It's hard to get your head around the scale of the environmental vandalism the Labour government is hoping to unleash. The Planning and Infrastructure Bill is up there with Trump's executive orders. And the reason is the same: corporate power. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"The only parts of Europe that aren’t being boiled dry are being washed away in floods. The EU must urgently update its climate targets to reflect the scientific reality, and put a stop to new fossil fuel projects as a first step to a full phase-out." – @tomgelin.bsky.social

"What we need to fix this thing is rational hope." - Katharine Hayhoe Our chief climate scientist, @katharinehayhoe.com, inspires us to stay hopeful and take action against climate change. Discover her optimistic approach and how we can all contribute to a sustainable future.

Photographs of #ScotlandsRainforest are more than just pretty pictures: they help to transport people deep into the heart of these mystical, but often remote woodlands. Last year, we asked photographer John MacPherson to capture some new images for us. This is his story: buff.ly/MPNMYNG

Happy International Women's Day!  To celebrate, we've brought together a collection of blog posts from our amazing journal editors, showcasing their work as inspiring women in the ecological community. #IWD2025 🌍🧪 https://www.britishecologicalsociety.org/international-womens-day/

Your 'bonus moment of doom' for today: Our Faustian bargain is coming due. “A shocking rise of warming has been exposed by, ironically, a reduction of pollutants, but we now have a new baseline and trajectory for where we are.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Climate change made the weather conditions that drove the LA wildfires 35% more likely. The city will continue to get hotter, drier and more flammable with continued fossil fuel burning. Our rapid attribution analysis was published this week 🧵 📷: CAL Fire

Wildfires are a growing threat to biodiversity, ecosystems, and air quality.🧯🌱 Discover the impact of human-induced fires and how climate change worsens the crisis in Charlotte Ndiribe’s insightful blog: besclimatechange.wordpress.com/2025/01/17/w...

These fires are a watershed moment, not just for residents of LA, but emblematic of a new era of complex, compound climate disaster. Conditions for a January firestorm in Los Angeles have never existed in all of known history, until they now do. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
