Could this make a difference? Seems like a good thing to do in any case.

Really good piece on potential for Europe to produce some of the Lithium it will produce in the future but all the joys of corporate greed, potential for environmental degradation, destroying archaeological heritage, self serving politicians , misguided economic decisions, small communities getting sidelined

Strange to think humans have managed to engineer a country with 76% forests but ecologically depleted

People assume tree planting is great for wildlife and it almost never is.
So many of our diverse old woodlands were taken over for forestry, wiping out the biodiversity that existed.
There’s an old woodland near me that the Victorian botanists were interested in. They recorded 450 flowering plants and then the forestry commission bought it, cleared it and replanted with conifers. I wish I could see what it was like back then. Now it’s a dark and gloomy lifeless place. -
Plants are flowering a month earlier in the UK as the climate heats up, a study has found.
The researchers examined 420,000 recorded dates of first flowering for more than 400 species, dating to 1793. The average date for the first blooms was about 12 May up to 1986, but since then the date has been pushed forward to 16 April.
Herbaceous plants saw the biggest advance, producing flowers an average of 32 days earlier. Trees blossomed 14 days sooner and shrubs advanced by 10 days. The researchers think faster-reproducing herbaceous plants can more easily adapt to the warming climate.
During the most recent recorded year, 2019, spring arrived 42 days earlier than the pre-1986 average. The difference between flowering times in the north of the UK, above Stoke-on-Trent, and the south has shrunk from nine days before 1986 to four days afterwards. In the period after the mid-80s there has been accelerated global heating caused by fossil-fuel-burning and other human activities.

It’s all bullshit. It’s nowhere near what’s needed.
