It’s not a pathology to cry about the state of the planet. It’s a pathology not to.

A brilliant day @CalfObs with the overnight fog rolling back in just after dawn and producing a fall of migrants. Undoubted highlight being the 2nd Manx record of Thrush Nightingale but a supporting cast of 2 Garden Warblers, 4 Spot Fly's, Tree Pipit and over 50 Phylloscs ringed.

For the first time on record, precipitation at the summit of Greenland fell as rain — not snow.

It dumped 7 billion tons of water on the ice sheet, enough to fill the Reflecting Pool at the National Mall in DC, nearly 250,000 times. https://t.co/VZTokhRfaX

Quite a lot of climate coverage over the last few weeks has taken this tone—“it’s here, it’s now.” But what is “it”? The climate crisis is not an event but an era, in which cascading impacts are almost certain to continue to worsen and intensify, punishing more each year.

I know 325 trees were set to replace the Elms, should they be felled, but what a way to finish off this story if we could still get them in the ground?

@drwatsonsa wanna lend a spade?

#ElmTreeTunnel has been saved!

Solution found to avoid removal of 25 Elm trees on Braaid Road https://t.co/Sf8Aj0Y9bf #IsleofMan #IOM #Manx

Regardless of ‘compensation schemes’ lined up by the landowner, this saga acts as a reminder that nature, as an imperative, HAS to remain intact.

We must strive to put the natural world into actual positive and not be tempted by the fallacy of ‘net positive.’

I've asked @MartynPerkins1 to please find a better solution and work alongside @manxnature and the landowner to improve the current access and save the Elm trees .@IOMGovernment @GeoffreyBoot #ElmTreeTunnel #ManxNature #OurBiosphere
