An interesting Grist piece that came through my social media earlier in the week. It considers the language that we use when we refer to carbon. Burning oil, gas, and coal literal fossil fuels, made from the compressed remains of ancient plants and plankton has released carbon into Earths atmosphere, where it traps heat and alters the climate. That process has caused massive destruction and loss of life, and it will continue to do so.

Every child has shouted this at some stage. sometimes many times. But what is fairness and how can we measure it? The Fairness Foundation has established five 'fair necessities' (think bare necessities of life.) For each of the five fair necessities, the index features three headline indicators that are produced by other organisations, and that allow us to assess the extent to which the fair necessity in question has been achieved in the UK.

Higher education is under siege from the Trump administration. Those opposing this siege and the administrations attacks on democracy would do well to heed the wise advice of Benjamin Franklin given just prior to the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776: We must all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately. This is particularly true right now for college and university presidents.
