Well.

We had a planet with all we ever needed. The fact that we fucked it up so bad hurts “what scares me the most when faced with the death & disease & exhaustion & pain that comes, is that, unless we stop the #FossilFuel industry from profitably poisoning us to death: this will be the coolest summer”

Beautiful, tragic, wise, hopeful piece about the crisis that is already shaping all our lives, even though many of us still don't know it yet. Worth the time to read, even for those of us who already know... perhaps particularly for those of us who already know. #ClimateSky

“the fact that we fucked this up so hard should hurt”

PLEASE READ: Remarkable context-setting and re-framing for the times that have now arrived. We had notice, we had time to fix this — but we ignored the warnings. The “great burning” is indeed upon us. #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #PlanetaryBoundaries Well done, @patrickgaley.bsky.social

So that's it, is it? We will make chips for fake text generators to delete humans from the economy and make autonomous killing machines and that... equals growth? How are these guys so completely out of ideas? www.ft.com/content/5b78...

This is both beautiful and devastating writing. Please read it and share.

What does this summer of fire and ash mean for people raising the next generation? How can we look to the future with hope and confidence? I wrote this over the weekend for parents struggling to stay positive in the teeth of climate breakdown medium.com/the-new-clim...

"what scares me the most when faced with the death and disease and exhaustion and pain that comes with future heat, is that, unless we stop the fossil fuel industry from profitably poisoning us to death: this will be the coolest summer for the rest of our lives." - @patrickgaley.bsky.social

At this point one has to conclude that the cruelty is deliberate www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

I don't think "despite" is the right preposition here www.ft.com/content/96a3...

Make some time to read this. Maybe make a cup of tea first. (They say that validation - having your fears acknowledged - is part of the process of 'caring' for our climate grief/anxiety. I'm glad I read this today.)

Reading this after the @gregorynorminton.bsky.social piece it quotes and it is searing. For any of us there won't just be one moment of realisation, that we've passed from one state into another. Find ways to help each other through these times. This is one.

Thanks so much Robin! Really happy it resonated

recommended reading for today

Tim I'd be delighted... but I'm not much of a Medium buff. How do I do that? Thanks in advance!

With the great burning upon us, I wrote about what it means to raise the next generation, the one who will not let us be their teachers. I hope it hits with some people. medium.com/@patchgaley/...

Look at the aftermath of the Aliva wildfire, the biggest in Spain's history. Scorched earth, carbonised vegetation. A picture of annihilation from a future hellscape. On our watch youtu.be/u-w7JVTPW7E

The fires are out of control and heading for Bordeaux. What more will it take to burn on our watch? www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

I'll start with that bastard Gianni Infantino's 95,000-kilometre private jet travel generated an estimated 900 to 1,000 tonnes of CO2 during the World Cup Equal to taking over 800 round-trip commercial flights between London & NZ. 1 Kiwi produces about 6.2 tonnes per year
