Impressively we are actually going backwards on protecting land for nature. "The amount of land protected for nature is down from last year’s update, which was at 3.11%, while 8% of sea in England was effectively protected for nature in 2023." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Nature in England at risk as amount of protected land falls to 2.93%, data shows

The contrast between what is happening at Ratcliffe-on-Soar coal fired power station and at Port Talbot steelworks is a grim warning. We can either work with workers and unions to transition them to good new jobs - or we can just rip a hole in a community

We have two articles on degrowth & overshoot leading The New Climate homepage today. Such an important topic, but seemingly still taboo. The pursuit of Economic Growth is killing us yet, like addicts, we refuse to stop. #Degrowthmedium.com/the-new-clim...medium.com/the-new-clim...

Whether it’s by design or disaster, our voyage into overshoot will inevitably come to an end.

That is so nicely put. So much of climate resilience - and water resilience in particular - is restoring local systems, from rewilding rivers and floodplains to city SuDS. “The next big thing... is a lot of small things.”

Beautifully put. I'm a Tadej believer. I saw him in the flesh at Milano-San Remo, where he was beaten, but just as happy as if he'd won. But boy your words "the more unbelievable it becomes, the more desperately we need to believe in it" also give me the shivers.
