Scotland Saves Their Wild Salmon Population by Planting Trees to Shade Rivers

climate change caused water temperatures in 70% of rivers to rise beyond safe levels on at least one day. Records showed they surpassed 23C, a dangerously high temperature that can result in stress and abnormal behavior in salmon.Since Atlantic salmon live in cold waters, they can’t survive in summer water temperatures above 33C. While temperatures haven’t exceeded 23C yet, it’s a possibility without direct climate action.Luckily, trees offer a natural way to shield salmon from rising temperatures.

Britain's hubristic green commissars can't see the wood for the trees

My article for the Telegraph:The one thing that cheered us Northumbrians up as we waited for power to come back on after Storm Arwen (some wit points out that naming these daughters of Boreas only seems to encourage them) was to grumble: “if this was in the Home Counties we would never hear the end of it”. But it is not funny that thousands of homes are still waiting for reconnection, some with elderly occupants.I can vouch that five days of living in the cold and dark when the nights are more than twice as long as the days does not half remind you of the value of reliable electricity, diesel cars (how else do you charge a phone?) and gas stoves to cook on – all three of which are about to be banned by the eco-commissars.The longer term devastation in Northumberland is to trees.

Each photograph is my way of saying I'm not beaten yet

I've been a photographer for a lot of my later adult life.

a vicious wave of doubt knock you down?I get it. I see it in my own life, and in my work with private coaching clients.Often we pretend that the problem is not knowing what we want … when the truth is that we DO know, we just don’t see a way forward.So we say, “I just don’t know,” and, “I need to get clarity!” when the true difficulty lies elsewhere.It’s not that we don’t know.It’s that we don’t believe it’s possible for us.But what if we understood that taking action in the direction of our dreams is what allows the way to appear?Here’s the story of a time when I learned that lesson.From ages 13 – 21, I attended church summer camp in Scotland every year, on the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.

Disabled People Are Not Acceptable Collateral Damage in a Pandemic

This pandemic was never going to be easy and everyone has been impacted in one way or another, but it feels as though disabled people have largely been forgotten throughout this last year. This week, both the U.K. government and the Scottish government have been announcing their “road plans” for re-opening things again, and while having some hope given to people is always a good thing, it’s hard to ignore the data SAGE have given showing that the quick reopening next month is set to cause another wave of deaths potentially in the tens of thousands. How can we be OK with this?

My Father and His Mood Disorder: Telling the Dancer From the Dance

Having a mood disorder can feel a lot like being “possessed.” Biblical narratives (i.e. the Gadarene demoniacs) connect possession to mental illness. Indeed, when a person is taken up by the storms of chaos occurring in mental chemistry, it would seem that they are taken over by a force outside of their control. A “demon” (albeit metaphorical or (meta)physical) enters the soul and directs it like a puppeteer a string puppet. For those who have a familial relationship or connection to the one affected, the hardest part can be parsing the person from the illness.
