In May, my story revealed that the small town of Bentham, Yorkshire is the most known PFAS polluted place in the UK.

The town is home to firefighting foam manufacturing company, Angus Fire.

🔥 Here's what happened next...

Dear 🇬🇧,

You are so ridiculously lucky to have the NHS. Protect it. Defend it. Never stop fighting for it. Because this is the reality of medical debt in my country and if you’re not careful, this could soon be your reality too.

[Will Travers @willtravers]

Forty years working for wildlife and now this. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. This will put ALL rhino in the wild, and those who try to protect them, at greater risk as a result of a misguided, ill-informed and dangerous policy. @ChrisGPackham @domdyer70 @BellaLack RT

🧵 Increases in STEC cases, a bacterial infection which can cause severe diarrhoea, are being investigated across the UK

People asking why this is factually incorrect…I’m at a conference today so am pressed for time but I’ll quickly address each of the 5 “key points.”

Bottom line: You can dress up unsupported horseshit in as much polished data viz as you want, but it still stinks.

Globally banned, class one carcinogen, PFOS, found at 55,538 times the government's "safe" levels in soil & groundwater at site of factory producing firefighting foam,
Bentham, Yorkshire. Astounding reporting by @neill_pippa

Congratulations to @jrockstrom as he receives the 2024 Tyler Prize in Germany today. A much-deserved award for a man doing important work for a better world.

Mexico 🇲🇽 just observed its hottest day in May.

A brutal 51.1°C (124.7°F). This is less than 1°C from the all-time national record for any month.

Sadly this heatwave is far from over...

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

The government's effort over the past 4 years has been to destroy the distinction between breaking the law for honourable purposes and breaking it for selfish purposes. It is shocking and disgraceful to see @gmcuk following this agenda. https://t.co/hD56UTxXSP

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

How much of global warming is human-caused?

MORE THAN 100%

That’s right: according to natural factors, including the sun and natural cycles, the Earth should be slowly, gradually cooling right now. Instead, it’s warming.

Right: neighbour's place, sheep ✅️
Left: my place, *no* sheep ❎️

Too much grazing is the main reason why Ireland, once 80% wooded, now has the lowest natural forest cover in virtually all Europe, at around 1%.

Time to reverse the death of Irish nature.

[Dr Emma O’Neill 💚 @emoneill]
