"[A]mongst those of us privileged enough to fly, and make decisions about energy policy that will impact others more than ourselves, we appear oblivious to the catastrophe we are seemingly complicit in. Cognitive dissonance or a deliberate attempt to maintain privilege and global inequalities?"
"what I find most disturbing is that the use of aviation remains typically unquestioned, placing increasing pressure on other industries to move more quickly, despite its dominant use by a privileged minority." - Prof. @aliceclimate.bsky.social

Was really hoping this Rough-leg would hang around for a bit. It arrived with the cold polar air and seemed to move on as it warmed up.
Spent several hours searching for it and watching it as they’re a rare bird now. Got to enjoy them while you can…
Maybe it will pop up somewhere

If we want to see meaningful change, we should at least make the effort ourselves. It shows we are serious.

The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population.
How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?
They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.

The huge problem that Puffins face is climate change. A massive 93% decline is predicted by 2050.
Yet, I haven’t seen a single reference to this in any reports or comments on Puffin numbers recently.
Which is quite strange 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
