  • No Step

    No Step

    I last flew in 2019, a night flight from LA to London. While the passengers slept or dozed in front of in-flight movies, I slid a window blind up and peered out. A few metres from my face, two huge jet engines were hammering out burning hot CO2, Nitrous Oxide and a cocktail of other […]

    Extinction Rebellion April 2022

    “Climate activists are sometimes portrayed as dangerous radicals. The truly dangerous radicals are the countries that are increasing production of fossil fuels. Investing in new fossil fuel infrastructure is moral and economic madness.” UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, April 4, 2022

    Stranded Assets

    Since the signing of the Paris Climate Agreement in 2015, HSBC has poured over $110bn into fossil fuel firms and projects. Valuations of fossil fuel companies include the oil, gas & coal resources they’ve claimed for future exploitation.

    So why is it that so many carbon footprint calculators claim to be able to offset my 6.9 ton return flight, by persuading Atoc to further reduce her already minuscule footprint? And charge me a pittance to do so. Apart from this being bizarre and arrogant, something doesn’t add up here. Mike Berners Lee agrees:”Offsetting’ […]

  • Hunger

    Hunger

    I’m full of admiration for Peter, Marko and Julian who spent 26 days on hunger strike outside Conservative Party HQ, in the run up to the election. They spent each day sitting in the cold outside the gates in support of XR’s three demands.

  • Creating a scene: XR Oct. 2019 Rising

    Creating a scene: XR Oct. 2019 Rising

    I’m working out how best to photograph Extinction Rebellion. A friend of mine tells me she does not support XR because their disruptions alienate people who need to be brought on side.
