Britain's First Megafire: A Thousand Years of Carbon Gone in Four Days. It is time for the policy debate to catch up with the science, and for the science to be heard above the noise of those who would prefer the moors to burn rather than be managed. c4pmc.co.uk/post/britain-s-f…

Puffins, Predators and Double Standards: The RSPB's Selective Science. After a 74% decline in puffins since 1999, the eradication of ferrets from NI's largest seabird colony, is a great achievement, but raises uncomfortable questions for @Natures_Voice. c4pmc.co.uk/post/puffins-pre…
