But it’s been cold this Summer - global warming my bottom!
Great bit of #dataviz by @neilrkaye
All the blue years were colder than this Summer.
This Summer would have been the warmest of the decade in the 1960s.
Changing perception of what’s normal.

I bet this has absolutely nothing to do with the state of our rivers and the fact the water companies pour raw sewage into them.

Does anyone have an email address for @colinobrady or his team? I’d love to chat to him/them about having a proper conversation on The Adventure Podcast about his life, career and expeditions.

They even have a “private bridge” in the Lake District, with a wee squinty bit off to the side for commoners to exercise their “right of way” into the hills.

I don’t hide the fact that I’m an enormous @GeorgeMonbiot fan, but this takes my admiration to the next level. Could it have been worded any better? No. No it couldn’t.

Never heard an applause like this on #bbcqt either.

Listened to an absolutely cracking episode of the @theadvpod while I was running last night with @MattPycroft talking to @HugoSAS. So much to unpack but flipping heck did it speak to me, especially around activism and influencing policy. Thanks guys podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…

Labour’s energy policy might as well have been written by Just Stop Oil.
They're even funded by the same person.
And their policies would threaten both our energy security and jobs here in the UK.
Today I took action to stop that from happening 👇🧵

If you are not a scientist, and you disagree with scientists about science, it’s actually not a disagreement. You're just wrong. Science is not truth. Science is finding the truth. When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more.

Amazing news on the Dartmoor verdict today.
We now need a Right to Roam Act enshrining people's right to access land and water, peacefully and responsibly across, England without being subject to the arbitrary whims of major landowners.

More of this please. Anyone want to chip in in the Peak District or Suffolk?

This 10,000-acre estate was once the Duke of Buccleuch’s grouse moor - now it’s been bought out by the Langholm community & is being restored as a nature reserve! Natural regeneration, peat rewetting, orchid meadows. Thanks Jenny & Kat (Langholm Initiative) for showing me around!

Hiking outside the UK can be one of the most powerful ways of understanding how naturally impoverished the British landscape is, particularly the high places and uplands.
A thread following a trip to the Alps which vividly reminded me of what we're missing. 🧵

This is such an amazing thread. (Thank you, Rachel!) When I was a young man, the mountain books I read were the ones about brave, bearded white men. For lots of reasons (including having a two year old daughter), I’m very glad this history exists. We can do more to share it.

When I started In Her Nature, I kept being told that women didn’t have a long history of sport. I was told that we only started running, hiking & climbing in the 1970s.When I said I wanted to write about women 100 years earlier, even my agent & editor queried whether I’d find any
