Prince William is right. We are dangerously close to irreversible tipping points that will change the Earth forever. The best science is that five of them lie beyond the 1.5 degree limit we are just about to breach. heraldscotland.com/news/national/…

Why does this important revelation by Helena Horton and Sandra Laville not surprise me? The governments planning policies published over a year ago read as if written by house builders, and they have moved unimaginably in their favour ever since. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
