Britons kept in dark about scale of climate crisis, say viewers of ‘first-of-its-kind’ emergency briefing
Nine out of 10 people felt motivated to act after watching film outlining threats to food security, economy and public health
The British government must be honest about the scale of the threat posed by climate and nature breakdown, researchers have said, after nine out of 10 people surveyed after watching a briefing on the issue felt more motivated to act.
Last November, in the “first-of-its-kind national emergency briefing”, nine experts gave stark assessments in Central Hall in Westminster of the scale of the changes needed in the UK to adapt to the rapidly changing climate and ecological landscape.

Bendy elm still standing against all odds crowned UK tree of the year
Hundred-and-fifty-year-old Wych elm in Newcastle, Co Down, has grown sideways owing to strong winds
The “astonishing and bizarre” Bendy Tree in Northern Ireland has been crowned the winner of this year’s tree of the year competition.
The wych elm tree, located in Newcastle, County Down, owes its name to its near horizontal trunk, which has grown sideways owing to the strong seaside winds coming off the Irish Sea.

This is one of Norway’s most pristine fjords. So why is it being used as a dumping site for mine waste?
The Norwegian government has given a permit to a mining company to release waste into Førde fjord despite a 17-year battle by campaigners and a supreme court ruling against it
Shortly after the Norwegian stock market closed on 17 June 2026, a few dozen local people from the small west coast town of Vevring crowded around a laptop in a school. Surrounded by children’s drawings and windows looking out over Førde fjord, they listened as news arrived from Oslo. Norway’s supreme court had ruled against its government: a permit to release mining waste directly into the fjord two miles upstream was illegal, the court said.
The moment marked the end of a 17-year fight, one of Norway’s most protracted environmental battles in living memory. In Oslo, Ingvild Fonn Asmervik, the project leader for Naturvernforbundet (Friends of the Earth Norway), compared the joy she felt to giving birth to her child. For Anne-Line Thingnes Førsund, a third-generation fisher living on the banks of the fjord in Vevring and a volunteer for the charity’s local branch, it was more of a relief. Like a mountain lifting off her shoulders, she said.

Stockpile food – and wash your hands: is that really how to prepare for environmental catastrophe? | George Monbiot
The UK state is dumping its responsibilities on our doorsteps, while green-lighting policies that lead us closer to crisis
Would you mind fixing the NHS? And while you’re at it, could you please build an anti-missile system in your garden? Then regulate the banks, replace the water mains, tax the very rich and use the proceeds to rebuild our schools. Well, come on people: what are you waiting for?
I exaggerate, but this isn’t very far from the approach taken by the government’s Prepare campaign. Crucial functions, way beyond the scope of individual action, are dumped on our doorsteps while those in power fail to act. As a result, our national resilience is arguably lower than at any time since the second world war. At the Labour conference last week, Andy Burnham promised “a Britain where people feel the country has got their back again”. To make good on that pledge, he will have to change almost everything.

Country diary: The changing face of stubble fields, those shortcuts of my youth | Nicola Chester
Linkenholt, Hampshire and Wexcombe, Wiltshire:Even to the untrained eye, traditional ones and modern, regenerative ones look very different
Stubble fields, those post-harvest acres of short straws, seem to be lasting longer into the season, as farmers respond to changing practices. I have a wistful attachment to stubble fields: for so long a kind of temporary commons where, for a few redundant weeks before autumn or winter ploughing, you could shortcut across them, the dew-filled straws flicking water up the inside of your legs. But today, stubble fields aren’t all equal.
Below Cleve Hill Down, a tractor is drilling winter wheat directly into bare seedbed between the stubble. Regularly sprayed with herbicide, it is free of weeds or any green – a pale-gold spread of machine-knitted tweed. A hundred years ago, the stubble would be left, full of weeds, birds and insects, until midwinter ploughing, allowing frosts to break down the clods.

Comebacks for wild tigers, tuna and sea turtles prove nature loss can be reversed, scientists say
A landmark report reveals that the world must change the way it produces food to avoid a biodiversity collapse
Conservation comebacks for wild tigers, tuna and green sea turtles prove that global nature loss can be reversed, scientists have said. But a report warns food production must be the next “positive tipping point” if the world is to avert biodiversity collapse.
The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) analysed nearly 36,000 animal populations and more than 5,000 species, producing the largest ever database of vertebrate wildlife. Scientists found populations had declined by an average of 73% since 1970, showing that “nature continues to be degraded at an alarming scale”, with “no sign of losses slowing”.

World’s largest penguin colony suffers ‘enormous population crash’
Chinstrap penguins on Zavodovski Island in Antarctica down by two-thirds since 2011, probably due to climate crisis
The world’s largest penguin colony has declined by two-thirds since 2011, most likely because of the climate crisis, a study has revealed.
Scientists said the rapid demise of chinstrap penguins on Zavodovski, the northernmost of the South Sandwich Islands in Antarctica, increased the risk of a wider ecosystem collapse.

