It’s wonderful to see our research finally out. It shows that the amazing Devil’s Arrows in Boroughbridge, Yorkshire were transported 18km from Brimham Rocks (not Plumpton!) to the site. royalsocietypublishing.org/rspa/article/4…
Two tall tapering megaliths forming the Devil’s Arrows. A massive grey megalith with blue sky behind. One of the more squat megaliths with a sunburst behind it. A photo of two of the Devil’s Arrows.

This is a truly horrifying account of increasingly likely collapse of essential natural systems which would bring mass food shortages, price rises & global disorder. Commissioned from UK intelligence chiefs but scandalously suppressed by Govt, & sneaked out now while attention is elsewhere 👇

"After only one year, the transformation is dramatic. A colony of 2000 Sooty Terns, where there was previously none, were feeding hundreds of chicks. We also counted 1000’s of native Pisonia grandis tree seedlings across just 60 12m monitored plots on the forest floor—in 2024 we found zero." 🌏

Reflecting again on how extraordinarily warm by day spring 2025 was in this part of the world. The mean max is 0.53°C above the 2nd & a whopping 1.37°C higher than the 3rd warmest of 1945-present. Not one spring out of 1947-1989 managed 15.0°C or above. 2025's mean was 16.79°C!

The sea surface temperature of the Northern Hemisphere is now approaching an 8-sigma anomaly — an extraordinary development that suggests we are likely to witness unprecedented and extreme weather events. #ClimateFuckery

"Daylighting" is the practice in urban design of restoring buried rivers to the surface. The River Sheaf been unburied in Sheffield city centre, after 100 yrs in the dark. Fabulous. A small light in the great gloom. “It is starting to make its own meandering path…” www.bbc.com/news/article...

River Sheaf opened up next to Sheffield Castle site - BBC News
The River Sheaf has been exposed at Castlegate for the first time in over 100 years
