Village psychopath enlists village idiot to cut down beloved tree. I just wish everyone who felled trees, for any reason, got as much jail time as they may

After record temperatures in 2024, climate scientists had expected this year to be cooler, but instead the planet seems to be heading for a second year above the 1.5°C climate goal newscientist.com/article/248020…

I can't help thinking about the remains they found of a disabled man who lived 4,000 years ago. The community cared for him. It's quite the contrast.

This to me is astonishing. The site of Ireland's 1st breeding Cranes in centuries, could be 'developed' as a solar farm, instead of being protected for crane recovery. "the bog with the nesting cranes is at the pre-planning stage for a solar farm" irishtimes.com/science/2025/0…

🚨 BREAKING: 20,000+ HOURS of suspected bottom trawling WRECKED the UK’s offshore marine “protected” areas last year, our research shows! 🌊 That would score tracks on the seabed that would stretch EIGHT TIMES around the UK. All with the government's permission! 1/4 🔽

Don't take the 'Abundance' premise for granted. The problem with housing isn't a supply issue, it's a distribution issue, like with wealth, food, and so much else. There's already an overabundance of human built space, and there should be much less of it
