Near the end of their career, someone I knew who’d worked for decades in sustainability told me “I wanted to save the world, but the world didn’t want to be saved.” I’ve heard similar laments from people near or after the end of their career working on the environment. I think about this a lot. 🧵

The first duty of any Govt is to keep the public safe. That means recognising that national security is changing. Alongside traditional threats, we need resilience against flooding, extreme heat, food, water & energy insecurity. It would be a dereliction of duty to let political drama distract us

Just finished Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five. It’s not very original to observe this, but holy cow, it’s a masterpiece. It’s at once a very serious book about war and PTSD/trauma, and extremely funny, compassionate, and joyful. What an omission that it wasn’t in the Guardian best novels list
