We are losing Antarctica and when we lost Antarctica we lose the planet as Earth will be too hot
Temperatures in the Antarctic Peninsula have reached a record-breaking high of 15.4C for June, and ice is melting at abnormal rates during the current winter

We know of 93 calves born in the wild to our ex-orphans. How? Because they chose to bring their newborns home.
Some make the pilgrimage from the wild within hours of giving birth. They walk back to the Reintegration Unit they grew up at, find the Keepers who raised them, and introduce the baby. Others might return a few weeks or months after. Each time, our Keepers are like proud grandparents, over the moon with happiness.
Yatta has done it four times. Melia twice. This is the moment Tumaren came back with her newest baby.
Meet our wildborn family, all alive today because we chose to rescue their orphan mothers: https://t.co/gAYG28HymE
🚨BREAKING: @POTUS just opened three marine monuments to destructive industrial fishing. These areas are vital for protecting whales, sea turtles, sharks, and sensitive ocean ecosystems. This is an egregious attack on our public waters. #ProtectOurOcean#MonumentsForAll

We are rapidly loosing our natural air conditioning system: "global glaciers are losing ice at an alarming rate, averaging 270 billion tonnes annually from 2000 to 2023." https://t.co/2Jjwym7yl7

Pigeons get called sky rats.
But birds like these once carried messages through gunfire when every radio failed.
And the part most people miss is this.
For thousands of years humans relied on pigeons to move information faster than any technology available at the time. Their homing instinct is so precise that a trained bird released hundreds of miles away can still navigate straight back to its loft.
That simple biological skill made them invaluable in war.
During World War I and World War II, armies deployed hundreds of thousands of pigeons. When telephone wires were cut and radio signals failed, commanders often had only one reliable way to send a message through chaos.
In 1918 a Pigeon named Cher Ami carried a desperate note from trapped American troops in the Argonne Forest. The bird was shot through the chest and lost part of a leg during the flight but still delivered the message, helping stop friendly artillery fire and saving nearly two hundred soldiers.
Today their descendants wander city sidewalks, pecking quietly for crumbs.
Most people see a nuisance.
History once saw a lifeline with wings.
Something feels very, very off and disturbing about the pace of these data centres. It feels coordinated and all for a related purpose, and not a good one.
I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.
Why Nuclear is not as safe and reliable as you think in a warming world:
Swiss utility Axpo had to shut its two reactor units at the Beznau nuclear power plant due to high river water temperatures. July, 2025, Reuters.
Ukrainian attack on Tolyattikauchuk plant in Samara region of Russia.
It produces synthetic rubber for the tire industry, rubber products, and high-octane fuel additives for the Russian military equipment.
For the third time, the President attempted to sell off public lands in the Arctic Refuge to Big Oil.
Fortunately, it seems these oil companies have accepted what Trump cannot: no amount of short-term corporate gain will ever be worth the risk oil drilling poses to Indigenous communities, wildlife, the climate, and public health.
I will never stop speaking out against the Administration's attacks on public lands.

Irish parliament have now started demanding samples from Aughinish are forensically analysed against missile fragments. This is a huge step closer to linking the russian refinery to the Kremlins military complex.
Honestly, i don't understand this economy when nursing homes are so expensive they bankrupt our grandparents but nursing home aides need to use food banks.
daycare is so expensive it eats up one parent's entire paycheck and yet daycare providers only make $10/hr and need second jobs.
college costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and puts students into debt for life and yet we have thousands of professors living in their cars.
everything we need is astronomically expensive and yet almost none of the money we pay is going towards the people actually doing the work and providing the services.
The environmental toll of the artificial intelligence boom continues to mount as tech companies use ever more power to run their data centers and use enormous amounts of water for cooling. A new investigation by U.N. scientists warns that AI's water use in 2030 will match the needs of 1.3 billion people, while its power use will be triple that of Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nigeria combined — countries with a total population of 650 million.
"Most people understand AI as a digital technology, as a virtual thing, as something that is in the clouds," says Iranian environmental scientist Kaveh Madani, director of the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health. "What we tried to do in this report was to remind people that there's some physics to all of this."

Region Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperatures are in record territory, approaching 3 standard deviations above the 1982-2011 mean, an anomaly that has never happened before in recorded history.
The Climate 8-ball says: "four!"
The rate of sea level rise has doubled in the last 20 years as climate change accelerated. Just over half of it is down to melting ice, almost all the rest due to ocean water expanding as it warms up.

Iran war shows how fragile our food system really is
My new Op-Ed @TheScotsman
The intensification of agriculture over recent decades has meant that food and farming has become fundamentally rooted in fossil fuels
Getting behind our farmers is vital in helping move away from a dependence on artificial fertilisers, pesticides & animal cages and crates
