New coal mine; Rosebank; 100 new oil & gas licences; shit in the rivers; neonicotinoid derogations; delays to electric cars & environmental building rules & ELMs; more shit in the rivers; etc. etc.. Could our government care any less for our planet?

Please screen-grab this tweet and keep it handy when food prices soar , water-wars break out , your house burns down , your business is washed away , polar bears are extinct or in a few years time when a desperate and angry young person asks you who was responsible for killing their world . . .
Today we are saying no to @JustStop_Oil and their political wing the Labour Party
We will power ahead with new oil and gas because it’s in the best interests of the British people, of our economy and of our national security

Only government can be surprised - when farmers used less chemical fertiliser, crop yields rose! Nitrate fertiliser is a pollutant. First made in bomb factories, the US unleashed it to disrupt sustainable farming everywhere. Is 'green revolution' the greatest scam of all time?

Costa Rica, once home to rampant logging, has now almost doubled the size of its rainforest. They turned it all around within a generation. It can be done.

Please don’t do that @RishiSunak. Asking for a future generation that includes your own children. Thanks.

Those radical hippy, lentil-weaving, eco-commies at the *checks notes* Office for Budgetary Responsibility have concluded it'll cost a lot more to remain reliant on fossil fuels than it'll cost to decarbonise. businessgreen.com/news/41201…

I’ve been illustrating the insects I spot in our tiny city garden. I’m astonished by the species diversity in such a small space (this is just a selection). We avoid mowing & digging, encourage ground cover, nurture weeds, created a small pond and log pile.

There is no justification for expanding fossil fuel production
Net zero emission means NO new production NOW, halving production in next 10 years & reducing it as close to zero as possible by 2050
Using @IPCC_CH as an excuse for 🛢️expansion is dishonest

This is the Japanese Puffer Fish - one of #nature's greatest artists. To grab a female’s attention he creates something that defies belief.
Nature is more amazing than we will ever know. Protect it in all its forms.

"It’s time to classify plastics as persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic pollutants"
“We live in the age of plastic — the Plasticene”
“We need to wake up the world and understand the risks of these pollutants”

What a contrast.
Paris spends €1bn to clean up the Seine so people can go swimming in it while last year alone @thameswater spent 7,000 hours dumping sewage into 31 of London's rivers all of which ends up in the Thames.
Ho hum.
