Vast ecological deserts exist due to sheep, but 'My sheep are great for biodiversity'.

“Antarctic ocean currents heading for collapse.”

We have no idea what we’re playing with.

Ignore siren voices, tempting as it is to put this nightmare out of our minds.

We must end our use of fossil fuels and restore nature across the globe as quickly bbc.com/news/world-aus……

Amazing all the sheep farmers coming on here to say *their* sheep never touch native tree seedlings etc, presumably only eating what they're told.

Certainly quality of life is not high on the agenda of the anti-net zero lot. Pretty much every action we might take to tackle the climate issue leads to a cleaner, better, more pleasant way of life.

More absolutely horrendous news on the global heating front.

Our climate is falling apart in front of our eyes.
