Audiences say they wouldn’t have watched the late-night host's interview with the Texas Democratic Senate candidate if it weren’t for CBS’s decision to block it.

www.nfu.ca/stop-the-aaf... Two ways to push back against these cuts - use the Action tool to write a letter and print paper petitions, talk to people, get signatures and send to an MP for presentation in the House of Commons. The more pushback, the better chance to save our research capacity.

Nipping litter in the bud. Cotton-bud sticks were once one of the most common items of litter found on the UK’s Thames River. In 2022 they were banned and now barely register in regular litter monitoring. news.fixthenews.com/CWuBX5Y

Stripping the EPA’s authority to fight climate change is a dereliction of duty. More profits for fossil fuel executives and wealthy shareholders at the expense of our planet and future. The climate emergency is here. tinyurl.com/mryaaj9v

As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org

Even if the world pretends it isn't happening Even if the politicians are silent Even if you worry that people will think you are crazy It doesn't mean that you can't do something. Because you can still speak up. Silence is complicity. And we will not be complicit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhAS...

www.detroitnews.com/story/opinio... ‘We have some issues with Canada that should be negotiated’ You know what’s always bugged me about US?

February is pretty much the Bird Doldrums around here, but every once in a while there is an unexpected highlight. In Feb 2022, this was mine. Great Grey Owl #birds (The best part was that it wasn’t even looking at me. Undisturbed owl FTW!)
