    Last few days for catching me, and debating on the BBC iPlayer!

    "If it's in our marshes, it's in our oysters, it's in our fish and it's in our dolphins," "And if there is plastic in them, there is plastic in us." "The financial burden of cleaning up pollution should not be solely on the taxpayers,"

    Highly recommended BBC documentary about one of the most pressing issues of our time: . We can't talk about environmental degradation and without addressing the main threat for our planet:

    11,000,000 people were killed in the Holocaust. It did not begin with killing, it began with the rhetoric of hate.

    "If Mr. Morrison’s government genuinely believed the science, it would immediately put a price on carbon, declare a moratorium on all new fossil fuel projects and transfer the fossil fuel subsidies to the renewables industries."

    Yes, I didn't die young from a whole lot of horrible diseases the vaccines prevented and now I'm older and my joints are getting creaky. Also I've lost a lot of my hair.

    Fun, timely article on how we might be dazzled by sexy risks but it's the unsexy ones that we should be paying attention to - even though we really don't want to because they are, well, unsexy. Quoting yours truly so obviously a quality piece of analysis.

    If someone's life is a mess we prob wouldn't let them adopt a cat or dog from a shelter. But if they fancied having a baby - a super vulnerable human being - we go, "Sure! You'll have to make the baby, though. It would be crazy to let you adopt one."

    I have never said anything like this, nor will I ever say it. It’s never too late to do as much as we can, every fraction of a degree matters. There are of course no magical “dates” for “saving the world”. I am only quoting the SR1,5 IPCC report on remaining CO2 budgets.

    Chris Packham thinks we might need a one-child policy to save the world - new BBC documentary on the way.

    “But we need a backup planet in case this one is ruined!” There is virtually nothing we — or the Universe — could do to Earth that would make it less habitable than Mars. Global warming, nuclear winter, extinction-level asteroid... still easier to live in caves here than there.

    I think fewer people would be excited about moving to Mars if they knew that they’d have to live in deep, shielded caves and that still might not be enough to save them. Good piece by on the hazards of living without a global magnetic field

    The oceans we know won't survive human overpopulation, of which climate change is merely one symptom.

    Anyone encouraging a woman or couple to have a child they are not sure they want is doing something immoral and profoundly irresponsible. Like its enablers - misogyny and homophobia - pronatalism is a primitive, toxic meme that no one should put up with, nowhere, never.

    My heart. 💔 🦏 A baby rhino is trying to wake their mother, who was killed for her horn. This is the devastating image poachers leave behind.

    This is what looks like in today's world. Disgusting. 😢 For far too long, the plight of fish has been ignored. Until today. This madness NEEDS to an end. RT if you agree. 😡

    This ultimate threat multiplier is human population growth. It fuels global warming and environmental devastation, while placing more and more people in harm's way. Apparently we rather watch our civilizations break down than talk about the dire need for procreative restraint.

    Our animation below has now been viewed almost *TWO MILLION* times. Big thanks to who has tweeted it twice. And in Vox who says: "No graphic I’ve ever seen better captures humanity’s climate situation."
