Spiralling global temperatures (1850-2026) It is exactly 10 years since I first put this animated graphic of changes in global temperature online. #ClimateSpiral It instantly went viral. People watched it over and over again. It still offers the power to shock a decade on.

“Our planet’s biodiversity provides all the things we need for free, but it will only do so if there’s lots of it." On Sir David Attenborough’s birthday, let's remember his message on the importance of biodiversity in abundance. In his wise words, we already know what to do. 📹 WWF OurPlanet
