It is 39°C in Lisbon today. The same in Madrid. In Paris next week it will also be 39°C.

Look at this picture. People are under trees, where it can be up to 12°C cooler.

Given trees take decades to mature and many don’t survive, cities need to plant many more street trees. And urgently.

@bbc5live.bsky.social @rickedwards1.bsky.social You are right that the sea temperatures are hugely concerning, but I disagree that nothing can be done… move your money from pensions / banks that invest in fossil fuels, cut your intake of meat, get solar panels and tell your MP how worried you are

Happy St George's Day.

A reminder that half of England is owned by less than 1% of the population. Some of these aristocratic landowners have inherited land since the Norman Conquest.

England needs land reform and a strong Community Right to Buy!

Fossil fuel companies should be forced to pay the public trillions in damages for the costs of their planetary arson. Instead they are trying to shut down one of the most important and storied environmental groups in the world. It's shameless - and it's not over. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Brilliant submission by Guy here. It's essential that everyone who wants to see richer ecosystems in England also contributes to this consultation, however briefly, as many vested interests will defend the status quo. It's the first time in my life that we've had this chance. Let's not waste it.
I’ve published my submission to the government’s Land Use consultation.

DEFRA has proposed lots of bold and interesting ideas, many of which I support.

But they also underestimate the scale of land use change needed to restore nature & fix water pollution. 1/🧵
