We must act as citizens together; Change is possible. If in 1999, I’d told my 3rd-year climate students that before they were40 I’d drive an electric car or 52% of UK electricity in a quarter would be renewable, theyd have called me mad. Progress is real. Yes, we can. Yes, we have.

Alongside the 'punk professor,' I occasionally style myself as the angry, (com)passionate optimist— but perhaps I should join Dana and be an apocalyptic optimist. It's easier to be optimistic here in Wales than in recent years in England. Wales can be proud having long shown the way.
My TED Talk on Saving Ourselves is OUT! Tune in to learn why we ALL need to be apocalyptic optimists: Prepared for the climate shocks that are coming and ready to rally as activists, disruptors, and bridge-builders to save ourselves from the climate crisis. go.ted.com/danarfisher
John Prescott; a much-misunderstood visionary. His wisdom, innovation & humour were invaluable. It was privilege to chair a panel for him which, reshaped CoSHH, HSE & EA policy on multiple enviro-vulnerabilities. John was pivotal in the UK’s climate response. Thankyou John tinyurl.com/thank-you-john
