🚨BREAKING The Scottish Government has announced it's cancelling Scotland's new National Park in Galloway. This is devastating news for the local community and nature, slamming the door on the new investment and powers it would have brought. A betrayal of people and planet.

Your 'bonus moment of doom' for today: "The carbon capture company Climeworks only captures a fraction of the CO2 it promises its machines can capture. The company is failing to carbon offset the emissions resulting from its operations – which have grown rapidly in recent years."
