Would it be controversial to talk about research into a medicine that could save lives? So would it be controversial to talk about research into technologies that could help lower the extreme temperature of the planet? Here is my writing on geo-engineering this week. substack.com/home/post/p-...

In a week of extreme heat, can we talk about geo-engineering?

When will [X climate impact] reach a tipping point? “We can say 20 to 30 years. It’s enough time that any normal politician can think: ‘Not my problem,’ but it’s not enough time for someone who’s aged any less than 60 to ignore it.” The temporal paradox of climate breakdown

I can’t quite believe we’re here but we are - as @charliejgardner.bsky.social says - fascinating conversation, tragic situation. I often just think what the actual fuck how could we get to this point?!

Fabulous piece Alanna! Totally agree x

I want to ask you to reflect on a basic human experience of wanting to fit in, and how, in many parts of culture, why we don't grow out of those immature behaviours, and how action on climate has been caught up in this - including calls for Climate Justice clarejfarrell.substack.com/p/is-climate...

Is Climate Justice possible? Part 3

Justice requires elder wisdom and a willingness to be vulnerable, not an immature willingness to fit in at any cost.

Last night I watched Mean Girls, and it made me realise quite a lot about climate justice. It's a teen comedy but it's good! It says a lot about human behaviour, consumerism, and how our sense of safety is woven with our sense of identity. Part 2 of 3: clarejfarrell.substack.com/p/is-climate...

Is Climate Justice possible? Part 2

Mean Girls and memetic desire have helped me understand what happens when you try to change someone's mind about justice.

Let me just say, I'm not trying to start a fight! Even if the algorithm wants it... but I do think there's an important conversation to have around where we're at with "climate justice" in a time of almost certain collapse. Wld love you to read and share x clarejfarrell.substack.com/p/is-climate...

Nothing makes sense any more when nonviolent dissent is made a false equivalence with erasing an entire people. Please share before Monday, when doing so could be illegal and end you up in prison. With love and support for @palaction.bsky.social 🇵🇸 open.substack.com/pub/clarejfa...
