#parentingonearth is out today! Here’s a quick 🧵 on why I needed to write it & what it says. I’d taught, researched & written about climate justice for years. I knew it mattered, well before I had kids. But when I did, the whole thing become searingly personal… (1/ )
For all the usual reasons, I'm not in this place much anymore. May pop on occasionally with any big news, but would love to see you all on LinkedIn tinyurl.com/5n7tswh9 or Insta instead instagram.com/eb_cripps/ #climatejustice #parentingandclimate #climateethics #climatechange
Looking forward to this next week. Anyone welcome to join. #parenting #climatechange

It creates a precedent for legal accountability, demonstrating that courts can compel governments to act under constitutional and human rights law.

In a world that was not insane, a 20% drop in butterflies would be a national new story and would provoke horror and a national movement to restore them. But not in this world of money and bullshit.
Our paper is out. And it is distressing.

Climate change is taking the places we love. Spreading awareness about climate change is one of the best ways to fight it.

#HeathrowExpansion won’t deliver growth. Business demand is falling & more tourists leave than arrive. But it *will* trash climate commitments, drive more extreme weather, noise & air pollution & only benefit frequent flying super-emitters - the 15% who take 75% of flights 🙄

The court ruling that #Rosebank oilfield is unlawful is a fantastic victory and a huge milestone towards a liveable planet and away from polluting fossil fuels. Our full reaction below 👇
