For 2100, 77 years from now, the likely range in global temperature increase above the pre-industrial average is 2-4.9°C, with the median 3.2°C. Globally, that is to say, we are set on a course for a barely imaginable catastrophe. As Sir David Attenborough put it, four years ago this month, “It may sound frightening, [...]

Tufton Street: A PoemJacqueline Saphra

Jacqueline Saphra — Thu, 20 Apr 2023 07:00:57 +0000

We gather here in love and rage to tell the story of our age, to ring the bell, to write the page, to raise the roof, rattle the cage, expose the lies, call out the cheats who foster, posture, pant and pitch deadly denial, rank and rich, and peddle death at Tufton Street and [...]

Rupert Read’s Court StatementRupert Read

Rupert Read — Fri, 05 Nov 2021 12:32:13 +0000
