My latest: The mass firings at NOAA can feel abstract. Here's what was lost at one research center -- the birthplace of climate modeling. Fired staff became U.S. citizens to pursue these dream jobs, only to have their dreams upended.

🦡Pleased to see @rspcaoffficial.bsky.social in Parliament today. Our current wildlife laws are 200 years old - from snares still being legal to badger baiting going unchallenged, these outdated laws put far too many animals in harm's way. We urgently need stronger protections for wildlife🦊

The “price” and “prize” of being spared tariffs from the US is a bilateral trade deal, on terms which are unlikely to be favorable for the UK, and will surely make any realignment with the EU impossible. This presents Starmer with an incredibly tough choice.

One of the people fired from NOAA today is the director of the Ocean Acidification Program. That program also leads the U.S. government's effort on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). The destruction of American science is incomprehensible.
