As a science communicator I’ve kept out of politics until now. This moment seems too urgent to simply offer facts and evidence. I think we all have to join the dots, identify implications and support positive actions. Do what we can with what we have today!

I did a meditation a few days ago while travelling outside of the Australian town of Tenterfield. I opened my eyes to this. Now cropped for phone wallpaper, I’m taking it as a sign. In 1972 Peter Allen released Tenterfield Saddler - “time is a traveller”. Give it a listen youtu.be/ogA-B1MRBkQ?...

Canadian fires in 2023 released more carbon than every country but US/China/India. Driven by "extreme" temps that will be common in 2050s. Example of how physical climate hazards may exacerbate carbon emissions, in a self-reinforcing loop. Bad. #DailyPaper
