early alert evidence when it should have been." swissinfo.ch/eng/pandemic-i…

In complex systems, you must assume 1) you don't know all of the relevant mechanisms at play 2) there is the potential for interactions you don't understand or foresee Failing to acknowledge these amounts to scientism
