Conservatives UK “It is time that common sense, economic growth and our national interest came first, and only the Conservatives will deliver that. We are going to get all our oil and gas out of the North Sea.” There is no economic growth on a dead planet www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
West Antarctic Ice Sheet, could collapse if global temperatures reach 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, raising sea levels by more than three meters, or about 10 feet And a 2 C world could happen as early as 2035 www.wired.com/story/antarc...
Rocket launches cause upper-atmosphere pollution more than tripled emissions of soot and CO₂ in upper atmosphere between 2020 and 2024 Pollutants released at high altitudes have 500 times greater warming impact compared to similar emissions from planes or cars www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Meta is an unethical company run by Peter Thiel’s techno-fascist billionaire protégé—Mark Zuckerberg—and is part of the Trump regime’s surveillance state. It’s time to leave Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp—and while you’re at it, drop Amazon, Google, and OpenAI as well. Learn how in this thread:
This week, a federal judge ruled that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service broke the law when it decided not to protect gray wolves in the Northern Rocky Mountains under the federal Endangered Species Act. www.humaneworld.org/en/blog/laws...
At what temperature does water freeze and for ice? Mars: -15°C Earth: -2°C Why? Bacteria. That's an albedo forcing effect of 10-21 W/m2. What could make ice melt even faster than more heat? Less bacteria. #Climate #Biosphere "biologists are warning of a microbial extinction event"
In a worst-case climate scenario, humans could push co2 levels to over 1,000 ppm. A level not seen since there were crocodiles and palm trees in Arctic 50 million years ago—with no ice on Antarctica, and tropics would have been totally unlivable for mammals like us lithub.com/what-would-h...

The German state after participating in the most brutal genocide ever seen in human history said never again Yet here we are less than 80 years later and the German state is once again willing accomplices to Israel in the genocide of Palestinians
Indeed
Something has welded together the leaves of a young birch tree (that grew without being planted) to make a cocoon-like home for itself. That's the thing with rewilding: being *ecosystem* centred, it benefits 1,000s of different organisms and, just as important, all their interconnections. 🌍
The German police brutally assault an Irish woman protesting against Israel's genocide. The German state is a disgrace. It committed genocide against the Jewish people - far from its only genocide. It forced Palestinians to pay the price, viciously silencing anyone who objects
Greta Thunberg: “You do not kill journalists unless you have something to hide. “Israel is now deliberately targeting journalists. If that is not a sign of their genocidal intent then I don’t know what is”.
'Bridget Phillipson, said the falling birthrate had “worrying repercussions” and that she hoped to be able to make it easier for women to have children' Yup! Because the one thing we need on a tiny planet with a population of 8+ billion, is more people www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
If you wondered why your appetite is not the same as it was..... www.theguardian.com/environment/...
We are on the track of the IPCC RCP 8.5 scenario, and have barerly started the decarbonization, so the worst is very possible. For each ton of CO2 sucked out of the soil today, there will still be 250 kg in the system in 1000 years. Our grandsons will curse us.
Bad enough in its own right, but.... "the true figures could be even worse, because the models did not include the torrent of meltwater from the Greenland ice cap that is also freshening the ocean waters" www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Yes I posted about that a few years ago where an area was fire free because of Beavers whilst for miles around there was fire all over

They stole my grandfather and gave him the name Smith. He was molested in his Catholic school by a priest… he ran away, jumped trains and became a real hobo! At 21, he met my granny. They raised 5 kids during the depression, left Oklahoma for California just like the hillbillies. . NOT THE END
I totally agree
Great work For 2 days, Ochoa, a dive specialist at Conservation International, had worked alongside 16 other divers to remove an abandoned 90-meter-long fishing net (300 feet) — nearly length of a soccer field — that had become a deadly trap for marine animals. www.conservation.org/blog/off-mex...

There's a sanctuary in Meath that takes in often disabled cows and let's them live out their life happily but they're being evicted. If anybody has a few hectares and wouldn't mind cattle on them you should get in contact with them. It's heartstone sanctuary
You can be sure the gombeens are lining up here in Ireland, too, to get into this lucrative new 'business' / 'sport' as soon as it becomes possible. Nothing is sacred, except money and profit.
We are turning Earth into a unlivable Hot House Earth Earth was about 2.65 degrees Fahrenheit (or about 1.47 degrees Celsius) warmer in 2024 than in the late 19th-century (1850-1900) preindustrial average. The 10 most recent years are the warmest on record. climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/...
Priority of UK like most of world is not to fight climate change but more economic growth no matter what teh cost If the third runway opens in 2035 as the government hopes, it would increase flight traffic to Heathrow by 50 percent, from 480,000 flights a year to 720,000

What was expected for 2050 is already happening now But instead of urgent action EU is busy watering down their climate action and Trump USA completely eliminating their climate action in drill baby drill bonanza All your hopes and dreams of a better future are being obliterated by those in power
No doubt Trump will try to undo it but for now lets hope this stays

Delighted to announce that my first book, THE LIE OF THE LAND, is due for publication on September 4th next via @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social. It's a frank assessment of Ireland and the #Climate emergency, with a roadmap towards a more food and energy-secure future.
Great news for a change

New study confirms what I always said, risk of shut down of critical ocean current AMOC is much greater than previously thought, and ”could shut down as early as 2055 under a high emissions scenario Even a slow down itself before a collapse will also have an impact www.politico.eu/article/gulf...
Humane society and others deserve full credit for this great achievement
Protect your wolves. Ours in the UK were gone 300 years ago and what I'd give to hear a wild wolf howl here again!
From the US, a great example of why far right political forces hate an independent judiciary and want to sweep it away. The separation of powers is one of the strongest pillars against tyranny.
AWESOME WIN FOR GRAY WOLVES 💙 Thank you Judge! The evil Trump Regime wants to end the Endangered Species Act
This is a HUGE WIN!!! Cattle and ranchers have it in their heads that wolves attack their animals, when in truth, they do nothing of the sort. Wolves provide a very important level in nature's food chain, balancing rabbit populations and providing 'leftovers' for conures and vultures. Nature won 1!
We must save the wolves!!!!
One for wolves. 💪🔥 Now keep going and ban mass game shooting events
People love to lie about wolves. I worked with them in the 80s — I know better. They kill once a week to feed their family, not for sport like hunters or dogs. Family is everything to them. So to the men who want them wiped out? Go howl at your own extinction.
Awooooo!
Yes! bsky.app/profile/ecow...
So happy wolves get a break from this homicidal Trump regime 😊🙏🏼✨💫☀️😅
Absolutely they were critical to restoring Yellowstone
