I love your work, not sure if you are familiar with Nate Hagens? His latest interview with Dougald Hine was exceptional. I feel I have a better understanding of the limits of science in our polycrisis: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpUb...

It costs $100,000/yr to house one of my criminal clients in a remand centre vs. $30,000/ to given them low income housing. We prefer to warehouse these largely alcohol addicted people in jails. But this system employs plenty of sheriffs and probation officers and court staff.

Just one foot of sea level rise would claw back 100 feet of land and destroy the port in this photo. That one foot will arrive sooner than 2070. The International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration gave us 3-5 years on the Thwaites headwall back in 2021. Things are not looking good.

I say these same things to my friends and their only reply is that, "they have been saying this for years." I reply that the ITGC warned us in 2021, we have 3-5 years to prepare. I'm horrified that the true urgency was lost in that message. Merci pour ces postes!

I was enormously proud to be introduced to this fellow Canadian. Thanks for all your efforts in trying to guide us through this unfolding crisis.

Please ask Kris van Steenbergen (and Larry) to join Blue Sky? He is the only reason I keep a Twitter account, and I would like to delete Twitter.

And Tiny Homes - how about we make our properties more communal instead of just massive houses with vacant space? Still working on local counsel to even consider this option.

Rain water barrels - get your neighbours used to using them and hopefully they will add more (incentives from Town to buy rain water barrels). Public gardens, seed libraries, repair cafes. Walking paths to grocery stores encourage people to walk or bike and feel safe.

Circular economy, not growth economy. In my own life I try to understand circular options, what can I raise or produce that is circular? Harvesting rain water, hatching and raising quails for eggs and meat. Leaving my lawn grow tall and scything my own hay for rabbits. Compost, mulch. Circular

Growing up in the 70s and 80s, both my parents drove land yachts. The cars were massive. Then fuel efficiency became important and cars were smaller, briefly. Then the SUV market took over and cars are massive again. Easily as big as the land yachts of the 70s and 80s.

I've given a lot of thought to your last Frankly that compared "activism" with "effectivism." I would love to hear an interview between Nate and Roger Hallam on this issue. Back in the day Dougald Hine would have been considered "radical" and I valued hearing his roundtable insights.

Definitely true. Makes cycling to work effortless because I don't arrive sweaty needing to change. And my morning commute was so stunning (when I lived in Calgary)!! I live in a smaller town now and routinely walk to work in 10 minutes. I only cycled this summer when it was too hot to walk!
