The @teamlabouruk.bsky.social must stick to net zero pledges. Voters and our beleaguered planet will not forgive. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Most garden centers I visit provide a multitude of ways to kill stuff - seems like the opposite of gardening. A sea of poison and death. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Charing Cross Road, pedestrianised today. Glorious. Because whenever you take cars away, cities get better.

Poor speech from Rachel Reeves. Yesterday's growth solutions are not the way forward. We need to grow an economy that secures a liveable future for all. Polluting airports for the few ... sigh. Labour had a green growth vision that many voted for. Stick to it. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

We await for Rachel (Truss-) Reeves talk at Davos trumpeting growth before net zero. Let's hope she comes back to sense - there is no worthwhile growth without resolving the climate and nature crisis.

The case against the fossil fuel companies for the ecocide of our planet is building. It is increasingly becoming a question of when rather than if fossil fuel board members end up in prison. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Rather than going to the courts, we need DEFRA to focus on cleaning up agri-pollution. This is not burdensome red tape, simply compliance with pollution laws. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

A regular reminder that #beavers are brilliant for climate change #adaptation. They store water in times of drought, and hold it back in times of flood. And not just small volumes, but millions of litres. We could really use their help. www.wildlifetrusts.org/saving-speci...

The cost of climate change damages to the UK projected to increase from 1.1% of GDP at present to 7.4% by 2100. The cost of the Los Angeles fires estimated at $135bn – about a 3.5% total GDP loss to the Californian economy in one week. Perhaps we've under-estimated. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Hello Bluesky folks. I've transferred from X. I'm the Director of Landscape Recovery at the Wildlife Trusts and fascinated by the interaction between politics and nature's recovery. Want to see a cleaner, greener and more peaceful world. So do follow, Rob.
