It is 5.23pm on Tuesday September 7, 2021. I am sitting in my garden in rural Aberdeenshire and the temperature is 23°C. I am basking in weather that is more like that which you would find in the south of France at this time of year.

I have, in recent years, been moving from thinking of this as a welcomed rare event to the realisation that this is becoming more and more frequent.

At what point do I change my behaviour significantly, to contribute to the slowing down of climate change?

What is my tipping point?
