I just signed the campaign calling to save our swifts, by calling for the UK Government to follow Scotland's lead and make it the law for all new houses to be built with "swift bricks" - safe places for these birds to nest. Will you join me?

ABSOLTELY CRAZY EVENT IN GREENLAND
+7.1C Qanaaq at 76N pulverized its January record
Dozens of records have been smashed in pieces allover Greenland every day for the past several weeks:
Definitely One of the most extreme events the world has ever seen,anywhere,anytime.
Le botaniste Francis Hallé nous a quittés à l’âge de 87 ans : L’association Francis Hallé pour la forêt primaire est plus que jamais déterminée à concrétiser son rêve : réunir les conditions pour qu’une forêt primaire puisse renaître en Europe de l’Ouest [1/2]

RIP Francis Hallé
Les arbres ont perdu leur grand père et la planète un incroyable botaniste défenseur de la biodiversité.
Poète émerveillé et infatigable, il a consacré sa vie à la profonde beauté des plantes et nous a rappelé l’humilité nécessaire devant l’incroyable complexité du vivant.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
My first walk of the autumn through Epping Forest. The shape of the trees, leaves and all of nature, simply a riot of colour.
It would be a crime to miss out on autumn, so I did not!

Your 'doom quote' for today:
"This collapse, I predicted would occur in 2015-16 at which time the summer Arctic ... would become ice-free. The final collapse towards that state is now happening and will probably be complete by those dates".

Your 'moment of doom' for Oct. 13, 2025 ~ The end of coral.
"We are rapidly approaching multiple Earth system tipping points that could transform our world, with devastating consequences for people and nature..."

American-style intensive livestock farms are spreading across Europe, with new data revealing more than 24,000 megafarms across the continent.
These factory farms spread disease and cause immense suffering where animals never see a blade of grass

Its not monsters from outer space
Its humans scraping the bottom floor and sucking up every life form that exists, leaving nothing
Fish often in vain flee for their lives
Also releases 370 million metric tons of planet-warming c02 every year, roughly same as running 100 coal power plants
Work in progress. The #Nymans cedar.
The UK government has refused to ban bottom trawling in Marine Protected Areas — allowing one of the world’s most destructive fishing practices to continue tearing up seabeds, killing marine life, and releasing carbon. “Protected” means nothing if our oceans are still left open to destruction.

When you consider the *ecocide* alongside the genocide being perpetrated in Gaza, you begin to grasp the totality of the Israeli state’s attempt to eliminate both the Palestinians and their homeland.

A fun day out in Faroe Islands - even the kids join in
The sea turns red with the blood of innocent of pilot whales cruelly butchered - even their little babies not spared
World elite could stop this evil barbarism tomorrow if they wanted by stopping trade with Faroe islands but they do not care
The only difference that matters is between those who want to save life on this fragile Earth and those intent on destroying it for economic growth
Now look at the left liberals and right wing
They are all playing for the same team
Bulldozing the natural world for growth and development
Thousands of tonnes of toxic landfill liquid added to sewage and spread on English farms
