Dear Bluesky-friends, I am back to ask another favour. Gull-billed tern chick H36 has died close to Parque Nacional de Doñana. It seems to be on a small island in the Caño de Guadiamar: maps.app.goo.gl/Z195ha4z9zYY...

New research shows that MPs underestimate support for climate policies, and overestimate opposition A terrible situating with a big silver lining - if we all communicate how much we want action, and visibly demand it, that perception will change Write to your MP!

Perception gaps in the British Parliament reveal a possible pathway to stronger climate policy action - Communications Sustainability

United Kingdom Parliament members underestimate support for climate policies, yet the patterns reveal a correctable pathway to stronger advocacy, according to a survey experiment comparing their estimates with nationally representative polling.

Before the deniers start saying “it’s El Niño, not climate change” While natural cycles dictate El Niño's arrival, climate change will turn El Niño's signature floods, heatwaves, and famines into more intense extreme weather events phys.org/news/2026-08...

What a record-breaking El Niño could mean for the world

This year's El Niño is on track to be the strongest on record, threatening to unleash extreme weather across the globe and make 2027 the hottest recorded year by far.

Trump Administration Moves to Allow Logging in Pristine National Forests

The move to repeal the ‘roadless rule’ would pave the way for road construction and logging in nearly 45 million acres of untouched back country.

Great day out in the field with @watts-km.bsky.social at Chesterblade hills LERN site in Somerset. So interesting to see the setup comparing planting, applied nucleation, & natural regeneration as well as comparisons with mature woodlands, fenced/unfenced & gradient in distance from seed sources.

Just one possible outcome... but the GFS weather forecast model is suggesting 40-41°C is possible in the UK around 7th July. This is a long-range forecast with significant uncertainty, but the fact that we are even seeing such values fairly regularly in the forecasts is extraordinary.

More evidence, from a large-scale study in China, that using AI hurts learning if it undermines mental effort. When homework time drops due to AI use, so do test scores. Across studies, there is a clear theme: AI tutoring in support of classes is good, using AI to "help" with homework is bad.

Everyone should be boycotting everything that has even the slightest involvement of FIFA until that irredeemable mafia organisation is burned to the ground and replaced with something else.

That’s called a bribe.

I ran out of steam to post about our @britishecologicalsociety.org funded workshop on forest restoration in Piracicaba, Brazil... However, reflecting on it a month later, it was a fantastic event that really helped to open my eyes to restoration in different contexts.

Are you into molecular ecology and bioinformatics? If the answer is yes, then you should totally apply for this position with @ainhoamagrach.bsky.social and co. The lab is next door to my office and they're a great and supportive team working on super interesting topics.
