As wildfires become more extreme, we're monitoring and predicting their impacts to support communities' resilience 🔥
Meet our wildfire experts Doug Kelley and Maria Barbosa at #COP30 to learn more. They're attending from 16-20 November to speak at two events.

E-petition urges Denmark to buy California from Trump
A parody online petition is pushing for Denmark to take control of California and "bring bike lanes to Beverly Hills." The campaign comes after US President Donald Trump doubled down … to take over Greenland.

A graph of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations at the Mauna Loa observatory, Hawaii, from 1958 to 4th February 2025. It shows carbon dioxide levels rising at an accelerating rate over the decades. This is known to be due to emissions of carbon dioxide from human activity, mainly fossil fuel burning but also deforestation. The first CO2 concentration value in March 1958 was 315 parts per million (ppm). The latest daily value is 426 ppm. The graph also shows a seasonal cycle of a few ppm within each year, which is known to be linked to the growing season in the northern hemisphere causing a temporary uptake of carbon in spring and summer and release in autumn. The graph is produced routinely by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego.
Although NOAA's page on atmospheric CO2 levels has vanished, you can still get this vital information from Ralph Keeling's team at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego keelingcurve.ucsd.edu

- Stuff gets hot (worse heatwaves)
- Hot air holds more water vapor (heavier rainfall)
- Hot air is thirstier air (higher drought risk)
- Warm water is hurricane food (stronger storms)
- Hot water expands and hot ice melts (sea level rise)

Spent today at the CEDA birthday shindig. Is it wrong to say that if felt a bit like watching a child graduate!?
This winter scene depicts a snowy garden transformed into a wildlife haven. A snow-laden tree with a nestbox and a Blue Tit perched nearby illustrates the importance of providing shelter. Hanging nearby is a suet feeder to provide an energy boost in cold conditions. On the right, a bare branch with bright red berries highlights how fruit-bearing shrubs and trees offer a natural winter feast. Below, a pile of logs and leaves, emphasises how leaving these natural elements provide essential cosy hiding spots for small mammals. To the left, a bird drinks from a shallow dish of water kept ice-free and topped up, ensuring a vital source of hydration. Finally, a blackbird is shown foraging on a patch cleared of snow, demonstrating how such efforts can help birds find food during harsh conditions.
Brrr! With temperatures plunging, here's how we can help wildlife weather the cold. ❄️
