When Careers Service, University of Cambridge invited the world's third largest weapons manufacturer to entice Cambridge University's students into working for them, we asked "what is the average number of murders perpetrated per employee across BAE Systems?" Seems quite relevant.

2080 was chosen as it’s the furthest forward the UKCP18 models produce projections for (and hence apparently the furthest we can imagine, although well within the lifespan of people alive today) [3/8]

🚨 Last night two of our activists took a trip to their local Shell garage to highlight Shell’s complicity in the murder of the #Ogoni9, a group of 9 activists who were executed after protesting against Shell’s ecocide in the Niger Delta 🏭 #ShellGuilty #ReparationsNow

Very proud of our rebel Chris for going on @talkRADIO this evening to face an overly hostile Dan Wootton. Point made exceptionally it’s just a shame Dan didn’t want to listen !! 👏

Throughout this project we’ve also been interested in how weather is represented culturally. Easy to do for 1816 (plenty of books, newspapers, paintings) but hard for 2080. Often future climate is shown in apocalyptic terms, but how will the people of 2080 view their own weather?
