#ClimateDiary this @ScientistRebellion talk by Kevin Anderson is really excellent, too - everyone should watch this. In the clearest terms he explains the profound depth and extent of #ClimateAction needed now. Not tinkering; not business and politics as usual, but vision and courage. A global climate #MarshallPlan #VelvetRevolution that takes us peacefully to #CarbonZero by 2030-5. We all, each one of us, need to show courage and leadership to get there

‘Freedom is a fragile thing…it must be fought for and defended constantly’.

During this year’s commemoration of #VelvetRevolution, these words of Ronald Reagan ring more true than ever. It is the responsibility of us all to defend this hard-won freedom & safeguard it for future

Remembering 33 years since the start of #VelvetRevolution in #Czechoslovakia 1989
That summer, I was studying #Czech at Prague University & living with friends involved in the dissident movements like Občanské
Forum
August 89 the demo I was in was brutally crushed by riot police & soldiers. We thought this wasn’t going to change for years. Less than 3 months later…
