Universities must be supported to lead on climate action
One critical public investment we can make to reduce devastating future societal costs is to dramatically increase third-level funding

Wildfires in Europe so far this summer have led to Spain's deadliest in decades, with temperature anomalies peaking around +9°C in France and Germany and a high of 45.1°C in southern Spain. But how is the UK 'fire wave' after its first 'megafire' that burnt for four days in Dava Moor in May? 1/n

Not just that people focus on this, but they focus on it to the exclusion of almost everything else! Like the amount of f'ing language analysis from the left & academia *dwarfs* the amount of, say, *power* analysis. Y'know ... power? Anyone? Power?

Researchers said they tried to manage how their activism was perceived by clarifying their expertise and acting alongside other scientists.

The Nakba never ended. It is ongoing today. But so is the Palestinian resistance.

Totally agree. Educators have a sad duty to perform, at all levels. Imperial College has an optional non-credit bearing course on climate change - but it's very shallow. Plus, it has its head in the sand when it comes to techno-fixes. Are we doing our students a disservice? Join us on Tuesday...
