1. Short #ClimateDiary thread. The stage of the Guildhall, King's Lynn, is doing the journalistic rounds as a heartwarming #archaeology story today. Tree-ring dating confirms the boards were in place when #Shakespeare is thought to have acted here. The Guildhall, is an amazing building, and also a rather dusty and neglected community resource -- which always made the 'Shakespeare was here' story a good one. https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2023/oct/05/boards-trodden-by-shakespeare-found-under-floor-of-norfolk-guildhall
The problem is King's Lynn. Under any scenarios, this place is going under the sea; sorry to mention this. As and when that happens the oak floorboards will be relocated, and possibly every brick of the Guildhall with them. We have to balance the affective powers of history and cultural heritage in our reactions to this anticipated destruction; it is necessary to withdraw some of the emotional and cultural attachment, to think about the violent effects on people now? #ClimateDiary
Now all you need to do is figure out how to send the bill to the Oil industry?
