Don’t believe the fake gloom about London ft.trib.al/oJEmKZq
Anyone else having problems giving to charity today via @biggive and the #christmaschallenge? Each time, I get right to the end only to be told that the matched funds I was promised at the start are not available. Tried different PCs and browsers. Something wrong?

"To increase forest resilience, coniferous trees need to be replaced by deciduous species over large parts of their distribution. If local seed provenances are used, this would result in a decrease of the current carbon sink (40 TgC/ yr) by 34–41% by 2061–2080. However, if seed provenances adapted to future climates are used, current sinks could be maintained or even increased to 48–60 TgC /yr." nature.com/articles/s41558-0…

Hello X folks, naughty @virginmedia have been overcharging for my broadband. They've admitted it in writing and said they would correct. But no joy. Phoning takes forever. Any way to get them to put it right, short of the #Ombudsman or small claims court? @louise_eccles
