Bjorn Lomborg telling a private luncheon CCS is 'not going to happen.'

I will forever be haunted by this footage. Trawling has only been filmed underwater a few times in documentary history, and never with such clarity. What’s so heart-rending about these shots is watching how the animals don’t just get swept up — they swim for their lives. 🌎🦑🧪

Which would you rather sponsor for environmental action. 1. Plant one tree 2. 1 meter square of ancient woodland restoration 3. 1 meter square of peat bog restoration 4. 1 meter square of wildflower meadow creation

One day after getting a 70 acre land purchase to finally lurch forwards I decided life was too easy and went for another 11 acres adjoining it because I’m never allowed to be happy or have an easy life. Never a better time to invest in our future. www.protect.earth/act-now/land...

Who’s coming to Climates Film Festival 2025 in Frome on May 22nd? I’ll be nattering about ancient woodlands after a short film about ancient woodland restoration, with the filmmaker Charly Le Marchant, and Mick Bracken of the Woodland Trust. www.tickettailor.com/events/frome...

Bottom trawling is horribly destructive to coastal ocean ecosystems, and deep-sea mining will do the same to the open ocean. #OceanFilm 🌊

Any landowners near Coventry need ~3,000 trees / 6 acres of woodland creation this winter? Get in touch. Or wherever you are also, but had a specific request for Coventry I’m trying to handle. www.protect.earth/get-involved...

Norfolk’s factory farms are caught breaking environmental rules twice a week – but prosecutions are rare. Looser regulations are on the horizon. @owensennitt.bsky.social asks what they will do to pollution.

A lump of chalk on a frosty morning demonstrating its ability to store water.
