The present global economic system has only one setting: destruction of everything that has true value for profit. Yet if you point this out, you're assailed by smart arses trying to show how clever they are.

Absolutely wild pink nitrogen ribbon aurora burst last night here in Iceland. There was cloud cover, and I was worried the show would stay shrouded. Voila!

It’s 1941. You've never made a movie. So you take a 1930 Dashiell Hammet novel to adapt, grab Humphrey Bogart, Peter Lorre, Mary Astor and Sydney Greenstreet and give your very first film a crack. Oh, and you call it THE MALTESE FALCON #JohnHuston

My sister gave up her job to become a full time carer for our mum who is 94. For this she received a carer’s allowance which has been stopped as she is now drawing the state pension. I don’t know if this is something to do with the last or present govt, but can someone please make it make sense!

Let's get one thing straight. What's REALLY putting jobs at risk is owners of the big fishing boats insisting on being allowed to continue hoovering up tons of wild animals way faster than they can reproduce, using ecosystem-killing methods. *Nobody* else is to blame. share.google/CCiKK8WnQTCz...

Very sad to read this morning that 3 of the WTE have had their tags removed and hidden. The birds whereabouts is unknown……… sadly one was a uk bred bird too 😔😔😔 Just deplorable actions!

It's ridiculous that the Government *still* haven't banned the sale of peat. Peat bogs are still getting dug up and used for compost and in horticulture. Ministers say they'll ban it 'when time allows'. Get on with it already! Sign the petition: actnow.peatfreepartnership.org.uk/end-peat-sal...

A new weasel species just found in China. Every time I mention “dark extinctions,” people demand proof. But how do you prove the loss of a species we never knew existed? There are more undiscovered species than known ones. Extinction often happens before discovery. www.earth.com/news/routine...
