How some of these plants are still legally sold in garden centres is just beyond me. If it's for sale, then it should be safe for use and not detrimental to wider biodiversity. End of. www.thejournal.ie/investigates...

Sigh. It wasn’t a nonevent BUT we took it seriously. It was a nonevent BECAUSE we took it seriously. Same dangerous attitude I’ve seen about ozone layer deterioration: if a major campaign of concerted action averted the problem, it must have been a fake problem. Not the correct lesson to draw!

What's the purpose of @thecccuk.bsky.social? 1️⃣Give independent net zero science advice to Government on net zero? OR 2️⃣Provide cover for whatever the Gov wants?

UK officials destroyed files on one of the most brutal post-war conflicts they fought - the forgotten war for rubber in 1950s Malaya. It was to cover up their crimes - mass bombings, decapitations, lying, forced villageisation 👇 www.declassifieduk.org/britains-for...
