Now it’s all faded, and in many ways time has already run out. 1/2

#ClimateDiary My daughter drew this hour glass and stuck it on her window a few years ago, at the height of my and her climate activism, with @parents4future and all. Now it’s all faded, and in many ways time has already run out. 1/2 Yesterday The Lancet published this article "conservatively" estimating that the death toll in the Gaza genocide could be 186,000 people or more. #Gaza https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(24)01169-3/fulltext

#ClimateDiary where i really want to share this graph is in family, friend, neighbourhood, etc WhatsApp groups. Which is what I used to do, 2019-2023. I know, in theory i could just post. But in practice it really does become impossible to keep on doing it for 5 years when the messaging from everyone is clear: we don’t want to hear; you’ve told us before. Deathly silence, every time.

@pvonhellermannn wow... looking at just the first few it sounds so hopeful, but for almost each and every single one I can give an example of how it was disregarded at at least one point in the last decade. |
#ClimateDiary 2/2 I have been struggling in recent months with feeling really hope- and helpless regarding climate action (and much else). But now feel that there is also strength in this realisation, so much still that we can do for each other and the world even when the bigger picture is incredibly bleak. Then yesterday listened to @DarkOptimism talking about #DarkOptimism - and this term captures it perfectly. Thank you, Shaun!
