We’ve shredded the planet’s carbon-capture machinery. The atmosphere isn’t the disease….it’s the symptom.

#Seabirds at risk: Common Guillemots concentrate for moulting where wind farms are planned in the German North Sea: see latest aerial suveys by #DDA in September 2025: www.dda-web.de/downloads/ma...

Large-scale expansion of offshore wind farms is causing large-scale habitat loss for #seabirds in the North Sea, here the guillemot. Important study from Kiel University as a warning signal for the marine environment : link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Offshore wind energy development is needed to balance the #ClimateCrisis - but it is a threat to biodiversity, including #seabirds. New maps are now available that show seabird #vulnerability in Norwegian waters, produced with SEAPOP data and by Norwegian Institute for Nature Research

Happy to have contributed to a study that shows that wind farms jeopardize the conservation targets of a Marine Protected Area in the German North Sea. #loons www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Great to see such a big snake in a modified agricultural landscape:

National Parks are a mirror of democracy — owned by the people, protected for all. Which is why, in an age of privatization and neglect, they’ve never been more imperiled.

Modern society depends on a prehistoric biosphere whose future is in peril. www.earth.com/news/modern-...

“Out of sight, out of mind” — humanity’s waste policy in one line. We ship our garbage overseas, call it recycling, and pretend it disappears. But it never does. It just poisons people we’ll never meet. abcnews.go.com/Technology/w...

This YouTube video provides significant evidence that high decibel levels (dB) of noise from wind farms occur at an infrasound rate (inaudible rate). youtu.be/gpHDJPcqCQY?... Whenever this scientist tested at neighbours’ homes, he became sick. (Migraines and sleep problems).

Birds thrive after fire — but only where we don’t log the aftermath. In the Sierra parks, no salvage crews came through. Research shows post-fire logging turns recovery into decline. Snags aren’t waste; they’re home. www.sfgate.com/bayarea/arti...

Guess they’re not super upset about getting their Esmeralda Energy Center solar project reset. 🔌💡

The Trump admin has announced sweeping measures to expand coal production on public lands. It intends to open 13.1 million acres of public land for coal leasing, significantly loosen the royalty rates that mining companies pay, and allocate large sums toward existing coal-fired power plants.

As you say Lyle, >95% of western larch forests have been lost, and nobody around now has much of an idea what they were like before logging. But we know the species is very long lived, at least up to 1,000 yrs old and growing over 9' diameter. Just a few exemplars of their real potential remain.

Old-growth western larch (tamarack) is among the rarest forests in North America. Once scattered across Oregon, Montana, Idaho, and into BC, nearly all were logged for their durable wood. What remains are scattered relics.

Reaching average rainfall for #Perth not much of a milestone Now just top extreme of rain in dryer future for south-west Western Australia, no?🤔 In bell curve: right side (above average) no longer gets rain 🤯 Consider sw drying climate impact on swWA streamflow😱 www.perthnow.com.au/wa/weather/p...

Important piece from Garrett: "I think many Americans wrongly believe there would be one clear unambiguous moment where we go from 'democracy" to 'authoritarianism.' Instead, this is exactly how it happens—a blurring here, a norm destroyed there, a presidential diktat unchallenged."

My essay on Robbins Is and why it marks turning point in Aust environmentalism. Big business doesn’t care about climate or biodiversity, it cares about profit. It can’t believe it’s luck that big environment groups turn a blind eye, giving social license to extinction. arena.org.au/summoning-up...

Alaska’s war on grizzlies isn’t about science—it’s about scapegoats. Moose or caribou decline? Blame bears. Never climate change. Never O&G development. Never us. Predators are easy to kill. Mirrors are harder to face. www.adn.com/opinions/202...

Opening roadless forests isn’t about fire prevention—it’s about logging access. 84% of wildfires are human-caused. More roads = more people = more ignition. The science is clear, but politics keeps pretending otherwise. grist.org/wildfires/wi...
