The elephant populations of Borneo and Sumatra are highly important for the ecosystem they operate in. Unfortunately due to the human behaviour in the area their habitat is being cut up into smaller and smaller parcels of land. When they wander across unmarked arbitrary lines humans attack them.

Continue reading “A group of Lawyers supported by several foundations in Washington are fighting to roll back protection for species in the USA”Google has made a big show over the last few years of being active in reducing CO2 emissions and trying to avoid the worst of global warming. This is of course commendable, they have made an effort to offset all of their CO2 emissions.
However what seems to have come to light is that they have been funding significant announce of global warming denialism.

This statistic that has recently been released it is concerning. The view of the public is increasingly behind supporting to do something about global warming, however the money is continuing to support those who want business as usual.
Continue reading “The Big Five fossil fuel producers have spent more than 250 million pounds lobbying the European Union since 2010”Ever since David Cameron stated “I’ve had enough of all this green xxxx” (despite starting his Premiership with his hug a husky arctic trip) the conservative government has not considered reducing C02 emissions or fighting global warming as an important area to work on. Indeed having voted to leave the EU it is likely that they will be very little Parliament concentration left for this important fight in the next few years.

Few, however, are as all over the place as to use all three forms of denial.

His stance of supporting farmers and loggers in their theft of land, both from national parks or indigenous tribal land has reached its ultimate and some would say obvious conclusion.

He is regularly referred to as the ‘tropical Trump’, and this is generally not a label given as a compliment.
However the fallout from last week’s news has been substantial and he has thrown out many different things in an attempt to distract the news from what he did.
