My column on how capital becomes a death cult. Faced with a choice between profit and human life, the radical right chooses profit. Then it tries to persuade us that mass death is what we want. It's the new phase of climate denial: accept your fate, earthlings. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Murderous heat, an endangered food supply, decimated landscapes: embrace the Mediterranean life | George Monbiot

As climate disaster stares us in the face, the radical right says ‘Embrace the Mediterranean life’. Embrace death, more like it, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

For many years, this hawthorn grew alone in an open landscape. Now a young species-rich rainforest ecosystem is building all around. Nature loss isn't inevitable: it *can* be reversed, through rewilding.

We are certainly down the wrong road. In our hubris, we imagine we can make things better when we only ever make things worse...Eden exterminated

Very well done Sainsbury's in Wareham...but the idiots will just buy them elsewhere. Single use BBQs need to be banned outright.

Vikki Slade MP@vikkislademp.bsky.social · 3d ago

A big thank you to Sainsbury's in Wareham for taking disposable BBQ's off of their shelves 🎉 In hot, dry conditions like this summer, these disposable BBQs are a major preventable ignition source. Try using a fixed or reusable BBQ in a safe, designated area, or swap to a picnic or cold meal instead

Orcas are among the most intelligent animals on Earth, featuring massive, complex brains with high emotional reasoning. You cannot fool them easily. Original post

Most lowland woods in England are criss-crossed with drainage ditches, dug to help intensive forestry exploitation. Most woods no longer managed, but drainage still maintained for convenience of dogwalkers etc., losing ponds, bogs. Re-wetting woodland to buffer against droughts should be a priority.

Guy Shrubsole@guyshrubsole.bsky.social · 4d ago

Australia has a completely different set of ecosystems to the UK. In Britain, you don’t fight fire with fire: you fight it with water. We have allowed landowners to comprehensively drain our peat bogs, remove farmland ponds, riddle landscapes with field drains. Make Britain Wet Again!
