BREAKING: We just made our largest ever plastic catch. Interceptor 006 in the Rio Las Vacas, Guatemala, stopped 272 truckloads of trash - equal to 1.4 million kg (3.1 million lbs) - from flowing into the Caribbean Sea. All in a single evening.

In the ENRICH trial of minimally invasive cerebral hematoma removal within 24 hours after onset of hemorrhage, functional outcomes were better with surgery than with medical treatment, particularly among patients with lobar hemorrhages. Full results: https://t.co/hXSRKwvdNk

Only in the USA would a 45 minute doctors appointment for my migraine actually give me a migraine. No notes, America.

I know there are a million people sharing temperature anomaly charts and maps lately, but there's a good reason for that. This is totally bonkers and people who look at this stuff routinely can't believe their eyes. Something very weird is happening.

@Elosdias Congratulations!

'I'm the luckiest headteacher on the planet'

Nick Sheeran returns to school 7 months after his life was saved by a defibrillator he'd decided to install at his school.

This is why defibrillators should be in schools, shops, libraries… everywhere.

Do you use the Finchley Lido Leisure Centre?

@BarnetCouncil is looking to redevelop and potentially relocate the centre, so we think you should get to have your say on how the centre could be more accessible for you.

Closes Monday 23rd Jan

Another record! The percentage of zero carbon electricity generated onto the grid was hit #Today. New record of 87.6%

[Met Office @metoffice]

We can now confirm that 2022 was the UK’s hottest year on record & the first time the average annual temperature has been over 10°C

An attribution study has also shown climate change made this around 160 times more likely

The wind record continues to tumble 🌬️🌬️🌬️

For the 🌟first time in UK history🌟 we can confirm that wind has produced over 20GW of electricity!!!

We’re waiting on further data to confirm the final figure but it’s clear we have a new record

@RebeccaQBirk Looks amazing! What happens if you want a book at the bottom of that pile?

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Utterly bewildering Govt attack on solar farms. Solar is a win-win for energy & food security - it's *9 times cheaper* than climate-wrecking oil & gas (and much faster to deploy too), and fields with solar panels can still produce food. Who's behind these nonsensical Govt plans?

@zoeclairej Beautiful!

[The Wildlife Trusts @WildlifeTrusts]

Make no mistake - we are also incredibly angry. We stand with @RSPBEngland in calling out the unprecedented attack on nature launched by UK Government over the last few days. We’ll be challenging this together and asking for our supporters to stand with us.
