I turn complex topics like climate and degrowth into comics, visuals and explainers.
Research-led, a little tongue in cheek and optimistic.

Inktober 4. Murky

I asked my 11 year old son what I should draw for this prompt - he didn’t hesitate: ocean pollution

Inktober day 2: Weave and day 3: Crown

This years prompts are pretty cool so I’m weaving them into a story. Watch this space!

Is Net Zero over?
No — but the way we talk about it might be.
Culture war bait. Media confusion. Policy reversals.
Meanwhile, power demand is rising fast.

My favourite energy cartoon yet!

I am hanging on to the hope that in order to quench its thirst, ai will need to solve renewables for us.

Inspired by ‘Moral Ambition’ (Rutger Bregman) who details movements (e.g. abolitionists) that succeeded by uniting behind one, achievable cause.
Climate activists want to fix everything, now!

So what could we unite behind that future us might actually thank us for?

The climate camp is… lively!
We’ve got perfectionists arguing with techno-optimists, doomsayers with nudgers and the rest of us like the middle child trying to keep the peace.
What’s the trick to getting us pulling in the same direction?

After attending a presentation by National Grid that stated electricity demand is set to double by 2050 — and I’m pretty sure that didn’t account for the AI we’re now embedding into almost everything - I’ve been obsessing over it. With all the bickering over net zero, how will we power it all?

I’m a climate activist -
… but the cat is a psycho
… kids don’t eat seasonally
… Amazon has saved several last minute costume disasters
It’s not hypocrisy, it’s life.
Stop shaming and change the systems.

You’re paying for floods, energy hikes and crop failures.
Big Oil?
Record profits
£3.75bn in UK tax breaks
Still blaming you

Is net zero ‘woke’ or just bad for fossil fuel profits?
