Of course movements have to change, and do; JSO itself grew out of XR and no doubt did have a finite lifetime. But I mourn the optimism and determination, the belief that you can make a difference.

Anne Deschaine<p>Two days of sun and warmth have been a delight. Let's hope the approaching thunderstorms, golf ball-sized hail, and 60-70mph gusts (and potential tornadoes!?!) don't totally ruin the high.</p><p>We seem to get more dramatic weather lately. Those three bursts of hail the other day, the spates of strong gusts (hate them especially), the actual thunderstorms instead of just rain. They do come and go quickly, usually, but it's definitely an escalation of PDX "normal".</p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/ClimateDiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateDiary</span></a></p>

Monsieur Delafin<p>Neoliberal politicians are so concerned about balanced fiscal budgets and so scared of deficit spending, but at the same time see no issues whatsoever with doing just that with our carbon budget. Our global carbon debt is totally unsustainable, has been for ages, and no one's doing anything to fix that.<br><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ClimateDiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateDiary</span></a></p>
Mike Kelly<p>I watched the documentary film of Wilding yesterday, which is based on the excellent Isabella Tree book. The regeneration of the land and the flourishing of the ecosystem at Knepp is so inspiring. It show us what we're missing; it shows us alternative futures.</p><p>A few caveats – there are some poor decisions made in telling the story. They have actors playing the younger versions of Tree and her partner, in numerous golden syrup dappled sunburst shots, and there are some very clunky dramatic recreations of key moments from the project's history. Also the sheer poshness and privilege of the main protagonists does grate at times. There is little or no discussion of the economics of the enterprise. (There is more detail about that in the book.) Thus it becomes a film about a personal journey more than any kind of useful blueprint for wider action.</p><p>I don't want to sound mean – exceptionally, these people are taking their privilege and doing absolutely the right thing with it, so no complaints there. It's an amazing achievement.</p><p>I can see the potential broad appeal of the human narrative of Knepp's rewilding, which is what they've aimed for, but really, it's the flora and fauna which are the stars.</p><p><a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/rewilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rewilding</span></a> <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>climate</span></a> <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/ClimateDiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateDiary</span></a> <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/climateaction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>climateaction</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.wildingmovie.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">wildingmovie.com</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
