We then explored the rest of the River Fleet, contemplating London's relationship to colonialism and climate change across time through the hidden waterway. Together, we are weathering climate pasts and present whilst attempting to make different futures #weatheringwater

Protests work.The Nomad has resigned from #GCMResources. If GCM don’t have a new nomad by January 2021, they’ll have to cease trading. Nomads don’t usually drop companies. Whilst London Stock Exchange @LSEplc fails us, our persistent campaigners #PhulbariSolidarity help us win✌

📛 @Barclays are the largest funder of fossil fuels in Europe. We headed to their regional HQ and various branches & ATMs around Newcastle over the weekend to let them know that this isn’t acceptable. See https://t.co/oV0I3sgTa9 for more info 🦈 @money_rebellion @sharklays

Throughout this project we’ve also been interested in how weather is represented culturally. Easy to do for 1816 (plenty of books, newspapers, paintings) but hard for 2080. Often future climate is shown in apocalyptic terms, but how will the people of 2080 view their own weather?

Very proud of our rebel Chris for going on @talkRADIO this evening to face an overly hostile Dan Wootton. Point made exceptionally it’s just a shame Dan didn’t want to listen !! 👏
Chris in Newcastle supports Extinction Rebellion's protest at the Cenotaph: "Climate change will cause war if it isn't solved". Dan Wootton: "You're a warmongering nutter". @danwootton

2080 was chosen as it’s the furthest forward the UKCP18 models produce projections for (and hence apparently the furthest we can imagine, although well within the lifespan of people alive today) [3/8]

When @unicamcareers invited the world's third largest weapons manufacturer to entice @Cambridge_Uni's students into working for them, we asked "what is the average number of murders perpetrated per employee across @BAESystemsplc?" Seems quite relevant.
