"The #climate we live in today is the least extreme climate you will experience in your lifetimes because of ongoing fossil fuel emissions."

This week’s #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds gave me the heebie-jeebies… Horror is not usually my bag but it really enjoyed the episode! This week was *not* as family friendly as last week! #StarTrekSNW Season 4 rankings: 1. Griffin Incident 8.0 2. Valles Maineris 7.8

Op-Eds like this absolutely disgust me, but are perfect examples of why the whole thing is broken. What an absolute privileged blinkered opinion platformed on a national media rag. So long as he and his mates are alright, enjoying new British wines, I guess. The rest of us can burn.

it's the "just lie back and enjoy it" of climate denial

In reference to the commenter on this post: Calling a decolonial educator and communicator a ‘revisionist’ is a new one to me - but perhaps not surprising if I think about it. Anyway, I exercised my right-of-reply in the comments myself 👇

Good journalism doesn't just hold power to account. It also asks whose voices are absent from the conversation. Kit Marie Rackley reflects on the lessons of Norwich Pride.

"A US government map of Africa mislabeled every country during a state department presentation at a global conference in Brazil this week, causing a stir among attenders who took screenshots and posted them online."

Norwich Pride took place against a backdrop of debate over LGBTQ+ rights, safeguarding and public policy. But what did the event itself reveal? Kit Marie Rackley offers a perspective rooted in lived experience. @eastangliabylines.co.uk @geogramblings.com

Ignore the media: Norwich Pride was people celebrating

What was the real story of Norwich Pride? It wasn't the controversy. It was the people at its heart.

A #NaturalHistoryGCSE should not become just another exam about nature. It should centre field journals, local places, inclusive access, ecological literacy and school climate action plans. My consultation response is now up.

GroundEd: CPD That Breathes

A personal reflection on GroundEd, a two-day regenerative education gathering at the Homestead in Northumberland. This post explores what happened when CPD moved outside, slowed down, made space for nature connection, climate action, teacher wellbeing, community, music, humour, and the messy but necessary work of imagining education differently.

Schools must update their safeguarding training every year. Yet the Government's latest statutory guidance still says nothing about climate change, even as children sit in classrooms above 40°C during heatwaves. Kit Marie Rackley reports #EduSky

That language is a safeguarding red flag to me. It might have been unintentional, but climate-illiterate and trauma-uninformed education staff can cause emotional harm. I wrote an evidence-informed piece on ‘treasonable responsibility’ for school staff here: geogramblings.com/2026/02/01/c...

The headteacher's response started with "thank you for your communication whilst we enjoy this hot weather" When schools value attendance records over the safety of their pupils, they cannot be trusted with said pupils

The Government knows climate change will affect schools. Its own research says so. So why have ministers left it out of the new statutory safeguarding guidance? Kit Marie Rackley reports #EduSky

New school safeguarding guidance has a climate blind spot

The latest safeguarding guidance has some strengths, but its silence on climate risk leaves schools to join the dots themselves

Climate change isn't just an environmental issue. Teachers are reporting children feeling ill and unable to concentrate in overheated classrooms. So why has the Government failed to recognise it in new safeguarding guidance for schools? #EduSky @eastangliabylines.co.uk @geogramblings.com

Hard to think of a more deeply damaging start to Burnham’s premiership than giving green light to new oil & gas in N. Sea, if true. It won’t lower bills or lead to greater energy security but will drive an even hotter planet. What a terrible signal to give to rest of the world #ClimateVandalism
