I've written an article for @ExtinctionR that attempts to make sense of the struggles I experience when I try to talk to friends/family about the #climatecrisis. I hope it'll help others so I'm going to summarise it a bit here #mentalhealth

Phew šŸ’Ŗ. ā€œCoal mining belongs in the past, so hopefully this is the last we’ll hear of it. The UK government now needs to ensure communities right across country aren’t left with choice of high-carbon jobs or no jobs.ā€.

This is the same as the tabloids celebrating ever-growing heatwaves as a chance to get to the beach or top up the tan. Is the plan to continue reporting like this until we're all burned to a crisp? . #BBCNews it is literally your duty to do better than this.

More than 400 experts on climate change have published an open letter to the leaders of the UK’s political parties, calling for them to adopt an ambitious programme on climate change.
