Why is the choice posed always food versus Nature? People can’t eat grass, yet we have about 125,000 hectares under golf courses. Generally don’t eat horses, but we spare about 500,000 hectares to feed them. For scale, Birmingham is about 26,000 hectares.

FFS! We can't have nasty insects near our homes, can we? Bonkers!

A bright and shining example of the suicidal absurdity of technocapitalist society occurs every year at this time, all across the country.

The Possitopia Festival sees 32 events in #Norwich in November - activities to imagine the greener, healthier future we want to see. Launches, tours, walks, game-playing, talks, screenings, discussions & creative workshops. Take a look, book up & share. https://t.co/sA3V5MfobA

Several reports today dismiss greenbelt as ‘scrubland’, the implication being that development on such land is better than what’s there now. Truth is that expanding scrub is one of the quickest ways we can make progress for Nature recovery. Quite worrying

A Tufton St guide to "honest debate" on net-zero

(aka how Civitas got embarrassingly wrong numbers into Sun, Mail, Times & Express)

1⃣Send to lobby journos, not specialists
2⃣Get Tufton St chums to write supportive comment
3⃣Trust editors to take crazy numbers at face value

The UK's largest lake has turned into 'a toilet' - and the 'disaster is being 'underplayed' https://t.co/hNrbICPrZz @Feargal_Sharkey @GreenJennyJones @ZackPolanski @CarolineLucas @ChrisGPackham @EverydayEcocide

MY EYES! What in the name of flying shit is this monstrosity!?!

This was a flower filled, species rich, ancient Devon hedge. Probably medieval or older. The soil largely undisturbed in all that time, full of wildflower seeds, fungi and other goodies.

Now matted, stoned & gross

It's not a 'problem', it's a good thing.

In poorer countries people depend on public transport & bikes. When they get richer they want cars because they bring freedom.

Public transport will *never* be good enough for a free people to move around on.

Extraordinary discussion on @BBCr4today about Net Zero

Have we really gone this far back in time 🕰️ directly from the #DontLookUp playbook

Quotes from @Conservatives about the benefits of warming 🤯 in the UK

How are we here????

[Brendan May @bmay]

Just watching @wizbates explaining that the row about Uxbridge and ULEZ means politicians may increasingly row back on green commitments. Meanwhile Rhodes is on fire and this was northern Italy yesterday. I don’t think I can cope with much more idiocy.

[Dr Stuart Capstick @StuartBCapstick]

Maybe it's better just to ignore this desperate gibberish. But it is morbidly fascinating to see the (far) right invoking Churchill, asking people to deny the evidence of their own eyes so as to 'fight' the climate cult. #DontLookUp

[ClimateMuseumUK @ClimateMuseumUK]

Just now @BBCNews on BBC1 lunchtime news led with coverage of #ExtremeWeatherStories from the US (heat), Korea (floods) and Europe (heat).

But still no mention of the causes, (except Gulf Stream). In fact no mention of #ClimateBreakdown at all.

Bizarre…What will it take?

A reminder that Rupert Murdoch is perhaps the most powerful and most dangerous man in the world. We are broken till we chuck him and his attack dogs out of our public life #TheSun
