Something wonderful for the weekend! About 40,000 years ago, during the #IceAge, an ancient artist skilfully sculpted this tiny head of a cave lion from mammoth ivory. It is one of the World’s oldest known works of figurative art. 📷 by me #Archaeology

We don’t know how close we are to triggering an Atlantic Ocean circulation #AMOC breakdown - but now we know a lot more about what it would mean for extreme temperatures in Europe. Good @carbonbrief.org piece on a new study just out by the Dutch colleagues! 🌊 www.carbonbrief.org/ocean-curren...

Climate.gov, a major US government website supporting public education on climate science, will likely shut down after almost all of its staff were fired. What would be worse is if the website were co-opted to publish climate denial content.

Speeding is for people who can't do math. The majority of car trips in the US are less than 6 miles. If you drive 30 mph instead of 20 mph, you'll only get there 6 minutes earlier but you're much more likely to kill someone. Just leave 10 minutes earlier and drive slower.

More than 5 million people in the UK are experiencing financial, health and housing insecurity at levels not seen since the 2008 economic crash. But it doesn't have to be this way. Austerity is a political choice. Labour could choose to tax wealth fairly instead. Now is the time.

Reform UK has uncovered the scandal of a “wasteful” £350m contract. Small problem: it’s not a contract. Or £350m. Or a scandal. Here’s how they got it completely wrong. 👇👇

While everyone is enthralled by the Trump / Musk bust up, this is happening in the background. Not even a hint of slowing down. We are the 'frog slowly being boiled alive'. Maybe media and politicians need to focus on what's important. And I've not even mentioned the genocide being ignored in Gaza.

Wellman: When I served in Iraq.. I heard about how Saddam Hussein divided them. Different sects fought each other. But you know -- Saddam and his family sat laughing at all of them. They divided them against each other and kept their power for 35 years. Does this sound familiar to anybody?

Plastic pollution isn't just about litter. It's also fuelling the climate crisis and destroying wildlife. That's why we need a Global Plastics Treaty that sets legally binding limits on single-use plastics. It's about using less, not just recycling more. Big oil doesn't want this. We demand it.

UK MPs call for ban on bottom trawling in protected marine areas Story by @fionaharvey.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

submitted 10 days ago • 4 comments

This is welcome and long overdue. MPs are now calling on the UK government to ban trawling and dredging in "Marine Protected Areas". It's outrageous that this wholescale destruction is permitted anywhere, let alone in these "reserves". It has to stop. committees.parliament.uk/publications...

This isn't surprising (to me) but it is actually quite strange, as the SPS agreement hasn't been reached and until it is the risks of not having full import controls continue. Plus, the statement reads as if a deal is guaranteed, but if it doesn't happen UK will be even further behind in preps.
