Number 2 on the Climate News Weekend Watchlist is from Nate Hagens explaining how we are stupidly saving up for when we won’t be able to use our money: when we’ve reached climate collapse and our economies don’t exist anymore. Are you saving up for retirement after 2035? Maybe watch this:

A reminder drought isn’t just a lack of rain.

It’s also a warning about how fragile our water systems are becoming.

Warming prominently extends vertically aloft into the lower/mid-troposphere over the #Arctic region in October (i.e., notable Arctic amplification temperature trends).

Vertical cross section (latitude vs. pressure) plot showing zonal mean temperature trends for the Northern Hemisphere in Octobers from 1979 to 2025. The Arctic is warming the fastest. The troposphere is warming in all regions and the stratosphere is cooling overtop all regions.

"There’s no getting around the fact that we — as a species and as a planet — are now living in the future that climate scientists have been warning us about for more than half a century."

Your 'moment of doom' for Oct. 14, 2026 ~ Winning? "This year, global sea level, global ocean heat content, worldwide glacier thickness, the mass of the Greenland ice sheet, and the atmospheric concentration of each of the three most common greenhouse gases are at record extremes."

Capture Carbon Dioxide - Check ✅ Freeze it into dry ice - Check ✅ Release it into the atmosphere to warm the planet some more - Check ✅

The field beside our house, called 'Glan', is becoming a fine wildflower meadow, with abundant bird's-foot trefoil etc, drawing loads of butterflies and other insects. Grazed by our Dexter cattle for a few weeks each winter, it's left fallow for the rest of the year. (Photo taken a few months ago.)

With climate change, it’s a matter of time before mosquitoes and the deadly diseases they cause are everywhere.

Why would an animal weighing less than a teaspoon bother flying 150 miles in a night?

We have fitted almost 100 with 'airtags for bats' to find out. When one flies near an iPhone, its position is pinged to us.

Look what Mike and Mira did last night!

The preliminary Niño 3.4 sea-surface temperature for October 13 just broke 30°C for the third time, and is now 3.3°C above the 1991-2020 baseline. This marks the 22nd consecutive daily temperature above the previous all-time record high of 29.815°C. set on Nov. 17, 2015.

So why state that a farm can be ecologically destructive while being economically sustainable. Being able to farm for 50 years and then go bankrupt is NOT economically sustainable. Perhaps you’ve been drinking too much British capitalist koolaid. Stop saying things that are false.

Very very excited to say that the books I've been working on are ready for pre-order!

The first is "Art in the Field: Wildflowers" and covers techniques, pencil skills, watercolour, & step by step projects...

@dandcbooks.bsky.social

Cover of my book: Art in the Field: Wildflowers which is ready for pre-order.

The cover shows pencil and full colour illustrations of #wildflowers as diverse as the California Poppy and the Common Bluebell, all feature in the book.

These books not only give my guidance on how to observe nature, draw, use graphite and watercolour, and enjoy exploring the amazing marvels of wildflowers; they also double as journals and sketchbooks with paper within the volume to create your own graphite work.

With step by step projects, a whole lot of encouragement, emphasis on just drawing rather them being scared of getting it all wrong...I really hope they help people enjoy drawing and painting wildflowers, and offer a gateway to the words of #botanicalillustration and #sciartPhoto of me working on the #watercolour details of the #leaf of a #Dandelion #Taraxacum species.  You can see my hand holding a brush as I add darks to the leaf lobes, growing in a basal rosette.

My own photo, this plant appears in the book as a step by step #pencil project, and with tips on how to paint it in #watercolor.My own photo of my completed #pencilillustration of the Common #Poppy #Papaver rheos.  It also shows my pencil, eraser, and the flower I have just completed a #naturalscienceillustration of.  The latter is a little out of focus as its held a way above the illustration.

You'll be pleased to know I had professionals in to take the photos for the book, this one was just me making a record as I went along!

How in heavens have you reached that point. Holy hell

@sustainablefarming.bsky.socialOct 15, 2026, 6:45 AM

Nope. Entirely false. Economic sustainability doesn’t mean “makes money for a few years and then goes bankrupt”. You seem to also entirely miss the point. Ecological collapse leads to bankrupt farms. How did you miss that?

A music note that sustains for a long time is sustained. A farm that is sustained for a long time is sustained. Why can a farm be sustained? If a farmer chooses to farm sustainably. Sustainability seems to have lost all its meaning in discussions about climate.

What does a 63% decline in farmland birds tell us about the way we farm?

UK breeding bird abundance is down 19% since 1970. Seabirds have fallen 22% since 2020.

Food production matters. So does the biodiversity that sustains functioning ecosystems.

Nur 6 km vor Usedom soll eine Öl- und Gasförderinsel entstehen. Ein breites Aktionsbündnis fordert den Stopp der Pläne. Die @umwelthilfe.bsky.social hat dazu eine Stellungnahme im Scopingverfahren eingereicht. Was muss die Umweltprüfung untersuchen? Hier die wichtigsten Forderungen 🧵

Ever wondered where all the pollinators hang out? 🦋🐝
