Last night went to a talk by Kim Stanley Robinson on climate change & in the Q&A a teacher asked how to address her students' climate despair & he responded in part by citing "How to Blow Up a Pipeline" (Malm 2021) - essentially "tell them to keep the felonies to a minimum" - ThreadSky

I am a huge KSR fan. Was fortunate to listen to him at the Utopiales in Nantes, France, last year. And got a signed copy of The Ministry for the Future...

I love KSR

Oops. I should have set my alarm for that talk. Tell us more if you have time, please!

This was a small gathering of climate-concerned folks hosted by the Davis UU church, organized by Cool Davis - Rita Hoskings opened singing songs like "R-Value" (actually a lovely song). KSR lives in Davis.

Thank you Sara. I must drop him a line as I won't seemingly be able to access the recording. I wish I'd known that he lived there when we were down there a few months ago, showing #TheClimateRestorers episode 1 on methane. You're lucky to have him there, he's prescient. https://www.theclimaterestorers.com

Rita Hosking's songs from the album "Climate Country" can be streamed free from her website - highly recommend

Another thing I remember KSR addressed was the question of whether we should continue holding the COPs, and he was pro, saying though imperfect they are necessary (not a quote)

Oh, I wish I'd known about this one. Would have found a way to be there. Thanks for posting it!
