Collapse of critical Atlantic current is no longer low-likelihood, study finds Scientists say ‘shocking’ discovery shows rapid cuts in carbon emissions are needed to avoid catastrophic fallout

”Scientists have warned previously that Amoc collapse must be avoided ’at all costs’. It would shift the tropical rainfall belt on which many millions of people rely to grow their food, plunge western Europe into extreme cold winters and summer droughts, and add 50cm to already rising sea levels.”

Logging is quietly ravaging US forests. Trump is taking an axe to protections Unsustainable logging is one of the global north’s best-kept secrets. We’re running out of time to stop it

"The global north has long dictated the terms of international forest policy, supporting stricter environmental standards on tropical nations while sidestepping accountability at home."

For those who might need this today - here's a clip of Crinan Wood's dawn chorus in early May last year. The woods is a small fragment of Atlantic rainforest and is to me a constant reminder of how magical the world can be. @wtscotsocial.bsky.social

Bezos focuses Washington Post opinion pages on free markets and liberties The move marks a major shift and prompted the outlet's opinion editor David Shipley to resign.

“We are going to be writing every day in support and defence of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets,“ Bezos said, adding that “viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others”

Country Overshoot Day 2025 calendar The Country Overshoot Day 2025 calendar shows the dates by which humanity would have used up everything Earth can renew for that year, if all people consumed at the level of that country.

Ifjol var Sveriges overshoot day 21 april. I år är det 10 april. Det går åt fel håll. Om alla levde som vi i Sverige skulle det behövas fyra jordklot.

Will any Swedish politician defend the group most terrorised by the Örebro gun massacre? In one generation, Sweden has become polyglot and cosmopolitan – but denial has met the wave of white supremacism sweeping the country

"In one generation, Sweden has become polyglot and cosmopolitan – but denial has met the wave of white supremacism sweeping the country. [...] For everyone in Sweden to feel safe and harmonious, the dehumanisation of immigrants as a group must also stop."
