A Common Toad in the garden today.... @froglife.bsky.social

A distinctive rough, brown blotchy, and olive-brown, warty skinned amphibian was crawling around the border today. Toads tend to crawl rather than hop and have oval, horizontal pupils if you look closely. It is crawling around among the vegetation and dark brown soil of the border.

Must read on how deaths from extreme heat/climate crisis are being hidden from public view in the US. It’s killing you, but you’re not allowed to know about it. Excellent work by my colleague @ninalakhani.bsky.social
Read it here: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Americans are dying from extreme heat. Autopsy reports don’t show the full story

Official reports are likely to overlook heat’s role in a death. As US temperatures rise, experts say the true toll needs to be counted
