This is what the most recent Global Burden of Disease data say for the UK (purple all causes; green is chronic (non-communicable) disease)) @MartinW93129709 :

It was a genuine pleasure to spend time with him and his team. 8/8

The authority of this particular critique of growth doesn't rest on abstract cultural privilege but on @PresidentIRL's own struggle against poverty in post-war County Clare and his longstanding political opposition to oppression, violence and injustice over many decades 7/8

And this #crypower podcast with @Hozier portrays a man, not adrift from his times as some would claim, but deeply and passionately committed to social change and to improving the prospects for future generations. 6/8 youtube.com/watch?v=nMNK6BHL…

His speech critiquing our obsession with #economicgrowth and our persistent neglect of #socialjustice, #community, #ecology and #solidarity with each other and other species bore all the hallmarks of a consisently inspiring leader 2/8 youtube.com/watch?v=W_a5FFHl…

It was an absolute privilege to visit Áras an Uachtaráin last week and meet with #MichaelDHiggins @PresidentIRL on the occasion of the 20th birthday celebration of @TASCblog - the Thinktank for Action on Social Change. 1/8

Delighted to announce the Danish edition of Post Growth. Verden Efter Væksten was published yesterday by Forlaget @Hovedland. hovedland.dk/bog/verden_efte…

Absolutely wouldn't quibble with @KevinClimate's 'fair' UK budget. #zerocarbonsooner makes clear that the 2.4Gt is a conservative estimate. I also calculate a lower value of 0.8 Gt (see Footnote 11) on stronger assumptions. Kevin's estimate definitely in range.

On consumption (footprint) basis, the target should be even sooner. Immediate cuts in the region of 75-140 MtCO2 (several times those seen during lockdown) are needed to put us back on track. 3/3

'Fair' carbon budget for the UK is around 2.4 billion tonnes. On territorial basis, trend emissions pathway would exhaust that budget by 2028. Linear pathway to 2050 would still overshoot massively. We should be aiming for zero carbon as early as mid-2030s. 2/3
