Newton Heath in Dorset has also burnt (25ha) this month. As cool as satellite images are, why can't we monitor these locations and try to prevent these events? #eochat @guyshrubsole.bsky.social @tonyjuniper.bsky.social @chrisgpackham.bsky.social @vikkislademp.bsky.social @ukspaceagency.bsky.social

It's #ShowYourStripes day. This is what has been happening in #Cambridge, UK, since 1850. A bit of a no-brainer, really! We are continuing to mess up the only place we can call home. 😬

This fire burnt 240 ha of Rishworth moor, near Ripponden, on 1/5/25. The blaze required 18 fire crews at its peak. The financial, social & environmental costs of managing uplands for elitist country sports & agriculture are unacceptable. @tonyjuniper.bsky.social @mikebernerslee.bsky.social #eochat
