- Rupert joins other distinguished speakers in the 'Planning for a Future Beyond 1.5°C' session to explore the non-linear effects of warming beyond 1.5°C, which will require radical new approaches that are innovative and out-of-the-box to mitigate impacts, transform finance, and redefine policy and business strategies in a rapidly changing climate.

Across the UK in communities, workplaces and wherever they have power, people from all walks of life are organising the kinds of serious climate action that will make governments take notice. The Climate Majority Project is a rallying place for citizen climate action. We help projects to grow, get funding, and connect with as many willing hands as possible. ClimateMajorit...

Thank you for your efforts, Rupert.
If you’ve read The Ministry for the Future you’d see how the hope for the future is a restoration economy measured and rewarded by positive action. The policy is called the Global Carbon Reward. Developed by Dr Delton Chen it’s introduced in Chapter 42. What are we waiting for?
I thought we were going to rise to the challenge during the pandemic. A non-human enemy we could fight together without bias, but the opposite happened.
We don't stand a chance under 🧢-italism. With a bit of luck something transmittable will take the vast majority of the population out too.
All luxuries would have to be strictly rationed, all non-essential jobs discontinued, non-essential travel using fuel banned, mostly vegan diet enforced, etc. but you know as well as I that people would rather go extinct. In a parallel universe, if I had the ability to enforce the changes, I would in a heartbeat. Label me an ecofascist idc.
Here in the U.S,. Trump & MAGA simply used the pandemic to further polarize the populace, eroding trust in government & democracy, and thereby inflaming their base.
Adaptability is inversely proportional to the level of specific adaptation. We are very highly adapted to environments that are rapidly disappearing or becoming unsustainable and until we can surrender our current adaptations we will have no capacity to adapt to the new situation. Experience suggests we will not give up those adaptations until forced to by direct necessity. The whole point of a civilization is stability and it resists change until collapse.
Oh god. Whenever i hear the word 'investment' in green issues, my shoulders slump. Investment obviously implies a profit motive. It didn't always. It used to mean taking a (calculated) risk. These days it means guaranteed profit by multinationals...
We are past 3c now.This is the fastest extinction in world history!
