A quick sketch before tomorrow's lesson: 'Say “no thank you” to patio heaters.'

I haven’t seen many westerns but I’ve seen enough western references to know that many people don’t understand the shootout. Why do they wait? Why don’t they shoot each other immediately?

It’s because the good guy needs to see the bad guy draw first so he can shoot in self defence.

You’re welcome!

The embedded fossil fuel and disease risk moving trees around is insane. Trees grow by themselves.

World Saving Tips You Didn’t Ask For!

I’ll tell you what we do about the climate crisis: Nothing. We do nothing to the land. Put away the lawnmowers, the hedge strimmers, the herbicide and the chainsaws. Stop burning it, pruning it and - for goodness sake - stop ‘tidying it up’. We can still eat meat - we need those tasty grazers between trees, essential to the ecosystem. We must move less - we’ve shown we can do it. Short-haul flights have to stop, cities should go car free. Now is the perfect time. I like parks and fields as much as you do, but they have to be forests now. We may not be able to ‘keep the lights on’. We may only have electricity whilst the sun shines. GDP does not define success, try Happy Planet Index instead. There will be many refugees. We will have to budge-up in peace and compassion. These sound like inconveniences, but let me tell you without the scary details: these will be nothing to the inconvenience of runaway climate change.

If we don’t radically change the way we live, it will be radically changed for us.

The Deluge, Francis Danby (Irish, 1793–1861), exhibited 1840

Too much attention, and too much money, goes into the automatic and unintelligent planting of trees. Tree-planting is not synonymous with conservation; it is an admission that conservation has failed. The land is full of young trees which would grow into big trees if tidy-minded people did not cut them down.

Oliver Rackham, 1986
