Good to see that at least some members of the Tory party are pushing for more radical action to address #climatebreakdown. However, the date for the ban on fossil fuel cars should be 2025, not 2030 or 2035. This is a climate emergency that can't wait. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/aug/13/moderate-tories-join-greens-to-call-for-fossil-fuel-car-ban-by-2030

The evidence for the overkill hypothesis - that humans caused the extinction of much of the planet's megafauna as we expanded out fo Africa - continues to accumulate. “Tongoenas burleyi was likely capable of swallowing fruit as big as a tennis ball” http://www.sci-news.com/paleontology/tongoenas-burleyi-08669.html

I've just published my latest blog "Life on a spear thistle" about my experience of spending some time with a group of these plants locally, and all the life they support, when the COVID-19 travel restrictions precluded travelling further afield.
