I would like to have more of these calls. I am in the sticks, as Robin put it, and, while there are several local groups within 20 miles (40+ minutes drive) or so, that's not convenient for me and I don't personally know anyone outside my family who even seems to realise what an emergency climate change is.

I don't know how to access the poll. I went to The Big One with Brecon XR, and I'd like to be involved with future things like that. "Unite To Survive" really resonates with me.

You want groups to continue to grow in numbers. The big one worked with this as it gave us a target to ask people to join and attend. We got a coach full to London as a result. please con to set us a target like that. Maybe a climate festival or something ❤❤

If the well known influencers/ famous appeared together on programmes, on the same stage as it were, it would get media attention and maybe more public approval……look at the recent lake Windermere protests with Steve Coogan, Lee Mack and Paul Whitehouse.

Evolution or extinction? Are we able to learn to live in harmony with each other, nature and technology including AI? Sustainability not profitability. Mindfulness and self love, respect not exploitation. Our species faces a major die off, the population is passing the peak, passing a tipping point where our population goes from exponential growth to a transition to a new sustainable relationship with the ecosystem that has sustained us up until now. That downward curve can be as steep as a cliff which falls to zero, extinction, or it can begin steeply and recover as it returns to historic levels of sustainability, pre-technology levels such as pre-Columbian America. This could lead to a selection pressure that would produce a new species of hominid, speciation. The curve could be more gentle and could include technological solutions that would level off at a population that could both live more harmoniously with nature and each other and incorporate technology that would represent an evolution into a new species of technologically enhanced humanity, cyborgs. Taking life to other planets, terraforming and evolving new species of humans who could survive other planetary ecologies is another path that will require technologies including genetic engineering to reach for the stars. Managing these changes in a moral and humane way brings hope to a future that appears very scary from our selfish and ethnocentric perspectives. Keep up the good work or as John Perkins says "Dream True" instead of living like the hero of his book "Confessions of an Economic Hitman." Be blessed, you are a blessing. Aboriginal cultures have much to teach us.

We are building resistance to our extinction. It is growing. Can you feel it? We are capping all that must be capped.

OK the balance of spiky/fluffy this is problematic...
