A 1968 paper commissioned by the American Petroleum Institute warned that burning #FossilFuels would drive up temperatures.
Forgotten for decades, the research was rediscovered & is now playing a key role in climate lawsuits against #BigOil.

Sometimes a cartoon comes along that captures things so well. Thank you @Adenecartoon for this ...

Celebrations at E-Hive pop-up HUB Beacon Centre last night. Coordinators, volunteers, friends came together to celebrate a successful project to facilitate eco conversations with the public & bringing groups together. Almost the end of the 6 week trail period #climatejusticenow

In response to the unilinear story of destruction in this piece, I am doing a little mini-series on examples of positive, more complex and dynamic human/biodiversity interactions for each day of #COP15 over on #mastodon - come over to find out more 😊

Good piece, but as a historical ecologist I would like to add: humans do not just either stay within boundaries or destroy nature. It's often been a positive, dynamic human-nature symbiosis, with humans actively shaping and creating forests & biodiversity

Video: Crisis, development and ecologies of the new commons
Watch the recording from our event with @Anthropogo @_almendrina & @EmiliaMelville - discussing the value, joys & challenges of commoning, from 'open' seeds to community housing, and much more.

*Breaking news* the first @InsulateLove protesters to be tried by a jury have all been acquitted of public nuisance, despite the trial judge refusing mention of climate change or fuel poverty. Remember: if you are on a jury, you have an absolute right to acquit for any reason!

It was really great to learn from @mew1oo about his work with @Article25 in Dominica, helping build storm and earthquake resilient new houses. And about the traditional architectures of the indigenous Kalinago people of the Caribbean, which largely survived the storms
Fascinating talk today in our Beacon E-Hive, by one of our volunteers, describing how he went to Dominica, a Carribbean island ravaged by hurricanes, to help design & rebuild homes to be more #ClimateResilient.

Yesterday, some of the best of humanity came together on the Aldersbrook in Ilford to uncover a river so choked in plastic & rubbish it had ceased to flow. With a day of difficult & tiring work, they managed to uncover the river & begin bringing it back to life.

"Anti-oil fanatic". Every time I see a headline like this - so misleading, spiteful, stupid, damaging - I just want to cry. I hate living a world where our collective consciousness, mainstream media, is so out of sync with reality.
This person knew they would likely go to prison. These are the facts: Emissions are growing not slowing. Scientists warn of the possible permanent collapse of our food & water supply & of civilisation itself. Newspapers hardly ever put the science on the front pages #JustStopOil

Some new worrying study about climate change... permafrost melting, feedback loops... but ooooh what's this! Yay cheap flights 😍

Every child deserves the chance to connect with nature.
That's why we're raising money for our Orchards for Schools programme which offers free trees and hedgerows to some of the nation's most tree-deprived schools #NationalTreeWeek

It was great hosting @PSutoris's at Goldsmiths Anthropology last week. Both paper and discussion were really stimulating - Peter is using ethnographic research so effectively to move education/activism conversations forward. And I loved this last slide!
In the last few weeks, I've been giving public talks about the new book #Educating for the #Anthropocene. I was asked lots of interesting questions about the book's arguments and will be posting some of them along with my answers here. Here's the first question, about #activism.

Back from usual school drop off mayhem: the day can’t come soon enough that we see moving around with a 2 ton metal box around us wherever we go as just as crazy as those medieval metal armours

Yesterday I joined @ScientistX to resist the government’s #AttackOnNature in an act of civil disobedience.
With about 20 other scientists, I pasted key information on the windows of @DefraGovUK, the department of the environment

Educating for the #Anthropocene, my new book, is now also available Open Access, entirely for free! You can access it at: direct.mit.edu/books/oa-mono… I'm also looking for people to do a review of the book, let me know if interested and I can get a free review hard copy mailed to you!
