Costa Rica, once home to rampant logging, has now almost doubled the size of its rainforest. They turned it all around within a generation. It can be done.

"Misinformation and disinformation can no longer be viewed simply as an academic nuisance, but rather they are a societal threat. Only if we recognise that threat and act proportionately can we respond to the danger..."

Research undertaken by @ProfAAnderson found only 1 in 4 young people felt ‘very informed on climate change’.
Next week Alison will be at #EvidenceWeekwith @senseaboutsci to present ‘A Climate Problem-Solving Generation’, to improve government policy and climate education.

#H5N1 "panzootic" - "epidemic that leaps species barriers & can devastate diverse animal populations, posing a threat to humans"
So much we have to change: end #FactoryFarming, build healthier societies, protect #biodiversity

Not sure why people with such strong views are so easily manipulated by the click bait of @MailOnline . If the @nationaltrust want to change the menu to reflect Societal changes and reduce Planetary impact that’s up to them and I’m glad for it!!

Is that silly and attention seeking Rees Mogg who has lost his sphere of influence to the point he is discussing scone recipes?

It’s true members will vote on increasing our menu from 40% to 50% plant based. It’s not true that we have secret recipes - that would be illegal. We’ve had no fierce backlash, and we will survive being called silly & attention-seeking by Jacob Rees-Mogg. dailymail.co.uk/news/article…

Were there no other issue in this election, the climate crisis alone should be enough to make sure we leave Trumpism behind forever.
He is not just wrong, he's dangerous
