Shift in the Gulf Stream could signal ocean current collapse Models show that as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation gets weaker, the Gulf Stream will drift northwards. There are signs that this is already happening, and a more abrupt shift could warn of more severe climate impacts

Cheltenham Festival ends with four horse death – two on last day Envoi Allen and Saint Le Fort both died on Friday on the last day of Cheltenham Festival.

Absolutely disgusting

And there is a difference between 'died' and put down for who knows what reason - can't race any more? A burdon on the owner? No longer profitable?

They may have had the worst start in life possible but they are blessed to have you beside them

Night night, sleep well 🐾

My piece today on the escalating levels of assault on ambulance personnel.Why body armour should be part of a package of measures for a safer environment for paramedics and technicians in our overworked and sometimes undervalued emergency service.

Ozzy has grown into a wonderfully gangly teenager.

And new boy Yaman has settled in nicely.

It didn’t take long for him to feel part of things. 🐾

A horse's whinny is unlike any other sound in nature Horses use their larynx to make two sounds simultaneously, so they are effectively singing and whistling at the same time

Another report, the same story – but louder.

We're way off track.

With just four years left until 2030, the UK’s Seventh National Report shows we’re failing 19 out of 23 nature targets.

It’s more proof that progress simply isn’t keeping pace with reality 👇

Earth is now heating up twice as fast as in previous decades Since 2014, the planet has been warming by about 0.36°C per decade, according to an analysis of five temperature datasets, raising fears that climate tipping points could be crossed earlier than expected

Driving 4x4s up and down our chalk streams puts our local ecosystems at risk.

I spoke to ITV this week about this trend of ecological vandalism and how I am calling on Hampshire County Council to take decisive action to protect our chalk streams.

A car stopped at a flooded road intersection at dusk. So the image has a bluey hue.

Stop thinking climate change means graphs and ice caps. Prof Rupert Read reframes it as something tangible: flooded businesses, devastated crops, anxious households – and choices we can still make to reduce harm.

KFC, Nando's, and others ditch chicken welfare pledge as demand soars Wingstop, Burger King, and others have walked away from an industry commitment to avoid using fast-growing chickens

Very disappointing to see big brands ditch the Better Chicken Commitment.

Animal welfare shouldn’t be a marketing slogan — it’s a core responsibility.

Standards shouldn’t drop when profits are under pressure.

Trump opens marine national monument in Atlantic to commercial fishing Off the coast of Cape Cod, the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument is a unique stretch of ocean that had been protected for a decade.

Here’s the latest proof of what we warned about in our latest @therevelator.org piece: Protections w/out durability aren’t protections at all. Trump reopening an Atlantic marine monument to commercial fishing shows how 30x30 collapses when conservation can be erased every four years—at whim, by pen.
