Government gives go-ahead to Portland incinerator. Will Canford incinerator be next? This would belch toxins & forever chemicals into Wimborne’s air
@BCPCouncil must say *NO* to Canford Incinerator: energy from waste is neither needed nor wanted

We're offering a PhD place on Rewilding!
This PhD will study the wilder grazing at Purbeck Heaths ‘Super National Nature Reserve’, which is shifting towards the restoration of natural processes to create a more dynamic, complex landscape

UN’s climate negotiations continue at COP29 in Azerbaijan, a petrochemical state implicated in ethnic cleansing. But there is so much at stake for the Global South, we can’t just dismiss COP29 as another failed conference 🧵 #Cop29 #ClimateFinance

So, I've just spent a bit of time looking into the debate on IHT and farming. I... got a shock. First, a note: I have a friend who runs a family farm. In his view, the whole thing is a something and nothing. 🧵

And this third point is very significant: we have evidence the rich are deliberately investing their money in land to avoid paying IHT. Jeremy Clarkson himself admitted that was why he bought so much land in an interview with the Times back in 2021. /5

"1% of the population own half the land in England... the media have portrayed a very distorted view of the countryside, how land is used & who owns it"
Great to speak to @mrjamesob on @LBC about the #ClarksonTax protests - watch the full interview:

So much misinformation around today on who will be affected by changes to inheritance tax - and lobbyists pretending the data isn't clear to obfuscate. We have detailed data on estates so the truth is in fact very clear if you care to look 🧵

Protest is our right
And the media has a big role in reporting it in an unbiased way
So compare front page coverage of a few thousand farmers protesting yesterday
with virtually no coverage of the 10s of thousands at the Restore Nature Now protest earlier this year

We still do not know what causes autism.
We do know that the MMR vaccine does not cause autism.
We need more research on the cause of autism.
We don't need more research on MMR as a cause of autism (it's been done and its not).

There are 3 important global conservation targets for 2030: protect 30% land & sea; halt forest loss, and restore 350 Mha of degraded landscapes
Our new analysis suggests that under current trajectories, all 3 targets will be missed - by a large margin

Too often reviewers & editors seem to think authors should act on every point raised in an ms review
If the authors can give a good argument why they should not do as requested, that should be sufficient to make a decision
Rather than going back & forth, again & again
