Is "Wind farms push up household energy bills by £70" in UK True or False?
The answer was False.

Great news from Wales! Environment (Principles, Governance & Biodiversity Targets) Bill creates new legal framework for environmental protection & reversal of wildlife loss. Ministers can set legally binding biodiversity targets & an independent watchdog will be set up

Global sea levels have been underestimated due to poor modelling, research suggests Analysis shows average levels are 30cm higher than thought, and up to 150cm in south-east Asia and Indo-Pacific

Sea levels have been underestimated. Many studies used flawed models. Actual coastal sea level is ~30 cm higher on average & up to 1–1.5 m higher in parts of Asia. That means millions more people & homes already at flood risk.

Fifty years after New Zealand stopped whaling, humpback population showing signs of recovery Breeding is getting more competitive, suggesting the population is growing, a new study shows.

This is a marvelous change not only for the Humpback whale 🐋 population but for all of us. We need to keep our gentle giants from going extinct.

📣 CNCC Vice-Chair @rozsavage.bsky.social: “To reduce our natural environment to mere pound signs is an insult. We need to put respect for nature at the heart of all decision making across Government.”

🌿 The Government needs to understand nature’s true value—and start protecting it at all costs.

Sea levels already ‘much higher’ than many scientists had estimated Measurements of actual global levels show big impact of climate change, especially in Asia, study shows

Sizewell C is already at risk- now this! "Sea levels across the world are already “much higher” than most scientific assessments have assumed, according to new research, making coasts even more vulnerable to rising oceans as a result of global warming" www.ft.com/content/eb58... via @ft

The West’s Winter Has Been a Slow-Moving Catastrophe Without snow in the mountains, the places that depend on the West’s rivers will hurt for water.

The real slow-moving catastrophe began with the Industrial Revolution when we started rearranging atmosphere, water, and energy flows faster than Earth systems could absorb.

We’re unable to perceive incremental change.
Until suddenly it isn’t incremental anymore.

We need to spend vast £s & €s on renewable energy generation & storage NOW to replace fossil fuel greenhouse gas releases to limit FUTURE climate related losses.

Groundbreaking study reveals tenfold heat increase over Europe Researchers have created a new mathematical solution to analyse how emission-intensive actors are responsible for increasing climate damage.

"2025’s extreme summer weather also sparked short-term economic losses of at least €43 billion, with total costs slated to hit a staggering €126 billion by 2029."

Write to your MP Ask your MP to act on the Nature Security Assessment’s findings and press for a meaningful response.

🌿 The Government must respond to the national security assessment on ecosystem collapse with urgency.

🚨 This is not a distant issue. It's a direct threat to the UK’s security, stability, and prosperity.

📝 Write to your MP—ask them to demand a response from the Government.

‘They pushed so many lies about recycling’: the fight to stop big oil pumping billions more into plastics Plastic production has doubled over the last 20 years – and will likely double again. For author Beth Gardiner, metal water bottles and canvas tote bags are not the solution. So what is?

"...an environmental journalist from the US, now based in London, she had written a book, Choked, on air pollution.
She was well aware of the tactics and impact of the oil industry. But she was still shocked..."

5/ I went home, contacted the one rebel conservationist I knew – Claire Wordley – and we wrote our essay ‘Scientists must act on our own warning to humanity’

It was published in @natureecoevo.bsky.social and caused a stir
