Since June, there has been an acceleration in the number of stories related to the climate emergency and some frightening weather extremes and hazard events. The scale of events is increasing, return periods are narrowing and unprecedented data points are being recorded in places from the extreme North to the extreme South and everywhere in between.
I started a new blog today which has been brewing up over the summer break as I saved stories from my news feeds as draft posts to work up into completed posts.
It will be a place for a mixture of pessimism and optimism. Of news items, mapping, culture and a diverse worldview.
There will be some cross-posting from this and other blogs.
Welcome to the Pyrocene.
Have we passed the point of no return?
