Climate change is a really real present risk. The climate has already changed because of the influence of humans. And it’s going to continue to change and that pace of change is going to speed up, so the risk to sites like Skara Brae and other sites around Orkney, it’s real, it’s here, it’s happening. But it shouldn’t all be doom and gloom and despair. There is an opportunity to still do something about it and to avoid the worst possible consequences of climate change.

Lisa Kott:
Watching your child suffering when you’re helpless is one of the worst things you can experience in life, i know that death is on the doorstop.

I see him, and in true Southern fashion, I will give him a glass of iced tea while he waits. Because we’re still going to dance and have fun in the presence of all that. It’s not going to be doom and gloom in our house.
