Globalisation is under threat from Iran war – and Britain is uniquely vulnerable Economic ripples from US-Israel attacks will soon become waves, engulfing everything from energy prices to food In retaliation for the US-Israeli missile attacks, Iran has launched what amounts to all-out economic warfare. Should the conflict continue even for another week, its impacts will start to be felt around the world as the third price surge since the pandemic washes through global markets. For Britain, a further turn of the screw on living standards arrives just as political instability mounts at home, with the Labour and Conservative parties facing existential challenges to their left and right.

We've had a lot of cloud & rain in the UK over the past 4 weeks so earlier today it was great to go for a brisk countryside walk in the #sunshine with loads of #bluesky! A good way to manage the #winterblues, #enhancewellbeing, #managestress & elicit the #relaxationresponse. #Greenspace helps too!

Myth #2:

The UN has started to publish climate change facts due to the large amount of people who listen to Populist antiscience on social media.

'More outbreaks' of deadly zoonotic disease in southern Australia Researchers say leptospirosis is emerging as a climate‑driven health threat in Australia, with frequent storms, floods and heatwaves pushing the disease further south.

β›ˆοΈMore frequent storms and floods are increasing the risk of leptospirosis in rural Australia - and experts say rats and mice are also contributing to the spread. πŸ€

Out cycling on this cold, frosty, but sunny morning and spotted quite a few Cowslips in flower… normally abundant by early April here in central France, but early March?!

I wasn’t expecting to find a cowslip in flower in my Devon garden today.

For the first time in weeks I’ve been able to spend time in my (still )very soggy garden. No doubt my back will be aching tomorrow!

So what happened to the very early flowering #cowslip in my #oxeyedaisyproject I first posted on 20th December 2025? Regardless of the hard #frost, #snow, rain & wind, it is still in #flower. Photos taken yesterday. With milder winters due to #climatechange #cowslips in December may become the norm.

I was taking my weekly photo number 302 of my #oxeyedaisyproject on 20th December & noticed what looked like rubbish from a distance so imagine my astonishment when it turned out to be a #cowslip. In west Kent, England #cowslips flower in April & May so this is very early! Warm weather is one reason
