“We believe that approval of Rosebank would be ignoring the warnings of scientific research on climate change & would be the wrong decision for the UK” A letter to Burnham & Fahnbulleh signed by 575 scientists, including me www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Burnham urged to reject new North Sea drilling days before first Trump meeting
Almost 600 climate scientists, health professionals and conservationists have warned against approving the Rosebank oil field

Extinction Rebellion supporters from across the UK marched in London today demanding that the government publish the full, unredacted National Security Assessment and outline a plan for the dangers it identifies. Because we’re all in the same soup and it’s coming to the boil!

LIVESTREAM: After an extraordinary summer of heatwaves and drought, #XRUK marched through the streets of #London banging decorated pots & pans. A giant pink casserole dish symbolised how "we're all in the same soup - and it's coming to the boil!" WATCH : www.youtube.com/live/sCuHU4k...
A gigantic pink casserole dish emblazoned with the words "Too Hot To Handle" is seen being carried shoulder high through the streets of London. It contains a large frog, a chilli, a giant potato - and human arms are reaching out in desperation from the pot.

It's now extremely hard for Irish people to conceive what a wild tree even looks like, with mostly only domesticated, tamed versions remaining. This rainforest holly gives an idea. Rewilding is how we allow not only wild trees back, but the entire ecosystems of which they're meant to be a part.
