This week I wrote about a couple of ways to actually get to and write down those things, those processes you don't do often enough to remember. Even if you think you'll never forget, record it anyway!!

"Chemical pollution a threat comparable to climate change, scientists warn" - https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/aug/06/chemical-pollution-threat-comparable-climate-change-scientists-warn-novel-entities

Are we putting too much emphasis on climate change, when what's really happening is a broad climate-ecological breakdown ?

The problem with the focus on climate is that it may be amenable to technological solutions - but the broader crisis, encompassing other forms of pollution, soil degradation/erosion, deforestation, etc, can clearly only be mitigated by more fundamental changes to our lifestyles/economies.
