Why is the choice posed always food versus Nature? People can’t eat grass, yet we have about 125,000 hectares under golf courses. Generally don’t eat horses, but we spare about 500,000 hectares to feed them. For scale, Birmingham is about 26,000 hectares. telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/12…

FFS! We can't have nasty insects near our homes, can we? Bonkers!

Several reports today dismiss greenbelt as ‘scrubland’, the implication being that development on such land is better than what’s there now. Truth is that expanding scrub is one of the quickest ways we can make progress for Nature recovery. Quite worrying dailymail.co.uk/news/article…

MY EYES! What in the name of flying shit is this monstrosity!?! This was a flower filled, species rich, ancient Devon hedge. Probably medieval or older. The soil largely undisturbed in all that time, full of wildflower seeds, fungi and other goodies. Now matted, stoned & gross

It's not a 'problem', it's a good thing. In poorer countries people depend on public transport & bikes. When they get richer they want cars because they bring freedom. Public transport will *never* be good enough for a free people to move around on.
Rishi Sunak has identified a huge problem in the UK. As he says, "Most people are dependent on their cars." The way to solve this dependency is to properly invest in public transport and active travel.

Just watching @wizbates explaining that the row about Uxbridge and ULEZ means politicians may increasingly row back on green commitments. Meanwhile Rhodes is on fire and this was northern Italy yesterday. I don’t think I can cope with much more idiocy.

Maybe it's better just to ignore this desperate gibberish. But it is morbidly fascinating to see the (far) right invoking Churchill, asking people to deny the evidence of their own eyes so as to 'fight' the climate cult. #DontLookUp

Just now @BBCNews on BBC1 lunchtime news led with coverage of #ExtremeWeatherStories from the US (heat), Korea (floods) and Europe (heat). But still no mention of the causes, (except Gulf Stream). In fact no mention of #ClimateBreakdown at all. Bizarre…What will it take?

A reminder that Rupert Murdoch is perhaps the most powerful and most dangerous man in the world. We are broken till we chuck him and his attack dogs out of our public life #TheSun
