A World Without Clouds

A state-of-the-art supercomputer simulation indicates that a feedback loop between global warming and cloud loss can push Earth’s climate past a disastrous tipping point in as little as a century.

You can do Farnborough to London in 40 minutes for £20 on the train. Yet it's the most popular route for private jet travel in the UK. Let's not pretend this is normal www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...
Why it’s time for the ultra-rich to abandon luxury—and their private jets—to save the world
Do you fancy chartering a private jet for a £1m world tour? Perhaps £62,000 on a new watch, or £89,000 on a bracelet? There is a magazine to cater to ...

You would think this to be a no-brainer. Cruel and indiscriminate. Let's ban snaring throughout the UK. #Wildlife
From today, it is an offence to set a snare in #Scotland for the purpose of killing or restraining a wild animal.

Wales banned snaring last year.

#Snares have not yet been banned in England, where 200,000 of these traps lie hidden in the countryside at any one time.

Be concerned, if you were not already.
Difficult to describe what a dangerous moment we are in.

The owner of Twitter/richest man in the world/closest adviser to the next US president is promoting a far-right Tommy Robinson (!) documentary to his 200 million followers.

This is the mainstreaming of violent, Islamophobic fascism.

Please spare a thought for James Dyson, the Brexit-voting billionaire who bought up 33,000 acres of farmland to avoid tax then moved his business to Singapore. He's the real victim here.
