@Niall I also have recommendations if anyone is interested! This is only for anyone looking for recommendations. Anyone else can safely ignore the rest of this message. • Drilled podcast (about oil companies & their vastly disproportionate impact on climate). • Climate Town - a series of videos on climate by a comedian with a climate science & policy degree. • at the moment I’m reading A Climate of Truth, the most recent book by Mike Berners-Lee. I recommend his earlier books too. • the This is How it Ends series on The Press YouTube channel (I’m currently in the middle of watching these eps: https://youtube.com/watch?v=0KKuXwuIs8k). I have other books about climate in “to read” pile, but some are a bit more than I can manage. Can I ask for recommendations from other folks too? Some I’ll have already read/watched/listened to, but there’s bound to be good stuff I haven’t found yet. @lightweight @davemosk @phil_stevens

@heyrochelle I watched the 'water quality' episode of This is how it ends earlier today. Quite well done. Thanks for the other tips. To add one - if any of you haven't yet read Kim Stanley Robinson's Ministry fro the Future, I think it's a very powerful narrative and speculative case study. Great common language. I fear one of its main plot points might happen this year. I read it shortly after reading Kate Raworth's Doughnut Economics, also essential reading. @Niall @davemosk @phil_stevens

@heyrochelle thanks for all those ideas. I really like the volts podcast. Mostly tech but some societal issues too. I'm reading 'Material World' by Ed Conway which is a deep dive into the six key materials we as a society use, their history and their impacts. https://www.volts.wtf/ @lightweight @davemosk @phil_stevens
