It's embarrassing they would publish such obvious rubbish. telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/10…
We must save the grouse moors from the menace of David Attenborough

We must save the grouse moors from the menace of David Attenborough

They teem with birdlife, much of it endangered, because the owners employ keepers to control the predators

It's time we ended the myth that landowners who run shooting estates are good custodians of the land. Let the national parks be nationalised. #dartmoor #righttoroam theguardian.com/uk-news/2025…

Actually it's worse than it looks. This extreme cold above Siberia is caused by climate change itself. Forests are lost. Wasteland is not able to retain warmth from September till March (darkness). Keynote: The more trees, the more climate-stable an area. teapawt.net/KrVaSt/status/13695773…

For all the climate change deniers: The extreme cold above Siberia (anomalies of up to -10°C) is actually the baddest thing of all. Burned land (forest fires 2020) retains less heat. Even burning land (peat fires 2021) retains less heat. Summer heat will compensate this soon!

This is massive, and horrific. @NFUtweets is secretly lobbying the government to allow #neonicotinoid pesticides to be reintroduced after Brexit. It tells its members: "Please refrain from sharing this on social media." On the contrary, please RT. campaigns.nfuonline.com/page…

Um, Fox News says 70% of voters want the government spending more on green energy. I think we might be winning the messaging battle on this one.
