Glyphosate harms nature & people

Yet, now it is spring, many councils spray it in public places

There are other, much less harmful approaches to controlling ‘weeds’ (see the link below)

Or even let the weeds blossom to support biodiversity!

The Lakenheath Alliance for Peace is holding a peace camp outside RAF Lakenheath — opposing the return of US nuclear weapons to British soil.

Line chart showing atmospheric CO₂ concentration at Mauna Loa Observatory from 1958 to 2024. A light blue sawtooth line shows raw monthly values, reflecting the seasonal cycle of plant growth. A dark blue smooth line shows the seasonally adjusted record, rising from 315 ppm in 1958 to over 426 ppm in 2024. A dashed red curve shows the super-exponential fit, with the instantaneous growth rate rising from 0.27%/yr in 1960 to 0.64%/yr in 2024, more than doubling over the period of the record.

1/ Why is atmospheric CO₂ accelerating faster than fossil fuel emissions are growing?

The answer is buried in the data, and it's more worrying than most people realise.

A thread. 🧵👇

Ed Miliband to give green light to first major North Sea gasfield project in decade | LBC The energy secretary is expected to approve Jackdaw drilling as the Iran war puts pressure on the government over energy security fears

A huge betrayal.

Won't lower bills. Won't give us more energy security. Won't insulate from price shocks.

And sends a clear message to the world that we are backing new oil and gas drilling.

📚🌍 Climate Action Reading Group 🌍📚

We’re wrapping up It’s Not That Radical and starting Not the End of the World.

No need to have read them, this is about shared learning, critical thinking, and building community and growing something bigger - book swaps, idea sharing and meaningful conversation.

Forests aren't just stores of carbon - by regulating local temperatures and hydrology, they help us adapt to climate change too

Which makes it all the more devastating that they're so vulnerable to climate change
