Cats 🐈‍⬛ 🐈 kill 1.85 billion birds 🦜🕊🪶 every year in #US

No calls for cats to be banned

Buildings 🏢 kill 675 million birds

Vehicles 🚛🚙 214 million birds

We poison ☠️ 72 million birds

Wind turbines kill just 328,000 and #climatechange deniers want to ban them!

Southampton to Newcastle: cheaper by cruise ship than rail or air.
Balmoral sets sail tomorrow evening from the Solent to the Tyne. The 2-night voyage, including all meals and entertainment, has been selling for £99.
Super off-peak train: £103

There were some fantastic Horizon-funded projects pre-Brexit, great to see it regaining lost ground in the UK

[UK Research and Innovation @UKRI_News]

Today @SciTechgovuk launched a new campaign to encourage UK academics, researchers and businesses to apply for #HorizonEurope funding.

Apply for a grant and help make your idea become reality. Find out more: https://t.co/wMjUMsSSMu

NEW! We've created the most comprehensive map of England's #hedgerows to date!

💡 390,000km of hedgerow on field boundaries
📏 Depicts hedgerow length & height (for 1st time!)
🔎 Reveals areas with highest & lowest hedgerow densities

70,000 acorns were collected from heritage oaks across Yorkshire by volunteers with 50,000 now growing at Leeds City Council's Arium tree nursery

The saplings will used by the @whiteroseforest project aiming to plant 7 million trees by 2025 across Yorks

Forests do more for the climate than store and sequester carbon.

For example, they:

✅ regulate rainfall
✅ provide cooling benefits
✅ protect coastal areas
✅ provide forest products for local communities facing climatic threats

Surprising. Astounding. Staggering. Unnerving. Bewildering. Flabbergasting. Disquieting. Gobsmacking. Shocking. Mind boggling.

Well, #hs2tomanchester cancelled and promises to reinvest £36bn in '00s of transport schemes in the North & Midlands. Where does this leave #NPR? High speed line between Liverpool & Hull would benefit more people than shaving a few mins off a Manc's trip to London

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

So, in other words, HS2 won’t go to Manchester and people in the North will be treated as second-class citizens - again?

What a disgrace.

Global temperatures in 2023 are extraordinary.

The various different datasets available all agree on this. We are breaking records by shocking amounts.

#ClimateChange is exceptional and caused by human greenhouse gas emissions

We are causing #globalwarming 100 times faster than past natural changes

We are taking Earth’s climate way beyond natural limits, with carbon dioxide and temperatures levels not seen for 3 million years

Noticed a lot of litter on a pebble beach in North Wales at the weekend. Spent 10 mins gathering all this (bottles from Ireland, France, Netherlands & UK). All the while a seal watched on from the bay. Shows how important the work of @mcsuk is 🦭 🌊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

The people of Welwyn Hatfield, constituency of so-called Net Zero minister @grantshapps, are waking up to these posters, which I pasted up in the small hours of the morning. If you agree with the message, please spread as widely as possible! #climatefight #onshorewind

[⚡️ Electric Insights ⚡️ @ElecInsights]

In the first three months of this year, 32.4% of Britain’s electricity was supplied from wind power, compared to gas which delivered 31.7%. 🔌

This is the first time wind has provided the largest share of power in any quarter in the history of the UK's electricity grid. 🇬🇧 ⚡️
