I’ve scattered some of my favourite books related to climate activism around Glasgow in honour of launching #COPBookFairies. This launches this weekend nationwide with over 300 books! Follow #COPBookFairies to see where they are popping up.

“Your optimism will never be as powerful as it is in that exact moment when you want to give it up” — @amandascgorman
Sun Tunnels by Nancy Holt 1977 🌞
•The Sun Tunnels by Nancy Holt were built in 1977 on forty acres in Great Basin Desert in northwestern Utah•
“Initially there was no alignment between Land art and environmentalism. Many early Land artworks actively damaged the land. Holt was one of the first artists to use outdoor art as a platform for environmental activism. She introduced ideas central to environmental protection, conservation, and stewardship that were not initially central to the art movement.” — The Art Story
“Time” is not just a mental concept or a mathematical abstraction in the desert. The rocks in the distance are ageless; they have been deposited in layers over hundreds of thousands of year. “Time” takes on a physical presence. Only ten miles south of Sun Tunnels are the Bonneville Salt Flats, one of the few areas in the world where you can actually see the curvature of the earth. Being part of that kind of landscape, and walking on earth that has surely never been walked on before, evokes a sense of being on this planet, rotating in space, in universal time … I wanted to bring the vast space of the desert back to human scale.”

The difference between 1.5°C, 2°C or 3-4°C average global warming can sound marginal. In fact, they represent vastly different scenarios for the future of humanity.
The frequency of disasters, the survival of plants and animals, the spread of diseases, the stability of our global climate system and – ultimately – the possibility for humanity to survive on this planet hinge on these few degrees and percentages of degrees.
Today, we still have the chance to meet the 1.5°C goal mentioned in the Paris Agreement. We can still protect ourselves from the worst climate impacts and shape a healthier future. But we are rapidly approaching irreversible climate tipping points.
This is why the climate conference #COP26 – which is kicking off in less than two weeks in Glasgow – is so important for the global fight against climate change. Countries must conclude outstanding items regarding the implementation of the Paris Agreement and lay the ground for a transformational decade of climate action in the 2020’s. #ItsPossible

“I think it would be really catastrophic if the developed nations of the world, the more powerful nations of the world, simply ignore these problems. Do we say: “Oh, it’s nothing to do with us” and cross our arms? We caused it. Our kind of industrialization is one of the major factors in producing the change in climate. So we have a moral responsibility, even if we didn’t cause it, we would have a moral responsibility to do something about thousands of men, women, and children who’ve lost everything. — Every day that goes by in which we don’t do something about it is a day wasted.”
