Health&climate change
During this 4thWave vaccinated Vs. unvaccinated[mfn]breakthrough-case statistics: where are they? Governments & the media are strangely quiet on the subject, while free movement choices for the now statistical minority of not-infected-by-people/vaccines are being limited in favour of majority-economic-mitigation (maximising VAT, Income Tax, Corporation Tax, &c.; minimising NHScosts, Unemployment Benefit, and
COP26 analysis
COP-in or out? Looking back on the Glasgow results gives an equivocal picture of where people are at and where we're being directed (&by whom). As has been said so often, we're really only in control of that which we can do to abolish er... neutralise er... mitigate the CO2e emissions
Sea levels rising
Using cutting-edge global elevation and population data, scientists have applied different scenarios of global warming to see where communities are most vulnerable within the next 200 to 2,000 years.[mfn]A previous look at this subject in Europe was called the Atlantis Project 2014.

Just do it, RIGHT?!
We've been talking about the New Normal since the first statistical decreases in this pandemic's infections/hospitalisations/deaths. "Enough talking," say I. Surely for Findhorn Ecovillagers and their supporters the "New Normal" can't really be called cutting edge any more... Heck, if you're having difficulty doing the New Normal[mfn] I'm thinking of
Flooding CO2emissions
On the initiative of the World Weather Attribution (WWA), an international team has made a first attribution study to answer the question whether the risk of severe weather due to climate change, such as the heavy rainfall of 14 and 15 July, has increased. The floods started in the United
IPCC Report Aug/21
In a new report released on 9th August, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warns that unless there are immediate, rapid and large-scale reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, limiting warming to close to 1.5°C or even 2°C will be beyond reach. In the past, the world listened but did

#GENERATIONRESTORATION: Ecosystem restoration for people, nature and climate RESTORE ECOSYSTEMS TO TACKLE CLIMATE CHANGE, SAVE SPECIES FROM EXTINCTION AND SECURE OUR FUTURE. It's all interconnected like we are. Sorry about that, Separatists! We need to slash greenhouse gas emissions by nearly half by 2030 to hold global warming below 2°C
Bill Gates, climate & economics
Happy Easter to you all. May the light of this season empower our every thought, word and deed going forward in this challenging time. Here's a good, 3min review of Bill Gates' book: How to Avoid a Climate Disaster, the solutions we have and the breakthroughs we need. [click on
Climate motivation
During our first virtual AGM at the beginning of the month (thanks to all PETmembers for joining us for an enjoyable and informative hour) mention was made of a speech by Paul Hawken.[mfn]Paul Hawken is a renowned entrepreneur, visionary environmental activist, and author of many books, most recently Blessed Unrest:
Food for (climate) thought
As lockdown is being loosened and we refill the social and economic[mfn]or is it economic and social[/mfn] vacuum, here's some food for thought on going back to our (new?) normal routines and choices. There is plenty of evidence that climate change is already affecting our food system. Imports of avocados,
Climate fare
The food sector, which includes farming, silvopasture, agroforestry, grazing, food waste, and dietary choices—is one of the two largest contributors to global warming, the other being transport. As a solution, it has the potential to be the largest sector in terms of its contribution. It can not only reduce and

This makes for an interesting read. Enjoy.
