-government intelligence report shows most worrying potential impacts of our loss of nature weren't disclosed to the public

-only published after pressure from campaign groups, including an FOI

-but published version
leaves out some of the key points experts had found.

Study: Climatic 'tipping points' possible well before 2C warming threshold reached | James Murray This new report is truly terrifying. Yes, there is significant uncertainty on when climatic tipping points will occur, but the best available science suggests one is already tipping and a further eigh...

Every day a bit more despair, and disbelief that no one in the media cares

Humans are exterminating life on Earth. We’re wiping out species at a rate of 10,000 to 100,000 annually.

We need to do better. Protect nature.

At COP30, the governments of Colombia and the Netherlands announced the *first ever* conference on transitioning away from fossil fuels. AND they confirmed corporate courts will be discussed.

This is historic. And it takes us one BIG step closer to a #FossilFuelTreaty. 🔥✊

Global Tipping Points | understanding risks & their potential impact Harmful tipping points in the natural world threaten humanity by disrupting life support systems and societal stability.

What do tipping points mean for climate policy?
Climate change won't be smooth.
Delay reaching emission targets by a few years, and you might not just get slightly worse climate impacts.
You may unwittingly cross a line for unstoppable, massive changes.

JP Morgan knew. They knew about the extremity of the climate crisis. They tried to cover it up. They are a walking disgrace: newrepublic.com/article/1566...

Wow. Now that's what I call camouflage. Wait for it.

Nature is amazing. Protect it.

BBC headline utterly failing. ‘The saga of a £165m rail line that keeps causing travel chaos’

It’s not the rail line that “keeps causing travel chaos” its the shifting climate with more prolonged and intense rainfall and more frequent storms leading to landslips and the sea wall being washed out.

If China's emissions had kept growing at previous levels emissions would like, what, maybe a full GIGATONNE higher....the area of avoided emissions here is like deleting the emissions of entire countries. This is happening at a scale that will very clearly have an effect in lessening disasters

World’s rarest sea turtle hears in the same range as ship noise New research shows endangered sea turtles hear low ship noise clearly, raising questions about how busy coastlines affect their lives.

🌊🐢 Kemp’s ridley sea turtles, a species found in the UK and one of the most rare sea turtles on Earth, are especially sensitive to low-frequency sounds. The same rumbling tones produced by industrial shipping, new research reveals 🚢🔊

Letter: 'Parliament should bring back the Climate & Nature Bill' Protecting the local environment and tackling the climate crisis were among my main motivations for getting into politics.

📣 @dannychambers.bsky.social: “The Climate & Nature Bill would've made the UK a world leader in tackling both the climate and nature crises with a joined-up plan that listened to scientists and turned their recommendations into action. I hope the Government brings the #CANBill back to the Commons."

Time’s up for methane emissions: EU Methane Regulation, where do we stand?

❌ 🔥 From today, venting and flaring from EU fossil fuels operators are officially banned. These harmful practices deliberately release or burn fossil gas into the atmosphere.

The Guardian view on risks from biodiversity collapse: warnings must be heeded before it’s too late | Editorial Editorial: Inadequate food supplies and collapsing rainforests must be recognised as national security threats – not pigeonholed as green issues

"For years, #climate and nature experts have struggled to get across the message that species extinctions, dead rivers and deforestation are an existential threat to people as well as animals and plants."

Editorial in the Guardian 👇

Supply issues force North Sea firms to remove offshore workers Ithaca and TotalEnergies take non-essential staff off some North Sea installations due to the issues.

2025 Hertfordshire Swift Nest Survey

It is finally time to share the results of our nest survey from last year:

The survey recorded a total of 1080 Swift nests in the county, with 95 of these (8.8%) being in Swift boxes or bricks. 1/7

Fantastic findings! Well done to you & everyone involved 🤩

Great to be at the JOA-Durrell #ConsLivs2026 conference bringing together Conservation & Livelihoods experts. >1 billion people depend directly on natural ecosystems. No more vital time for collaboration to help some of these poorest communities hardest hit by climate change & biodiversity loss.

Wowzer! This assessment couldn't be laid out in clearer or more stark terms. 3 Government reports also referenced as source material. Will those holding the levers of power take any notice?
