🚨By striking Iran's embassy in Syria, Netanyahu knew Iran would have to strike back. So as the world watches these small suicide drones flying towards Israel, with GPS jammed (means they won't hit their targets), Netanyahu is managing to switch the narrative, framing Israel as a…

What terrifies the hell out of me about this unprecedented high rainfall over the last 18 months, and the huge impacts on British agriculture. Is the total denial, and the complete lack of joined up thinking. This is what lay behind my recent posts on this.

The potential explosion of mining for copper, lithium and other rare earth minerals threatens nearly 1/3 of Africa’s great apes.

In fact, mining companies are not required to disclose their impacts on biodiversity, making that number an underestimate. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
