The devastation on its way is unimaginable - like nothing humanity has ever witnessed before - and everyone will wish they had been climate activists and ‘hysterics’ when they had the chance. We are in a moment of unprecedented stupidity

Hooklanders talk of 'the Other Path'. It flows from sea to county's northern edge, but never seems to start nor end in the same place twice. It's said if you walk too far along it, you'll find yourself in Faery. This may explain another name it has – 'the Way of the Lost'. – #CLNolan

New North Sea oil and gas fields would emit as much CO₂ as UK households produce in 30 years, according to research from Uplift.

People understandably want to help wildlife, but may end up unintentionally doing more harm than good. No one wants that. So as a quick stop guide for those who have or want to give handouts to wildlife, here is some info that you can read or share when you see others in this scenario.

I am the wind across a deep, wide lake.
I am the wave over the endless sea.
I am the stag of seven tines, racing through the woods.
I am the eagle in the aerie, flying above the rocks.
I am a flash of light from the sun above, bringing heat to those below....

There are hundreds of references to Druidic Altars across the British Isles. This one at least looks the part. Located within a few hundred yards of the place where St Patrick is alleged to have landed in England. /|\

Trees: we eat their fruit, they provide us with shade and they are nature's power plants, from the gas carbon dioxide that we exhale, they make the oxygen that we breathe. But above all, trees are beautiful and worth protecting - and the older they get, the more valuable they are
