Welcome to week 03 of “All Our Yesterdays – 365 climate histories.”
This was the week that we hit triple figures on Twitter (thanks to followers – goal remains 2k by the end of the year).
It is ALSO the week that Chloe and I chose the February blog posts (via a yet-to-be-perfected online system) AND that I narrated the rough drafts of the entire month of February on a couple of walks/yomps.
So, progress.
And it is also the week I read an impressive book by Alice Bell – “Our Greatest Experiment” AND learnt some new “digital humanities” tricks (around turning things into searchable pdfs).
What you may have missed in the last week on the site
Stuff about corporate lobbying, not showing leadership, gambling and losing… the usual..
What I’ve been reading/watching/listening to
Brilliant piece by James Meek from the London Review of Books (July 2021) abt the political economy of those wonderful offshore wind turbines (who builds them, where, under what conditions?)
What’s coming up in the next week on the site
Antarctica breaking up, a brilliant guest post by Hugh Warwick, and a “no regrets”
What’s coming up in the next week in the real world
26 2pm EAC on “net zero aviation and shipping”
