The history of this coastline is fascinating.

G-pa has written a little piece about the dilemma between AI use & climate/nature action. I think it deserves some thought & maybe debate. I know he leaned on what you, @michaelemann.bsky.social wrote in New Climate Wars about deflection & individual virtue. I wonder if you think it's a fair take?

Found this amongst the images on my phone. Any artistic merit? Any idea what the hell it’s depicting? If it was ascribed to someone with a name it would probably be worth several million shillings.

Ironically, having £72 million will mean I can spend more money promoting the idea that I'm a man of the people and not just a rich, entitled tosser.

www.carbonbrief.org/factcheck-re...? Exactly what’s needed, these reformorons need calling out. Severely. @michaelemann.bsky.social you must have the same capabilities in your neck of the woods, though maybe it’s more dangerous? But courage and agency is what you guys have.

For me, the granite coastlines are the best, whether it be Morar, Penwith, Scilly, Finisterre, Corsica, Seychelles. ❤️And doubtless many others I’ve never seen.

Over the past 2 millennia people built cathedrals & churches as places to congregate for worship. Also for employment creation, prestige & sanctuary. It seems to me that, although this idea has “lost favour”, stone alignments like these, creating Celtic temples seems a natural precursor to religion.

Definitely stayed out in the sun too long 😂 (4,000+ years ago) Where we’ll all end up if we don’t stop pushing out greenhouse gases into our fragile atmosphere.

Talisker Bay, Skye 19 July 2022. Hottest day ever (yet) recorded in UK at 40.3°C down south. About 16 at Talisker. Not dissimilar in 2026. Turning strange.

Lundy Island, from the Storm Tower, Bude. Which has amazingly been moved twice in its almost 200 year existence due to coastal erosion, most recently in 2024. Lundy has stayed pretty much in the same spot.

Fun, wealth and decadence in a single image. The paddle boarders, the water skiing, the super yacht. I enjoyed a cooling dip followed by a KitKat with tea from my flask. Simple pleasures, watching the world go by.

Currently 78¾ years old I won't live to see how the climate story ends. But watching the real progress already underway – renewables reshaping power, nature's own capacity to recover – I find myself believing & from my perspective knowing it turns out well Beyond my horizon G youtu.be/Q9a_yt6RPyE

A song called "Should we stay?". It's about climate change, migration, family and the dilemmas people face when the place they call home can no longer offer the certainty it once did. The story and characters are fictional, but the pressures they face are real. G
