Three years left to limit warming to 1.5C, top scientists warn - BBC News The Earth could be doomed to breach a key climate target in as little as three years, scientists warn.

At current levels of CO2 emissions, we will break the 1.5Β°C warming limit in just 3 years - the crucial threshold to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.

The climate crisis is already here and hitting hardest on the most vulnerable.

We must act now to cut emissions and protect our future.

Nobody cares. All people are interested in is having their existing opinions reinforced though social media. If one doesn’t understand that, it’s because one is stuck in the idea that truth and evidence matter.

The EU has a gigantic stick in its possible trade retaliation arsenal. But it's so big, they may never dare to use it.

WORLD-FIRST: Ground-breaking research published today in the Ornithologist Journal has, for the first time, translated common UK bird vocalisations into equivalent phrases in the human language.

Today, the Baltic states disconnected their power grids from that of Russia.

It’s taken years of prep. What a moment.

THIS is how to push back on the normalization of fascism. Releasing violent felons who attacked police and tried to overthrow an election is NOT NORMAL. A governor taking steps to uphold his oath, the rule of law, and commitment to public safety IS VERY NORMAL. Thank you, @jbpritzker.bsky.social!

Music Venue Trust boss on progress: 'I'm more hopeful than I've ever been' Headlines and industry debate about the struggles of grassroots music venues (GMVs) have been increasing in recent years.

Grassroots Music Venues sit at the heart of our communities.

Without them, not only do we lose a business, but we lose a cultural hub dedicated to showcasing rising talent.

That's why I'm proud to support the @musicvenuetrust.bsky.social in their vital work.

I live in Brighton. We have a green MP. But I can’t recycle any plastic, except milk bottles. Used to pay for a service. Now that’s gone broke/been discontinued.

So am filling my bin with plastic 😒😒 Why? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ is it just uneconomic?
