" paraphrased
Kevin Anderson, professor of energy and climate change at the Universities of Manchester, Uppsala and Bergen :
“The choice is between deep, rapid and fair decarbonisation of modern society, and an organised-ish technical and social revolution; or ongoing rhetoric and delay as temperatures [rise]. And then we’ll have a revolutionary style change that will be both chaotic and violent.”On nature, Nathalie Seddon, professor of biodiversity at the University of Oxford, said:
“We are facing a national emergency not only because the climate is changing, but because the living systems that protect the climate are breaking down. This isn’t about choosing between the economy and the environment. It’s about recognising that the economy is embedded within the environment, and that the health of the nation depends on the living systems that sustain us.”Tim Lenton, director of the Global Systems Institute at the University of Exeter, said that a collapse in the Atlantic meridianal overturning current (Amoc) would leave London freezing in winters of -20C, “and yet the summers would still be hotter than today’s”, leading to a situation where the UK would be 100% reliant on food imports. “We have got to do everything in our power to limit the amount of time we spend above 1.5C [above preindustrial temperatures],” Lenton said.
Richard Nugee, a retired general, said politicians focused on the threat from Russia were failing to see the greater threat of the climate crisis. “Climate change is going to be a bigger problem than Russia,” he said. “It’s an insidious threat, one that has crept up. It’s going to do more damage than the threats they’re focused on now. But all they see is a resurgent Russia.”
He said politicians needed to ensure the UK could cope with the greater extremes of weather that were already apparent and going to worsen. The lack of action to ensure that vital infrastructure is resilient was leaving the country vulnerable to extreme weather, and open to attack from enemies who could perceive this weakness.
“Having spent most of my life fighting, I need to believe this country to be strong. The last thing I want to see is this country go to war. But we are not providing a sufficient deterrent, because we are not resilient enough [to the impacts of the climate crisis],” said Nugee.

👾 Three Years On: Generative AI at University of Manchester
🗓️ Tuesday 26 November, 10:00–16:00
📍 Venue: Ellen Wilkinson AG.3/4OpenAI launched ChatGPT in November 2022. Where are we, as a professional community, three years on from this milestone? How have our teaching, research and engagement changed? What challenges have we encountered and what opportunities lie ahead? This workshop invites colleagues who have actively engaged with these questions to come together to take stock and begin sketching an agenda for the next phase of generative AI at Manchester.
There’s innovation taking place across the university, but we haven’t yet joined it up. Let’s connect, learn and shape the next phase. We’d love to hear from you if you have:
- Undertaken research or scholarship on generative AI in higher education
- Incorporated generative AI into the content or delivery of your teaching
- Designed assessments that make use of, or critically engage with, generative AI
- Contributed to policy, guidance, or process relating to the challenges of generative AI
- Explored the use of generative AI in professional services, administration, or student support
- Used generative AI to enhance public or community engagement, or to communicate research to wider audiences
- Facilitated staff or student development around AI literacy or digital capabilities
- Supported student learning, wellbeing, or development in relation to generative AI
This Institute of Teaching and Learning supported workshop will be structured around a series of dialogues between 3–5 colleagues on issues of shared concern. The aim is to build networks and catalyse developments, particularly across schools and faculties.
Participants are asked to propose a topic or theme they would like to explore. Possible areas might include:
- Normalisation and practice: How is generative AI becoming routine in teaching, learning, and research, and how can we steer that process responsibly?
- Assessment and integrity: What does authentic and effective assessment look like when use of generative AI is widespread?
- Capability and equity: How do we build AI literacy across disciplines while ensuring equitable access and support for students and staff?
- Labour and governance: How is AI reshaping academic and professional work, and how should universities manage their growing dependence on external platforms?
- Ethics and sustainability: What do environmental, ethical and data-governance responsibilities mean for our institutional use of AI?
These are only suggestions. Our priority is to curate conversations that reflect the interests and concerns of colleagues attending the event.
If you’d like to take part, please get in touch by 26 October, indicating the theme or topic you’d like to address. If you can only attend part of the day, please let us know. Lunch and refreshments will be provided. Please note this is an internal event for UoM staff.

BBC News: Elon Musk sparks crisis talks at UK's elite Royal Society
What's the point of the Royal Society if they don't stand for honesty, integrity and scientific truth?
And what achievements are Nobel prize-winner Prof Sir Andre Geim from Manchester University thinking of? Because Musk's PERSONAL scientific achievements appear to be zero. Zip. Zilch.

Longest of the shots!
My mum is 90 this year and she would really like a University scarf to replace the one she's lost.
She studied medicine at Uni. of Manchester in the 1950s. Seems she was a real trail blazer, one of only 2 women in the year. And they wouldn't confirm her place until they were happy they had enough players for their rugby team!Anyone have or know of a
Victoria University of Manchester Medical Scool
scarf.It would make her day.

Please boost.
