The amount of extra heat humans are adding to the ocean is 14 zettajoules which is equal to 7 atomic bombs detonating every second of every day for a year. Since 1955 oceans have absorbed excess heat enough to boil 60 billion Olympic swimming pools www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/...

Indeed, studies have shown that immigrants are convicted of violent felonies at just 1/3 of the rate natural born Americans do. Removing immigrants will actually increase the per-capita statistic for violent crime convictions.

May 2015. David Cameron was Prime Minister, UK an EU member, Barack Obama was US President, and this male Marsh Tit hatched in Monks Wood. Colour-ringed 28 August 2015. Photo 2 April 2016.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

I was lying in bed, wondering how cannibalism fell out of favour, as you do... Now that humans number 8 billion, it may end up as the only sustainable option 😆 I happened upon an Australian scientist who tackled this meaty issue with typical Aussie humour: particle.scitech.org.au/health/food/...

Rescued chimpanzee thanks Jane Goodall by giving her a hug Vale Jane ….thankyou for everything you did in your amazing life ⚜️💙⚜️👏⚜️💙⚜️

Extraordinary that a peaceful environmental protester faces losing his home over his opposition to the destruction of ancient woods and trees. Gofundme page for Dr Larch Maxey here gofund.me/ce4ec3de0 @chrisgpackham.bsky.social

Great appeal here to protect a fantastic ancient woodland in Buckinghamshire. I've just walked through this landscape – the ancient royal hunting forest of Bernwood is being bisected by HS2 – and it is a magical area. Good luck @bbowt.bsky.social! www.bbowt.org.uk/news/wildlif...

Did u know? This autumn, don't clear away dead plants. Ladybirds sleep in curled up leaves; bees overwinter in hollow stems; caterpillars take refuge in long grass & spiders rely on dead stems to hang their webs on. It might look like *rubbish* to you, but it's home to someone else. 🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍🕷️🪲🐞🐛

Did u know? Soil is like skin on our body.It's a living thing that contains precious nutrients & life that sustain it - & digging destroys that. So,to create a new veg bed,I'm using the no-dig method. I'm creating new soil by piling up green & brown material & leaving the worms to do the rest.🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍🪱

Thames Water lenders submit rescue plan to stave off collapse- may write off a third of the £20bn debt. It can't solve the crisis: It is a monopoly No competition No substitute service Owners want profit Customers will be fleeced Public ownership is the only viable option.

“It actually doesn’t take much to be considered a difficult woman. That’s why there are so many of us.” ― Jane Goodall 💙 RIP to a real one. My childhood hero

The naturalist Jane Goodall died today at 91. Hope, she argued, is not merely “passive wishful thinking” but a “crucial survival trait.” Revisit a conversation with Goodall, from 2021: nyer.cm/F55JtsS

There's no thought about the consequences to the natural world - “The wildlife there have existed for and evolved over thousands of years in a connected ecosystem and this wall will sever populations in half”
