I’m back in #England for the week. It feels less and less like home every time I return, but it’s interesting - I can see it more as an outsider and have a different perspective on my home country. There are beautiful elements that you don’t see when you’re too close - there are problems that you also don’t see until you compare them with those of other countries.
Total, I’m here ‘til Thursday and I’m really enjoying it so far.
I'm finding it a little hard to work today with this in my head.
Antarctic ice extent is now 6.4 standard deviations below the mean. That is, I'm reliably told, a one in 13 billion year event.

Business as usual is over. Politics as usual is over. We need to be putting our effort into building systems that can help us survive what greed and power and wilful blindness have wrought.
