New cartoon: The RNLI
Cartoon titled “The RNLI: Some of the people they help,” showing six scenarios involving people rescued by the RNLI. Including a man caught by the tide, a YouTuber swimming without preparation, a middle-lane driver, a neighbour with different political opinions, a superyacht owner who forgot to refuel, and people crossing the Channel in a small boat. The final caption reads, “All human beings – all deserve saving.”

Micro-cars appeal to people because they solve mobility without the ridiculous excess of modern vehicle bloat. They get the job done without trapping you in massive debt, and their footprint actually coexists with a dense city rather than actively dominating it. 📸 @electricfelix.eurosky.social

There are two questions these people need to answer: 1. How does a vehicle approaching from behind that is about to hit you sound different from a vehicle approaching from behind that is about to miss you? 2. If it did sound different, what action could a rider take in one second or thereabouts?

Bold action on air pollution works. Take London’s example. After the ULEZ was introduced, new research shows that children’s lung function improved in Central London, catching up to levels outside London.

They knew.


For decades climate scientists have said that continuing to burn fossil fuels would lead to both more wildfires and that they would be increasingly severe. 

Yet politicians - many of whom are still in public office on large taxpayer salaries- dismissed, scorned and ignored these warnings. 

Every bit of new coverage of these fires should be framed as the direct result climate change and political failings. Those who profited by underplaying the danger should be challenged for their complicity in every interview. 

Especially those charlatans who, even now, still claim to be on the side of farmers and the poorest in our society - despite enabling a crisis that will hit those groups hardest.
