UK intelligence services say nature loss is a national security threat & loss of pollinators a major threat to UK food production. The Government knows it. MPs debated it in parliament yesterday. It’s time to treat the recovery of nature & climate as a whole-of-Government priority, not a side issue.
Global heating will reach at least 1.8C under even the most optimistic future, according to a UN report that warns every fraction of temperature rise intensifies destructive extreme weather, glacier melt, ecosystem loss, and island and coastal city submersion. www.theguardian.com/environ...

But will his daughter will agree? Or 'live with it'? Why should girls & women be OK with coming second to males in women's sport? But yes, carry on, two blokes talking about women's sport. Nobody checks genitalia. Everyone knows their sex. Female people are entitled to equal human rights.

You say a conversation is important and urgently needed yet turn off replies and remove comments that challenge your position. Which shows that you don’t actually care about tackling sex crimes. bsky.app/profile/barb...
Q Manivannan MSP@qmanivannan.bsky.social · 4w agoIn a country where rape has the lowest conviction rates of any crime, and reoffending continues, this is an urgent and important conversation we need to have in Scotland.

You and the Scottish Greens actively oppose laws that help prevent rape and allow women and girls the spaces and services they need to help deal with trauma from sexual violence. In your whole thread you fail to mention that rape and SA are almost exclusively male crimes and victims mostly female.
