Uncertainty is not your friend: In a new paper published in One Earth, scientists argue that uncertainties in climate projections mean Earth system components could be at a higher risk than we think of reaching crucial tipping points. 🌊

Feral cats and foxes really have driven many Australian mammals to extinction. Claims these introduced predators aren't responsible don't stack up. Protecting our unique species will be even harder if feral cats and foxes are given a free pass to keep killing. 🌐🌎

“Take back control” and give it all to a deeply narcissistic, malignant, unreliable and corrupt American President who is dementedly destabilising the West and siding with Putin to do so.

United States Completes WHO Withdrawal WASHINGTON — January 22, 2026 — The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of State today announced the United States’ completion of its withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) due to the organization's mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic that arose out of Wuhan, China, its failure to adopt urgently needed reforms, and its inability to demonstrate independence from the inappropriate political influence of WHO member states.
The United States has officially withdrawn from the World Health Organization.
This is a shameful move that puts both Americans and people all over the world at greater risk from disease outbreaks, which require international collaboration to contain.
The OEP’s latest annual report reveals significant gaps in the UK government’s approach to soil policy.
With new data coming and opportunities like the Land Use Framework, this could be a turning point, but only if soil is treated as the foundational asset it truly is.
Our analysis: bit.ly/3ZpcTI2
Sadly suppressing such a devastating report doesn’t make the risks go away - it just makes them even harder to deal with. Facing up to the truth is the first step to coping with it - it’s beyond scandalous that ministers tried to prevent this. They need to act - and fast
The Government wants new water laws that lock us into decades of rip-off privatisation - without asking the public.
82% of Brits support public ownership. You won’t get a say.

"I stand by my decisions as special counsel, including the decision to bring charges against President Trump. Our investigation developed proof beyond reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in criminal activity... No one should be above the law".

The Utrecht morning rush hour in the snow did not disappoint!
Screenshot of a post by Fred Wellman on X expressing outrage that Trump did not inform Congress about an operation but did inform oil companies. The post references a billionaire donor who gained control of Citgo and criticizes the use of U.S. service members to advance donor interests. The post quotes Acyn, who reports a reporter asking Trump whether oil companies were informed before the operation. Below is a repeated C-SPAN video still of Trump aboard Air Force One, facing reporters with a serious expression.

Time series of annual GISTEMP data from 1880 onwards with an estimate for 2025 based on Jan-Oct data showing that it will be cooler than 2024, but probably a little warmer than 2023.
Now that the Sept and Oct data are (belatedly) in, it looks like 2025 will be the second warmest year in the record (~80% probability). The last three years are in a class of their own.
All nations committed under the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5 degC for good reason. Instead many governments are beholden to the fossil fuel lobby and even subsidize fossil fuel use with your money. We’re now at 1.4 degC & emissions are rising not falling.
