I thought I knew the story of the "lost world" off the east coast of Britain, inhabited by Mesolithic people until rising sea waters engulfed it around 8,000 years ago...

Holy hell.

There’s an invader turning huge swathes of Britain into deserts – and these dead zones are spreading | George Monbiot
