6 d. ago There’s only one way to fight the climate greenlash: appeal to the naysayers’ self

If green policy is going to survive the culture wars, it needs a new pitch – cleaner air, cheaper bills and healthier citiesFor a decade, green activists in Britain have been congratulating themselves on their luck. Unlike in many countries in Europe, where motorists, farmers and rightwing groups have been driving anti-climate action, the UK has long enjoyed a comfortable political consensus on the subject. But conditions for a greenlash are assembling.Most Britons still say they support climate efforts, but the price of decarbonising may at last be about to hit our wallets. Meanwhile, the Conservative party has come a long way since it sported a little green oak tree as its logo. Last month, Kemi Badenoch declared a full culture war against net zero, which she said couldn’t be achieved “without a serious drop in our living standards or by bankrupting us”.Do you have an opinion on the issues raised in this article?

1 week ago The one change that worked: I conquered my fear of public speaking – with just one night of pure panic

When I agreed to plug my book at a literary festival, I was expecting some kind of low-key Q&A. Imagine my terror when I discovered I would have to monologue for almost an hourI never understood quite how much public speaking came with being a writer, because after I wrote my first book no one asked me to do any. They didn’t ask after my second book either. That was fine with me: I had never done any public speaking and, like all normal people, I was terrified of the prospect.Then in 2014, with the publication of my fourth book still a couple of weeks away, I was invited to a literary festival. I hadn’t been to many literary festivals, but for some reason I was sure I knew what to expect: a kindly interviewer would sit on stage with me, a small table holding a pitcher of water between us, and ask me a lot of softball questions about my process. I wasn’t comfortable with this either, but I said yes. Continue reading...
