All eyes are on the #EUOceanPact - which will be unveiled today. Will it finally address the urgent need for a ban on bottom trawling in MPAs? And will it prioritise low-impact fisheries to secure a future for the ocean and those who depend on it?

German court has established that energy companies can be held liable for climate change damages. Given those damages are in the 10s of trillions of USD, this is potentially a massive deal. Huge liabilities for historic polluters as more cases get established.

"Seas off Cork a 'marine desert' due to overfishing of sprat, says owner of whale-watching business." Sprat, the basis of entire ecosystems, is being hoovered out to turn into fishmeal, an insanely wasteful process. Who or what gives them the right??? www.irishexaminer.com/news/munster...

Farage says he would pay for some multi-billion tax breaks by, among other things, "scrapping net-zero climate measures" How much does the government's main climate change department, DESNZ, spend on tackling climate change? Under £1 billion in its most recent accounts.

"75% fewer kids killed on 20mph roads compared to no effect on other roads". This statistic alone should lead to a nationwide adoption of the 20mph limit. How is this still up for debate?!
