National Emergency Briefing
If you’re not scared, you’re not paying attention
Our governments are acting as if they can legislate away climate change and its impacts on daily life. But physics doesn’t care for political opinion, wishful thinking or ignorance. Carbon dioxide levels keep on rising. Global temperatures keep on rising. Ice caps keep on melting. Ocean acidity kills off the food chain. Air and water pollution poison our children.
Tipping points – points of no return – have already passed.

This is why we write
It is becoming clearer by the day that we are in the midst of a prolonged environmental breakdown, and there’s no-one in charge willing and able to do much about it.
It’s our mission to help create a wider awareness of the fragile beauty of nature that’s disappearing in plain sight.
We write to help manage our own anxieties, and because it’s our way of celebrating humanity’s relationship with our planet and its resilience and diversity.
