Moderate global warming does not rule out extreme global climate outcomes - Nature Extreme global climate outcomes may occur even under moderate 2 °C warming and may turn out to be more extreme than model-averaged projections at 3 °C or 4 °C warming.

To be clear, North Americans say moose, but the animal is an elk. Early European settlers had not seen them as they were extinct in much of western Europe outside Scandinavia, & so adopted an Abnaki name. This was then adopted in Britain over the forgotten elk.

Moose are capable of swimming several kilometers in the open sea. But why would they take such risks? 'We've found some dead moose drifting in the sea,' says a moose expert.

Exactly. Brambles = flowers as well, & the dense bushes that protect small birds!

They should read 'Wilding'!

A14 tree planting - why are they dying and how to fix it Questions arise about why some tree-planting schemes fail and what can help them thrive.

Why not do the obvious - plant the tree seeds! eg acorns, etc - they will establish much better.Also, put pioneer trees in first - like birch, then go back after they establish & plant more broad-leaf species.
