Here’s a quick 🙄 thread explaining.
Please #retweet as the more people who know that these are queens the more likely that someone will help some out meaning more colonies next year.

"The Slow Ways walking network isn’t just about creating an important national infrastructure; sometimes it can just be about having a nice time!"

😳What the f*ck😳
Sometimes I can't help myself and swear.
Two months ago, I thought I'd do something ridiculous and plot the Super El Niño trend of 2015 forward for Sea Surface Temperatures, see dashed lines in red (2023) and green (2024).
I turns out that we are largely running above that..
🌊🌡️📈
The effect of El Niño on the tropical Pacific Sea Surface Temperatures is clearly visible.
Also see the North Pacific and Atlantic:
The anomaly is running off the chart again.
All this extreme ocean surface heat is about to turn into a year of shocking extreme atmospheric temperatures and (even) more extreme weather.
We might be getting a first taste of the Termination Shock from terminating part of our cooling sulphur pollution, while still increasing greenhouse gases.
Want to go for a good walk or run this weekend, but haven't decided where to go yet?
Why not walk a #SlowWays route and help to create our national walking network?

Let us know if you'd like suggestions 👍😉🐌
Lord Ian Austin defamation of Laura Murray is behind a pay wall.
I thought it would be nice to help him out by uploading it here for you all.
Would be a shame to retweet it.
Today is #RomaGenocideRemembranceDay. It marks the anniversary of the liquidation of the camp were Roma and Sinti people were held at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Please take a moment to remember them and to learn about this horrific moment in history. #OTD
Until this is happening on people's doorsteps in the UK, they won't give two shiny shites, & that's why we're utterly doomed. Too Busy lining up to kick the shit out of climate protesters, or Listening to any News channel that can help them believe it's all a hoax.
“I can’t actually work this ticket machine at all… This is completely inaccessible to me.”
Blind and partially sighted people like Bernie will face significant barriers to rail travel if ticket offices are scrapped.
Take action before Wednesday 26 July: https://t.co/KiVXizGPLw
A change of tack. I thought I'd have a stab at briefly explaining what climate is, and why climate change matters. In my experience, very few people really understand what climate is, let alone why it matters.

Mornin’ folks.
We’ve had a lot of people enquiring about and commenting on #bumblebees asleep on #flowers, especially at this time of year, so here’s a quick (long)🙄 thread explaining what’s going on.
Please retweet so more are more informed.
Thanks good people.

This is what fossil fuel’s $200,000,000,000 yearly profits are buying us.
A world rapidly becoming too hot for us to grow enough food to survive.
And the right wing media want you to be angry at climate protestors & desperate people on boats.
They have blood on their hands.
@visegrad24@fascinatorfun RIP Klaas van Luik: beloved husband of my friend Jenny. He was on that flight, returning home to Sarawak: one of three Shell colleagues from Miri to lose their life. Dastardly!
This is NOT holiday weather, this is NOT just summer, and your jolly childhood memories of yore have NOTHING to do with these temperatures and the harm they wreak on people, nature, food supplies (and prices) and infrastructure. https://t.co/n60CkgQn2L
The Mediterranean Sea is on Fire! Southern Spain & N. Africa experienced a 5°C increase in sea surface temps, indicating a heatwave escalation. It's no surprise that the heat waves on land are incredibly intense. We are boiling the oceans and scorching the land simultaneously.
The ground temperature in some areas of Spain has hit more than 60C! (140F) Sixty C! This is no longer a "Holiday" destination - #Spain is now a torturous sweatshop. You can't sustain crops in this heat for long - nor a society.
Heatwave in Europe
Mediterranean 5°C hotter than it should be
North Atlantic Ocean surface hotter than it has ever been.
Why are you not worried about this?
This is not weather.
This is shattering climate records
This is #ClimateChange
