It's OK to confront people not wearing masks on trains. A society where people call out rule-breakers is also a society where people help each other carry the shopping. ft.com/content/8bcc03…
What we need is from train companies to produce badges for people who are exempt. TfL has one in development. Some people are worried that such badges would single out those with a disability, but... ft.com/content/8bcc03… Image
Last time I wrote about masks I received many, many emails about the size of coroanvirus particles...
As I wrote in my column, even some visitors from the US are surprised by lack of mask-wearing in the UK. But I don't think we are *that* hopeless: on Overground yesterday, virtually everyone had a mask

We all support non-violent protestors in Iran. What about in the UK?
In the week that the government approved a new coal mine, I went to the trial of Hannah Hunt and Eben Lazarus – the climate activists who glued themselves to John Constable’s Hay Wain
ft.com/content/4a0ab6…
On July 4, Hunt and Lazarus entered the National Gallery. Fellow protestors distracted the security guards. Hunt and Lazarus approached the Hay Wain, taped a dystopian version of the picture on top, and glued themselves to the frame...
They made short speeches about climate change. A video played to the court showed a group of school children cheering, before the gallery was closed. ft.com/content/4a0ab6…

a lot of people get that eating less meat is good for the climate. but many don't realise *how good*

for 50g of protein (recommended daily amount), here are average greenhouse gas emissions
- beef: 25 kg
- cheese: 4 kg
- chicken: 2 kg
- peas: **0.2 kg**

the difference is huge!
or take how much land is required, which really matters to stop both climate change and the loss of wild animals.

for 2,000 calories (RDA for women), here is the land used:

- lamb: 233 m²
- cheese: 50 m²
- pork: 15 m²
- peas: *4.3 m²*
- tofu: **2.6 m²**

an order of magnitude!
these figures are brilliantly presented by Our World in Data: ourworldindata.org/environmental-…

and yes, there are differences in how the meat is produced, but they don't change the picture. (indeed, if you want high-welfare chicken, that will normally mean more land and more emissions)

I’ve been thinking about this line by climate scientist Corinne Le Quéré a lot: “A perfect person could cut their own emissions by [only] perhaps 25%.”

we can only tackle climate change together but that doesn’t mean we’re off the hook as individuals
ft.com/content/94475c… Image
first, cutting your emissions by (say) 25% is a big deal.

and it’s not impossible: you cut your emissions every time you choose not to fly, every time you order the non-meat option, every time you sort out your home heating to use less gas.

but collective action matters more
second, collective action depends on individuals. a lot of people want climate action. what we need is to make it our priority, to go to the meetings, to make the suggestions. in politics, it can’t be an add-on - it should define whether a politician is worth supporting.

in this heat, shade is vital, so I’d like to say a big thanks to all those ‘free thinkers’ who spent years casting doubt on climate science, for absolutely no social benefit whatever
have any of them admitted they were wrong? of course not.

take Tory MP Christopher Chope. in 2006 he told Parliament it was “doubtful” global warming was all man-made

today:
if, unlike Chope, you live on planet Earth and would like to keep doing so, please read my interview with climate scientist Corinee Le Quéré about why the heatwave is a moment not to be fearful - but to be forceful ft.com/content/94475c…
