Water industry strategies to manufacture doubt and deflect blame for sewage pollution in England - Nature Water In the past 5 years, a huge amount of untreated wastewater has been released into English waterways. An analysis of the communication used by the water utilities shows that they have employed strategi...

Great article from @dralexford.bsky.social and colleagues www.nature.com/articles/s44... . The use of manufactured doubt, deflection and disinformation has become relevant across #environmental #sciences - #PlasticsTreaty and #climatechange. Here's another example of what scientists are facing.

Just finished the BES (@britishecolsoc.bsky.social) conservation concept video series by @billsutherland.bsky.social would really recommend for anyone who could do with brushing up on fundamental ecology. I have more of a mol bio background so I learnt a lot!

Cardiff: University confirms plans to cut 400 jobs Vice-chancellor Wendy Larner says

UK University funding is a mess at the moment. Student fees frozen while costs go up. Fewer international students coming to subsidise courses for UK students. No quotas, so ‘top’ Universities take more students to pay the bills.

Climate change is affecting our wildlife. Can we help nature? Wildlife loss is prominent in Greater Manchester. Why is this happening, and is there anything we can do to prevent further loss?

“Over the past 50 years, there has been a drastic loss in the global wildlife population that will gradually get worse.

Currently, an estimated 200 species have been lost in the UK.”

Yes, completely agree. The additions of F, Cl or Br to stabilise chemical structures should also ring alarm bells.

I could have reposted 100s on PFAS. Why attention now, it is too late. When will we learn as a species the concept of the precautionary principle. Concerns over forever chemicals was made decades ago.

Thomas, the UK. It is a very comprehensive report.

At the Office for Environmental protection annual report launch. Does not look good none of the Environmental improvement plans on track. Speeding up action in the marine environment is one recommendation. Government must do more because momentum has been lost.
