When I was born, atmospheric carbon dioxide was less than 320ppm. Now it's more than 420ppm. This is not good.

Did you know oysters are tiny water treatment plants? 🦪
Every single oyster can filter up to 200 litres of water a day, improving water quality and tackling ocean pollution.
With just £9.72, you can help us grow a dozen oysters so they can clean up our ocean 👉 actmcs.org/oyster-hero-bsky

Here's a short clip of aurora from the Cresswell Aurora Cam livestream last Wednesday. I've uploaded the full length timelapse (which includes proton aurora) to YouTube. You can watch it here.

Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed;
Some poison'd by their wives: some sleeping kill'd;" - Richard II (A3, S2) #ShakespeareSunday

Voters want both: homes built and wildlife protected.
MPs should listen to the public, not a false "nature vs growth" narrative.
If nature loses at this stage, it will be because they chose not to protect it.

Help stop the Planning and Infrastructure Bill tearing up nature protections
I've just emailed my MP and asked them to vote to protect nature in the Planning and Infrastructure Bill. Will you take action too?

It's so weird how antidepressants only cause the impulse to commit mass violence in the country where there is easy access to guns. What a coincidence!
First they came for reproductive rights.
Then they came for vaccines.
Now they’re coming for mental health.
There is zero evidence SSRIs cause mass violence.
You know what does? Guns — and the fact that anyone can access weapons that kill hundreds in seconds.

Cruelty really is the point. Who else would go to court begging for permission to starve their own citizens? Meanwhile, they send $40 billion to Argentina, buying two private jets for ICE “Barbie,” and Trump has already burned through $1 trillion in less than two months.
