Thankfully it is on a mainstream news outlet. The madness is that I am on a 100% renewable contract a pay more. I pay gas prices with a environmental bit added!

This is an interesting piece, on the underlying reasons for high UK energy bills. Consumer prices come later - its all driven due to gas (we need to delink our electricity prices from the gas price urgently)

Some exceptionally dry soils now across the UK. Not quite at Summer 76 levels yet but certainly a contrast to last year. Via @UK_CEH

While the government stokes racist hate in a race to the gutter, THESE are the boundaries it should be doing EVERYTHING to protect. 6 (maybe 7) of the 9 boundaries that allow us to live safely on this planet have now been breached.

In the UK, 38% of our domestic waters are meant to be protected - but only 8% are protected from bottom trawling - the most destructive of fishing practices. Please watch & share this devastating clip from Sir David Attenborough’s OCEAN. The film also reveals a powerful truth:

Well done James Rew. Deserved call up, serious batter/keeper At Ciderbad he has learnt to play, and keep to, the spinning, seaming and swinging ball. I have a feeling he might lock down the England and Wales wicket keeper position this summer. @SomersetCCC @ECB_cricket

The most important graph in the world! Another month of @NASA CERES data shows that our planet keeps getting darker as global air pollution, cloud cover and ice area continue to decrease. A warmer planet radiates more heat to space, but our greenhouse gases now keep >4 W/m² in!

Together, we proved that we don’t have to choose between protecting the environment and growing the economy. We did both. This Earth Day, let’s remember that preserving what we cannot replace isn’t just an option – it’s our duty to future generations.

This should be very significant. Means the Environment Agency will have to produce bespoke actions for each waterbody. A vast amount of work. Truth is it should have been done when Programs of Measures were first done in 2009. 16 wasted years for our deteriorating rivers.

Russia is not subjected to a tariff by Trump, per this now complete list (threaded below) of countries. Ukraine's tariff is 10%. It's possible Russia is the only country in the world that Trump didn't slap tariffs on. Trump put tariffs on all of America's allies.

Yay!! So the Govt *will* go ahead with #NaturalHistoryGCSE 🎉 We have to get to know our fellow travellers on this planet again. If we know & love nature, we’re far more likely to protect & restore it. Big shout-out to ⁦@curlewcalls⁩ for her vision🙏
