Flooding ain't funny. Flooding ruins peoples lives. That is why XR & JSO and all the other climate activists are out on the streets. Because these extreme weather events are more and more likely as a result of climate change. We don't get paid, we don't have shares in Tesla, we don't stop traffic for fun. We act because governments aren't, we act so that they will.

I had a busy day in Cardiff yesterday (for me). I joined Cardiff Palestine Solidarity Campaign as chair of the RCT group at their action outside Barclays. Then dropped in on my son Rowan Moon, age 11, who was helping to lead the Cardiff Climate Justice march with other members of Pontypridd Friends of the Earth. Go Rowan!

A morning walk up to Bryngolau, 'the hill of light', Pontypridd, for a Sunday sermon with creation. The flock were ambivalent.
I love the thought of worms being gourmet gluttons via the process of natural selection... That their ability to taste through their skin is what helps them to detect and breakdown foods to create soil fertility. Living their best lives, creating the conditions for ours.
