We all need to be climate activists now. Look past the day to day distractions, beyond the air-brushed media and consumption marketing. Pull back the curtain to confront the ugly reality and consider what you can do to make a difference. Future generations are counting on us. We’re counting on us.

Following my keynote address on climate action today at the Autralasian Transport Research Forum in Perth, people have been asking if there was a recording. Unfortunately not. Instead, I’ve therefore created a potted version of the presentation for you to watch here if you are interested. It’s about 13 minutes long.

Let’s see what the next two weeks at COP28 brings. I’m hoping for a twist. Surely it’s too obvious to assume that the CEO of a national oil company wanting to pump more barrels not less, met by political elites flying in to rub shoulders with the fossil fuel lobby, is going to lead to depressing outcomes. Perhaps they have something up their sleeves. Perhaps they have been listening to the scientists, to the mounting protests from concerned humans. Perhaps. Perhaps.
