Why Stonehenge? Bracknell boasts ancient sites that trace back to the Bronze Age and Iron Age, including Caesar's Camp & Bill Hill. Bracknell also features its own standing stone, The Quelm Stone, which may have been part of a stone circle. So, Bracknell might be hiding its very own mini Stonehenge!

We've reached 1.5°C global warming. With current policies, we're heading for a catastrophic 2.7°C warming. A new review paper in Science shows: this would change the Arctic 'beyond recognition', with knock-on effects (like rising seas) around the world. 🌊 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Great to featured on the BBC News! Delighted to see the scheme extended to 2027 in Bracknell. @bracknellforest.bsky.social #Bracknell www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Hottest January on record mystifies climate scientists

Climate change target of 2C is ‘dead’, says renowned climate scientist

Climate action globally is under threat. It’s hugely urgent to seize initiative from rightwing populists. We need to change tactics: start by building climate resilience in local communities where people can feel tangible benefits – we’re calling it climate popularism. @rupertread.bsky.social & me🧵

2024 'certain' to be hottest year ever as emissions continue to drive climate change

One of the original objectives for EcoRewards in #bracknell was to help schools reduce the number of cars at drop off and pick up. By allowing a little more time to walk, cycle or wheel, we can have a healthier start to the day and reduce local pollution and congestion. #Bracknell #climateaction

@carbonbrief.org's article on why plastics matter for climate change is really good! Plastic production accounts for 5% of global emissions - 3 times more than aviation - so even if you hate clean oceans it really matters. Here's the stuff I learnt:
