Sure it's strange to seek inspiration from a fiver but there's something even more bizarre about viewing the natural world as being primarily for very young children.

Earlier this year, E3G released a big report with the Department of War Studies at Kings College which showed that our dependence on gas is a major national security risk. Cutting heat pumps to fund defence is like not paying for a flu jab so you can buy lemsip. It makes no sense.

This would be economically illiterate & environmentally disastrous - and makes us less secure: undermining efforts to reduce energy bills by reducing dependence on gas, increasing vulnerability to global dictators, driving climate emissions & knee capping a market that’s just beginning to take off

More reports that the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, the heat pump subsidy, will be cut. This time top story on the Guardian website

To those implying that Kremlin-controlled social media bot/troll farms became silent after Ukraine hit a Yandex data center, posting this CloudFare chart

Hate to disappoint you all ⤵️

is there any good, trustworthy information out there on the actual impact on bot / disinfo activity as a result of the data centre attacks in Russia? Seeing a lot of pixely screenshots but not a lot of links to primary sources or actual analyses

Modi has lost it. "The govt has responded by massively increasing the security presence in the capital. Around thirty thousand police and paramilitary personnel have been deployed, internet services have been disrupted, trains to Delhi have been cancelled, metro stations and roads have been closed."

"Fear is infectious, of course. But hope is also infectious. People have courage now because they think that they can have courage."

Excellent! Glad you were inspired to take action by it. On pheasants, please do send evidence to the government here: consultations.defra.gov.uk/call-for-evi... - Wild Justice have a helpful guide here: wildjustice.org.uk/defras-call-...

So, finally, a PM who admits there **was** Russian interference in the Brexit Referendum — after all the evidence amassed by myself @carolecadwalla.bsky.social @lukeharding1968.bsky.social Sergei Cristo, J Patrick et al — dismissed as conspiracy for ten long years

We are 24 years away from when the world needs to be at net zero carbon emissions. Fossil fuel infrastructure and even some appliances have about a 25-year design life. That means that every gas power plant, gas pipeline, or gas boiler you install today is a middle finger pointed at your grandkids.

Marina Silva on Flávio Bolsonaro: He will try to finish his father’s ‘perverse project’ to destroy the Amazon

Maybe the most amazing aspect of the Russo-Ukraine War is that Russia is getting backing from both China and the USA, the two largest powers of the moment--and Ukraine could still emerge triumphant as long as Europe backs it stoutly.

I’m always surprised to find that my hatred of Trump can rise to new levels.

Brilliant to be on a panel with @rowhoop.bsky.social & Lucy Jones at New Scientist Live today - chatting about symbiosis, lichens, how being in nature is good for our health, how landowners release 50m pheasants into the countryside annually… and how to campaign against nature loss!

Off to New Scientist Live! On the Future stage at 14:40 today I'll be talking about ecology and SAVING THE WEB OF LIFE with @guyshrubsole.bsky.social and Lucy Jones and signing copies of Togetherness afterwards. Come along!

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.
