Watching this juvenile Hyllus Diardi carefully explore my hands is a reminder that even the smallest creatures are full of personality. Every little step is curiosity in action, and moments like these make it impossible not to fall in love with jumping spiders 🥹 #jumpingspider

I’m helping save Coul Links. Will you? Coul Links is a beautiful and unique wildlife habitat in the Scottish Highlands. But it is threatened once again with development. Join me in urging Scottish Ministers to say no to this damaging application. action.rspb.org.uk/page/166270/...

wanted this to be a spoof so so bad, hate that it's real, hideously depressing

This must be so head-spinning for them... Here's the Daily Mail trying to cover the wildfires ('Evacuate!') and record heat deaths in UK, while also trying to maintain its climate denial by running a highly misleading comment piece by Matt Ridley and an editorial focused on "water companies"

Central heating? In the UK it is generally natural gas i.e. methane. 100% fossil fuelled, so shifting to electric heating automatically cuts carbon emissions. Electrify everything....

Bordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40°C in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025. This is deeply shocking.

Just in case you've seen climate sceptics posting highly misleading charts on social media about wildfires, here's our new factcheck...

“Sure, there are climate scientists telling it like it is, making a lot of noise & often putting their livelihoods & career prospects on the line, but they remain the exception Far too many individuals still keep silent, heads below the parapet” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Wildfires are raging – and the world has junked 45 climate pledges. Disaster looms, and little wonder | Bill McGuireFive years ago, I wrote an open letter asking climate scientists to speak out. Now governments are in retreat, it is surely time to act, says climate professor Bill McGuirewww.theguardian.com

Instead of using a photo of the current conflagrations caused by climate breakdown, the Telegraph uses a pic of a wind turbine burning ... in February 2025. Because that's the important thing: 17 months ago a turbine ignited. Caption: "It’s time to cease building wind turbines". #FossilFuelStooges

I know it's not news Kemi Badenoch is not across the detail, but this is an absolute shocker. She says the UK's net zero plans are 'perversely increasing carbon emissions'. In 2019 when net zero targets were adopted emissions were 45% below 1990 levels. Last year they were 54% below 1990 levels.

So inspired to see the London premiere of NO TREES, NO SEAS - a breathtakingly shot, beautifully told story of how forests and oceans are a deeply intertwined ecosystem, & how ‘if you want to catch a fish, plant a tree’ Ace work @plantonecic.bsky.social & Sam Manning plantone.co.uk/no-trees-no-...

So, I finally did a TED talk, and it got released today. I seem to have been quite intense, but I'm grateful they left in my Trump joke. www.ted.com/talks/bill_m...

Our thanks to the numerous teams tackling the Holme Fen fire and to everyone who’s shown concern for this special site. Please share how important it is that any ignition source, from the smallest cigarette ember to portable bbqs and campfires are kept well away from our flammable dry peat soils!

Another installment of the 'native woodlands don't burn' debunking. Birch and oak are made of wood, and if they're dry enough (like in a drought) then they'll burn. And if they're on peat, they'll burn all the more. Just to reiterate, this is a fen. A famously wet habitat. On fire.

ExxonMobil will report second quarter earnings in a few days. Most analysts expect profits for the quarter will more than double compared to last year, from $7 billion to about $16 billion.

On the borders of S Sudan & CAR. Not good. Maybe the WHO ought to think about holding that meeting about maybe, possibly, trialling Zebov a bit sooner than *October*?

In an unspecified time – a future now – the youth are gathered to decide whether particular members of their parents’ generation are climate crisis criminals.