As monarch butterflies migrate for the fall, meet the Chicago woman trying to protect them
Claudia Galeno-Sánchez has turned her home into a sanctuary for the insects by planting native milkweed and wildflowers – and sharing her experience
Along the concrete streets of Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood, a vividly colored home stands out among the rest.
Over the past few years, Claudia Galeno-Sánchez has transformed her modest family home, which she shares with her husband and two children, into a sanctuary and educational space dedicated to the monarch butterfly.
Galeno-Sánchez painted her home with the help of neighbors, her kids, and the renowned muralist and painter Héctor Duarte.

Flávio Bolsonaro’s advance in Brazil’s election is grim jolt for climate campaigners
Inquest under way into why President Lula’s success in curbing Amazon deforestation has not led to success at polls
More fire, more ash, more crime, more death. And a globally important ecosystem driven ever more rapidly towards a point of no return. That is the prospect for the Amazon rainforest for at least the next four years if Flávio Bolsonaro holds on to the lead he established this week in the first round of Brazil’s presidential election.
This appears to be of far more concern to the outside world than to voters in Latin America’s biggest, richest and most biodiverse nation.

Landslides, flash floods and raging seas: is California ready for the ravages of El Niño?
A mix of natural disasters could all befall the state at once as it finds itself in the crosshairs of the climate phenomenon
On a cloudless autumn afternoon, sunlight sparkled on the water that had quietly swallowed a busy intersection to the north of San Francisco, as the surrounding rush-hour traffic slowed to a painful crawl.
There were no crashing waves or storm surges to blame for the flood. Marin county was one of many areas up and down the California coast affected by high tides last week, as parts of the Pacific swelled with excess warmth.

Upala crijeva može objasniti osjetljivost na hranu kod pacijenata s upalnom bolešću crijeva
Nova studija otkriva da upala crijeva može promijeniti način na koji crijevne bakterije razgrađuju hranu - moguće izazivajući imunološke reakcije na hranu koja je prije bila prihvatljiva za jelo. Smatra se, da rezultati mogu pomoći objasniti zašto toliko ljudi s upalnom bolešću crijeva (IBD) loše reagira na hranu poput mliječnih proizvoda ili glutena, čak i u remisiji.

Statini mogu smanjiti rizik od glaukoma i potrebu za intenzivnijim liječenjem
Uzimanje statina povezano je s manjim rizikom od razvoja glaukoma i manjom vjerojatnošću njegova pogoršanja, sugeriraju rezultati novog istraživanja. Inače, glaukom, vodeći uzrok nepovratnog gubitka vida, nastaje kao posljedica trajnog oštećenja vidnog živca.

Svjetski dan cerebralne paralize – prilika za vidljivost i razumijevanje
Od 2012. godine, 6. listopada se obilježava Svjetski dan cerebralne paralize. Radi se o inicijativi koja, na globalnoj razini, različitim aktivnostima nastoji podići svijest o cerebralnoj paralizi, životima osoba koje s njom žive te izazovima s kojima se suočavaju one i njihove obitelji. Ovaj dan prilika je za podsjećanje da cerebralna paraliza nije samo medicinska dijagnoza, već stanje koje kroz cijeli život može utjecati na kretanje, komunikaciju, samostalnost, obrazovanje, rad, zdravlje i sudjelovanje u društvu. Naime, potrebno je kontinuirano raditi na tome da osoba s cerebralnom paralizom ne bude definirana svojim ograničenjima, nego prepoznata kroz svoje sposobnosti, interese, prava i osobne ciljeve.

Jednostavan test urina može točno dijagnosticirati i pratiti rak mokraćnog mjehura
Jednostavan test urina koji su osmislili istraživači sa Stanford Medicine i VA Palo Alto Health Care System može dijagnosticirati ljude s rakom mokraćnog mjehura preciznije od trenutnih standardnih metoda. Test također omogućuje liječnicima ne samo da procijene odgovor raka na liječenje, već i da predvide hoće li imunoterapija ili kemoterapija vjerojatno biti najučinkovitiji za svakog pacijenta.

Acetilsalicilatna kiselina ne poboljšava preživljavanje metastatskog kolorektalnog karcinoma
Kolorektalni karcinom jedan je od najčešćih karcinoma u svijetu, a do polovice pacijenata razvije metastaze na jetri tijekom bolesti. Za te pacijente operacija, ponekad u kombinaciji s lokalnim ablativnim liječenjem, glavna je potencijalno kurativna opcija. Međutim, rizik od recidiva raka ostaje visok.
