“A sharp, witty take on the climate crisis – from someone who knows what they’re talking about.”

Just read #NeurodivergentbyNature @joeharkness.bsky.social @chiffchat.bsky.social. A thoughtful, deeply personal, widely researched book, often funny & revelatory. It resonated, & I learnt much, too. It makes the intrinsic relationship between people & nature clear, in a fresh, important way. 1/3

The latest 'ClimateCultures & more' post on Substack, looks at the sense of agency that hope brings - in contrast with being overwhelmed by the climate and nature emergency or complacent from blind techno-optimism that ‘progress’ inevitably cures its own problems - through the lens of Hope Tales.
