Chn4 news item re demise of UK wildlife

[JohnC6]

I've just posted a Chn4 report (Monday's news) to Box Brownie on the effects of climate change on our wildlife in a post in the Bird thread (The Curlew by Jeff. the black fox)but it's worth sharing through this thread in case it's been missed. It's a pretty depressing watch tbh. There's no need to sign up to Chn4. It can be watched.

Why global targets to save the natural world will be missed

Environmental catastrophe is not just someone else's problem, it is happening right here in Britain too.

John me olde mate sorry this is slow but I owe ya a masive thanks for this. it was a wonderful watch for me if not very sad still wonderful the sound of Cerlew give me the willies John As a small boy i'd often get lost in the woods in the dark,i'd have stayed too long with no torch trying to see brock or charlie. as small boys do. Being in pitch black in a wood and that sound of Cerlew in the BGK is something I'l never loose. A childs imagination can run riot with these things

Buddy I watched Sir David's extinction aswell,jees mate I've never really felt a sadness like this. I'm part of the overwhelming distruction of nature,I fear our little island and the state of things here is a mere drop in the ocean.

The big picture is really bad isn't it,so graphically portrayed in the pie chart near the end of Sir David's " Extinction"

take care bud thanks for posting i'd have missed this for sure

I may have missed that but at least on Channel 4 news you get regular in depth pieces about the environment - something that is almost completely missing from BBC Current Affairs. I tear my hair out listening to the Today programme and WATO etc. It's as if the environmental crisis just doesn't exist.

This is a brilliant piece from Alex Thompson on Channel 4 about grouse shooting (you can find the link in the article) -
