An excellent email I just received. I feel like this has copypasta potential.

An email that reads:

You climate alarmists are insufferable, insisting everyone follow YOUR lifestyle.
Setting us all up for global totalitarianism, all for the gods of "net zero".

How about you go fuck yourself, mmm-kay? carbon footprints are not going to be reduced, they will be increased in defiance!

This is WAR buddy! many of us do not want your restrictive low carbon lifestyle, and find the pushing of it to be offensive. t is economicalyl destructive, and it's goal is ONLY to collapse ther western world, you fucking TRAITOR!!!

We are nto going to fucking do it buddy, the net zero agenda. We are going to push back, and push back HARD motherfucker!

Fuck off, greenie!

Getting angry at these people is like getting angry at your Sim. It's not their fault that they have collapsed in a puddle of tears instead of making dinner. You have to look at the factors that led them to do that. And fix them.

Had fun singing evensong in St Mary Redcliffe church in Bristol today, a gorgeous 14th century building. Music by Palestrina and Gibbons* * sadly, a human composer

When I announced my half marathon swim I promised that if we raised £5,000 I would get my chest waxed on stream. Well, today we hit £27k. So at 5PM today on twitch.tv/drsimonclark I'll be in extreme discomfort. Be there, have a laugh at my pain, and please donate <3

It's finally the week of my HALF MARATHON SWIM and I'm delighted to say we've now raised over £25,000 for Dorothy House and @cancerresearchuk.org Can we get to my target of £30k before I finish the swim on Thursday afternoon? 🔗 Fundraiser link: www.givewheel.com/fundraising/...

Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed to the fundraiser so far - we've now officially hit £20k! In fact we hit it just before I got in the pool for my longest training swim. If we could hit £30k before the half marathon that would be amazing! www.givewheel.com/fundraising/...

This what we're up against. Reform UK are acting like the thugs of the fossil fuel mafia. It is imperative that the UK does not retreat from it's excellent progress on net zero to date. We started the fossil-fuelled industrial revolution and we can also show the way past it.

Had a great time at the Cult of Paint Miniature Painting Open in Bristol! Seeing some stunning models and chatting to some inspirational painters. Had planned to enter but circumstances didn't allow me to finish in time - two entries for next year I suppose!

Going to join the chorus recommending The Wager. Absolutely devoured it in a few days and I completely agree with the review from the Guardian: it's one of the best non-fiction books I've ever read. A true story that unpicked the lies at the heart of colonialism.

I've nearly finished my watch through of all of Star Trek Voyager (having previously finished DS9 and TNG) and just learned that this cast photoshoot exists. Wtf was going on in the 90s

The cast of Star Trek voyager are portrayed in individual shots holding technological items. Harry Kim is holding a collection of VHS tapes. Chakotay has a webcam on his head. Captain Janeway is in the shower?

I went to see Kyoto at the Soho place and it was fantastic. Simultaneously infuriating and inspiring, it brings UN climate negotiations to life and highlights the genuine heroism of some of the negotiators. Would highly recommend, go see this if you can!
