This explains a lot. I'm glad it wasn't just my sense of things! metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/press…

Totally agree with all this. Here's what we could do - very gradually bring mortgage limits back to max 3x salary. It is the relaxation of mortgage limits that allowed house prices to inflate. In parallel bring in more social housing, and rent regulation. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

To my Cardiff/ near Cardiff contacts - this Wednesday 3rd May I and Motion Manor - The Animation & Illustration Studio are hosting the next People, Planet, Pint networking event at Zero Degrees in Cardiff city centre. We will be there from 17:30 and will likely be around until at least 20:00. eventbrite.co.uk/e/cardiff-peop…

This is why I'm very optimistic for the future. I call it maths based optimism! We just need to stop finding excuses not to do things so we can enable a faster decarbonisation transition. Ask, what's the risk of not doing this? Rather than, what's the risk of doing this?

Completely agree, food banks not the answer. Not food poverty - just poverty. Food cost not the cause of poverty + can't change food prices. Drivers are low wages, a crap social security system, and costs of housing, energy, comms, and public transport. theguardian.com/society/2023/j…

This whole thread is excellent and quite eye opening. Private water companies environmentally insolvent.

'Our historical ability to wipe out life does NOT render it alien to our shores.' 👏😀 A wonderful thread on a keystone species that benefits wildlife and farming. Disgrifiad hyfryd o rywogaeth sydd o fudd i fywyd gwyllt a ffermio.

A 🧵on why oil companies don't invest in renewables, what the UK Government is now overtly doing to assist big oil, and what it should be doing. 1/

Great to see this thinking becoming reality. Lets base our work time on actual evidence of what works, and around the type of society we actually want to live in. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Very true. Housebuilding lobby needs to be put in its place on its environmental impacts. And start building council houses using publicly owned companies so we aren't relying on big private housebuilders to build houses for us.

Well worth a watch. This is why I am also optimistic for the future. I call it maths based optimism! There is already so much good stuff happening.

A great graph of predicted solar PV additions Vs where we've actually got to! Everything happens in exponentials people.

Great to see this around urban areas. Time for some of this in Wales! Tir Natur Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru | Natural Resources Wales Welsh Government Welsh Parliament

Really important research from Dave Goulson. There are really effective herbal solutions for dog fleas, as there are for lice in human hair. Why poison our pets, us, our natural water systems and the environment? All these chemicals need to be challenged.

Happy #WorldWetlandsDay! 💧 Covering <1% of the earth's surface, wetlands contain nearly 12% of all biodiversity - and beavers can help supercharge these habitats. A study by University of Stirling found the number of species in beaver-created wetlands was 50% greater than in other wetlands!

A great step in the right direction for wetlands and river corridors in #Wales - not just for wildlife but for people. Important now to not faff around too long with getting legal protection in place and properly managed releases in place. We know what to and where to do it.

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. 🧵

A record 3 #WhiteTailedEagle chicks have fledged in the wild in England this summer including the first in Dorset for over 240 years! The chicks were reared by eagles released by Forestry England & Roy Dennis Foundation in our project to return this lost species🦅 bit.ly/4mwTz53
