Excruciating to hear Govt minister try to explain how expanding airport capacity won’t increase carbon emissions & drive #ClimateCrisis. It likely won’t even increase growth either given that corporate air travel is declining & 3 times as many tourists leave the country as come in. #BBCR4Today

Nobody ever planted a tree in this photo. It was a working gravel pit 30 years ago.

Major floods on the Severn, Teme & Wye
Updated in light of another big one on the Wye last week.
Current 5 year period 3x more than any previous period in last 30 years.
We can either hope it goes away or start adapting. Fast.

Finally landed here after a very long break from some other place. Good to see a lot of familiar names and fellow environmentalists have already made the journey and the community becoming established.
