Government gives go-ahead to Portland incinerator. Will Canford incinerator be next? This would belch toxins & forever chemicals into Wimborne’s air

@BCPCouncil must say *NO* to Canford Incinerator: energy from waste is neither needed nor wanted

We're offering a PhD place on Rewilding!

This PhD will study the wilder grazing at Purbeck Heaths ‘Super National Nature Reserve’, which is shifting towards the restoration of natural processes to create a more dynamic, complex landscape

It is vital that our MPs attend this reading of the CAN Bill - this is critical for our future. Please attend @VikkiSlade72

[Extinction Rebellion Wimborne @XRWimborne]

Will you attend the second reading of the Climate and Nature Bill @VikkiSlade72 💚😊

Wimborne marks Cop29 by reading aloud the voices of the Global South - including the words of Vanessa Nakate, Ugandan environmental activist, and Licyprita Kangujam, child environmental activist from India

UN’s climate negotiations continue at COP29 in Azerbaijan, a petrochemical state implicated in ethnic cleansing. But there is so much at stake for the Global South, we can’t just dismiss COP29 as another failed conference 🧵 #Cop29 #ClimateFinance

So, I've just spent a bit of time looking into the debate on IHT and farming. I... got a shock. First, a note: I have a friend who runs a family farm. In his view, the whole thing is a something and nothing. 🧵

[Tom Bacon @TomABacon]

And this third point is very significant: we have evidence the rich are deliberately investing their money in land to avoid paying IHT. Jeremy Clarkson himself admitted that was why he bought so much land in an interview with the Times back in 2021. /5

[Guy Shrubsole @guyshrubsole]

"1% of the population own half the land in England... the media have portrayed a very distorted view of the countryside, how land is used & who owns it"

Great to speak to @mrjamesob on @LBC about the #ClarksonTax protests - watch the full interview:

[Torsten Bell @TorstenBell]

So much misinformation around today on who will be affected by changes to inheritance tax - and lobbyists pretending the data isn't clear to obfuscate. We have detailed data on estates so the truth is in fact very clear if you care to look 🧵

[James Bullock @JMBecologist]

Protest is our right

And the media has a big role in reporting it in an unbiased way

So compare front page coverage of a few thousand farmers protesting yesterday

with virtually no coverage of the 10s of thousands at the Restore Nature Now protest earlier this year

Many scientists seem not to understand the philosophy of science

Science (or the scientific process) has no values, but scientists do https://t.co/2ZUmN5NuAR

@EuropeanSlpr could you confirm the departure & arrival times for the ES 452 from Berlin hbf to Brussels today?

Your emails are giving conflicting messages

Someone had to...

Clifton Suspension Bridge have left X.

[James Bullock @JMBecologist]

So - loads of people are leaving X

Wondering whether to do so myself…

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

We still do not know what causes autism.

We do know that the MMR vaccine does not cause autism.

We need more research on the cause of autism.

We don't need more research on MMR as a cause of autism (it's been done and its not).

[James Bullock @JMBecologist]

There are 3 important global conservation targets for 2030: protect 30% land & sea; halt forest loss, and restore 350 Mha of degraded landscapes

Our new analysis suggests that under current trajectories, all 3 targets will be missed - by a large margin

@GeneticsMike7 “with guidance”

[James Bullock @JMBecologist]

PhD students are not there to do a defined piece of research for their supervisor(s)

They are there to do their own research, which they design themselves (with guidance)

If PIs want a specified piece of work done, hire someone to do it
