#climate summit
Boris Johnson expressed his support for a new coal mine in the North of England. The UK will host the Cop26 UN climate summit in Glasgow in November…
Woodhouse colliery would be the first new deep coalmine in the UK for three decades.
This decision is truly the a terrible one that must be reversed at once. Not only is it detrimental to the global climate but it also sends mixed messages to countries world-wide about tackling climate change, which is the last thing we need in this fight.
This must be stopped at once.

Tré Seals, “Save Your Breath,”
Part of a climate-related project in the run-up to COP26′s “Do the Green Thing’s The Colour of the Climate Crisis”.
Taking place at Glasgow’s Pipe Factory but existing as a permanent digital space, the exhibition brings together the work of 24 black creatives and creatives of colour.
The work explores climate injustice – the idea that black people, indigenous people and people of colour are most affected by the climate crisis (and sometimes least responsible for it).
Data visualisation artist Mona Chalabi, Pentagram partner Eddie Opara, and type designer Tré Seals have all contributed.
You can view the projects at the exhibition website.
