'Grumble' sorry about this. Sorry ProfTerryHughes not on Mastodon BUT on Twitter
@lauragreen what of the news I’d read that it was recovering in the protected areas rapidly? It kinda gave me some hope
@alisca I feel like the media want it to be positive and there are a few small scale projects but without addressing the cause (anthropogenic heating) it's all just window dressing
@lauragreen a good news story about the climate right now actually probably has a detrimental effect.... fuuuuck!
