"If this additional meltwater is included in climate projections, the overturning circulation will weaken faster. It could be 30% weaker by 2040. That’s 20 years earlier than initially projected" #AMOC #ClimateEmergency theconversation.com/meltwater-fr...

“Some 56% of farmland bought in 2023 was sold to landowners who were not working farmers. The revenue per acre is too low to warrant the purchase, unless you are extremely wealthy and are avoiding inheritance tax” 🚜🌾 vs. 🧐💰

Give a man a fish. He feeds for a day. Teach a man to fish. He feeds for a lifetime. Teach a billionaire to fish. He buys all the lakes and rivers and then charges you to fish them.

An inspirational tale for aspiring journalists. Remember, if you're a sibling of the former Prime Minister, and close personal friends with the current editor of your favourite magazine, and his ex-wife, you too can achieve your childhood dream of becoming its columnist

Musk’s tweeting behaviour mapped. Notice both the hours and the intensity. It’s clearly an addiction bundled in with spiralling narcissism. Will be interesting to see if there is a crash at some point.

Jeez. This is an outrageous post from Elon Musk. If anyone was in any doubt about where his sentiments will lie at the next UK general election look no further than this. The Prime Minister, every cabinet member & Labour MP need to join @bsky.app now

Musk bought Twitter for $44bn to boost his own adolescent voice in global politics. Everything else is noise.

Boris Johnson promised farmers that “subsidies would stay 100% guaranteed”. The National Farmers’ Union council was overwhelmingly in support of ‘Remain’, but decided not to campaign, as it would upset some of their larger farmers who were cheering Brexit.

Shooting birds isn’t a “sport”, it is a coward’s pastime and has no place in a modern society Repost and follow if you agree!

NEW: I've just been passed this excellent article from the Papua New Guinea Courier's London correspondent.

Foxes are still being hunted nearly 20 years after the Hunting Act! Loopholes like “trail hunting” allow hunts to continue killing wildlife with impunity. This is a disgrace. It’s time to end ALL hunting for good.

First day on Bluesky and it’s already clearly a nicer place than Twitter. My feed, however, is full of posts about Drake. I know nothing about this person, but I’m sure the algorithm will cotton on to that soon enough…
