Truly #trump is the real life starring actor of #idiocracy Yet republicans seemingly are impotent or unwilling to rock the boat. Who is actually scamming who ………

Turns out those complaining about "the vegetable lobby" are just angry with...the public. Developers have failed to build affordable homes. Scapegoating nature for their failure is wrong. It's also a vote loser.

Fascinating no responses no doubt Elon musk algorithm for non subscribers?

#r4today packham is right. Those who speak for nature have not done enough and need to up their game. As an academic I collectively feel my own failure in such respects. However using a fear factor narrative is not likely to work as crisis is overused .

#r4today Need to engage with publics and others on their priorities and connect our nature narrative within those rather than operate in our own silo and echo chamber. That requires working outside our jargon and usual suspects .

Watching Labour MPs take a wrecking ball to nature makes me so angry & so sad. Their action tonight voting down amendments to the #Planning bill intended to protect wildlife & habitats from destruction is so reckless & so counterproductive. People didn’t vote Labour for this 👇

⚠️Planning bill update ⚠️ as expected Labour was whipped into voting down every amendment that would protect nature from this bill. They rejected the most basic fluffing protections for endangered species. They even rejected saving chalk streams! Now it goes back to the Lords

This is deeply disappointing from Starmer. The UK *helped design* this 'TFFF' fund, designed to stop deforestation, and supposedly 'continues to back the fund' (in theory). But now isn't putting any money into it 🤯 How embarrassing for the UK. theguardian.com/environment/20…

The climate emergency and nature loss is a growing threat to our national security, including the risk of spiralling food prices. We are running out of time to secure global action that protects a liveable planet for the future. Important discussions at @CommonsEAC last week.

Finland just switched on the world’s largest sand battery. 🇫🇮⚡️ Built by Polar Night Energy, it stores 100 MWh of heat — enough to power the town of Pornainen for a week — cutting emissions by 70%. Real innovation looks like this, not more oil rigs. newatlas.com/energy/largest…
