I think I need to put into my talk this line that keeps running through my head
So many leaders want people to trust them, which is exactly backwards
In organizations, positions are typically appointed through the hierarchy and authority of the organization. However, like trust, "leadership" is earned: slowly built and quickly lost.
Asking how to earn trust means admitting you have failed, and more importantly means committing to a change. If you don't uphold…

Historic Glacial Confluence
This is the site of confluence of the former glaciers Vernagtferner and Hintereisferner, two of the most (and longest) studied glaciers in the world. It is the site (at ~2200m) where several times over the past thousand years the ice of the Vernagtferner would pile up to form a massive dam, 150-200m tall, which caused a semi-permanent ice lake to form in the Rofen/Hintereis valley above (the one visible from ~7 seconds). Many times this lake would get up to …

The Conceit of the Clock: Aristotle, Time, and the Hunger That Devours Us
Aristotle opens his investigation of time in Book IV of the Physics with a question so destabilizing it threatens to collapse the inquiry before it begins: does time even exist? His reasoning is not coy. The past has ceased to be. The future has not yet arrived. The present, the "now," is not a duration but a limit, a dimensionless boundary between what was and what will be.

There's a lot to like in this government initiative but concerning that improved heat-tightness (chiefly via insulation) doesn't get the leading emphasis it should have. Instead a lot of emphasis on solar, but the EROI of solar isn't great in the UK.
