"James Wallace, chief executive of charity River Action UK, said the target seemed "admirable" but that ultimately it was a "political pledge"."

It can't physically happen by 2030 because there's no fucking infrastructure to support it... It's a bullshit pledge 🤪

Without due process, this could be you. It could be me. It could be any or all of us.

It doesn’t matter who you voted for. Or the color of your skin.

You must understand what is truly at stake here.

All tyranny needs to thrive is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

'Forest restoration' is booming, but biodiversity isn’t. Why?

A lot of the time, it's just planting so-called 'forests' of alien monocultures.

In other words, nothing but another bullshit money-making racket.

COMING

On longer evenings,
Light, chill and yellow,
Bathes the serene
Foreheads of houses.
A thrush sings,
Laurel-surrounded
In the deep bare garden,
Its fresh-peeled voice
Astonishing the brickwork.

It will be spring soon,
It will be spring soon –
And I, whose childhood

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Today we had some high energy wind, as a sharp transition between atmospheric energy levels moved into our region.
High energy winds can move large masses. That's what energy does, move matter.
Today it moved some of mine.

Intense competition for resources is always followed by depletion, conflict, extinction, and collapse. No species, however “intelligent” it may be, has ever managed to challenge this sequence

Rail fares have gone up by 4.6% today

Why is the govt leaving the privately owned rolling stock companies (who own the trains) in place? They contribute nothing to the industry & extract hundreds of millions from the railway each year, much of it ending up in overseas tax havens

What part of "payment due on completion of work" don't some fuckturds understand?!?!

Try walking out of a supermarket without paying... The same applies to the small business employed to undertake work at your home.

We're not banks, there's no credit facility... I'm so angry this morning 🤬

The people I most enjoy conversing with and try to emulate have a willingness to accept that when it comes to ecology, they do not know and perhaps cannot know.

Beware those who know.
