Past time for eco: what net zero is, and why we need it
A novelist imagines a near-future world that fails to meet net zero, exploring climate collapse, loss and hope through future generations

It’s 2033; climate change is progressing and world leaders are still arguing. 19 year old Dylan and his generation engage in angry, desperate, illegal protest. Their future looks grim… until a mysterious time traveller makes Dylan an intriguing offer. @yorkshirebylines.co.uk @bylinesnetwork.co.uk

How did we end up with BJ in No 10 should be deeply considered and never repeated. But I spent the day on a mini bus on holiday while he was in power with middle class middle income ( I think) Tory voters and apparently Boris was a laugh.

Setting £20 notes alight in front of homeless people/rough sleepers, when he was at Oxford.
This man is basically just a posh lout. His school reports indicated this; his membership of the Bullingdon Club indicated this; his previous political record indicated this; his mass media appearances indicated this. How on earth did he ever get to be PM?
Boris Johnson took four days off as NHS warned Covid could ‘overwhelm’ system
Files show then PM was walking dog, riding motorbike and hosting guests as pandemic planning stalled in ‘lost month’

This is a shocking article; it really upset me. I didn’t realise that such groups existed. Perhaps death rates in childbirth of both mothers and babies pre-20th century should be more highly publicised. And even ancient societies had skilled midwives who had learned thru an apprenticeship process.

Much of the right wing narrative, regardless of nation and culture, is about which cohort of men get to control which cohort(s) of women.
A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...
78% are murdered by a partner/ex
Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this
Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety
In fact, they voted against them...

At St James’ Church at Cooling in Kent are still to be seen the 13 children’s graves surrounding that of their parents that inspired Dickens to write the opening chapter of Great Expectations.
I guess even the folk memory of the huge mortality of childbirth and early life is now disappearing.

This is quite frightening. And predicted by George Orwell, who imagined vacuous pop music produced by machines in ‘1984.’ We already have a reality TV host leading the free world. Once we watch AI drama, listen to AI music, read AI novels etc do we get AI politicians? Musk-world.
