While writing my first novel, I held onto a line from the movie, Field of Dreams: "If you build it, they will come."
As in, "If you write it, they will publish it."
It kept me going. And now I have an offer on the table.
Build it. They will come 🙏

Doctors who had contracted #Covid after working without PPE in the pandemic and have developed #LongCovid are still denied justice and support. And doctors are *still* working without PPE in the #NHS, they are still catching Covid, developing LC.

Human society appears to run on an 80 year cycle. We are nearing the end of this cycle so if you have another 30 years of life and Climate Change doesn't remove us in the meantime, you may well see a Moral and Ethical Society again.

The ocean has been hoarding heat. Now it is building up a massive 'burp.'
Even if humans cut emissions enough to reduce global temperatures, new research shows the Southern Ocean could kick warming back into gear.

The last 3 years have been the hottest in around 125,000 years.
CO2 levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years.
But most people have no idea this is happening, let alone what it means for our kids’ futures.
Our politics & media have failed our children. We should be furious.

You guys remember in Lord of the Rings when Frodo offers the Ring to Gandalf and Gandalf freaks out for a bit?
"Understand Frodo, I would use this Ring from a desire to do good. But through me, it would wield a power too great and terrible to imagine."

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.

The lesson here is that you can get more growth pushing the green economy than opposing it
The US is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Yet, "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels."
