The foreign 'strangers' that are destroying the UK, are the billionaires who don't live here, don't pay tax here, but we HAVE to make them richer, and every year has to have record profits.
Lets get rid of these 'strangers'.

2025 will be a critical year on the road to address climate change.
Despite the growing sense of alarm, we are still falling behind.
But we can catch up — especially if we are smart.
The best place to focus now is on large, cheap, and *fast* climate solutions — that pull the “emergency breaks”.

We can’t look at climate change, biodiversity loss, and human wellbeing in separate silos anymore.
Next — we need to look for effective, evidence-based solutions at the intersection of climate, nature, and people.

Most folks don’t realize this, but a single pound of beef is responsible for about 100 pounds of greenhouse gas pollution.
That’s 50x worse than coal, on pound for pound basis.

Beef is the worst food for the climate. Can it be done better?
Eating in a climate-conscious way is often reduced to "cut the beef." But not all beef is created equal, and regenerative cattle grazing has benefits that farmers say are being
