Despair is not just wrong. It's irrational. Things can change, at astonishing speed. In fact, the flip might be happening already. My article for the Guardian's climate support campaign. www.theguardian.com/membership/2...
Don’t despair about what’s happening to our planet. That’s what they want you to feel
There are social tipping points when the seemingly impossible suddenly becomes inevitable. Good journalism plays an essential role in helping drive these shifts and shows us how real change can happen

You may have seen I broadcast a message to planet Earth from the edge of space. I thought it was equally important to speak to deep space about you and your lovely little planet. But I thought humans might like to see it too, so here it is. #Clacton #VoteBinface

Ecosystems are the only effective form of carbon capture we have, and are essential if we're to get atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gasses back down to safe levels But the more we let the heating rip, the less able to do that they'll be In time they'll collapse, and our hopes with them
Annie Leymarie@annieleymarie.bsky.social · 5d ago"The capacity of European forests to absorb and store carbon is likely to have decreased by 39% in the period 2010 to 2030. This is due to disturbances that far outpace the ability of forests to naturally regrow and recover. Europe can increase its forest area but still lose carbon sink capacity."

I know he has a lot on, but in the midst of a ferocious drought, fires, heat events and severe threats to food production, it would be quite edifying to hear Andy Burnham mention climate breakdown.
