The reef fish people find ugly more likely to be endangered, study finds
Discrepancy between aesthetic value and extinction vulnerability could have repercussions
There are plenty of fish in the sea, but “ugly” fish deserve love too, according to a study.
The reef fish people rate as most aesthetically pleasing are also the ones that seem to need the least conservation support, while the fish most likely to rank as “ugly” are the most endangered species, the research has found.

Lord mayor says residents should make green choices but tenant’s union says onus should be on owners and government
Sydney’s lord mayor, Clover Moore, has urged renters and apartment dwellers to do their bit to help the city reach net zero by switching their energy supply to renewable sources.
Moore’s plea comes amid spiralling energy costs and increased pressure on household budgets, with the New South Wales Tenants Union noting while many renters wanted to make green choices, it was not always a simple equation.

The sooner we shift away from ageing coal and expensive gas, the quicker electricity prices and emissions will fall
A massive expansion in Australia’s gas production did nothing to make gas cheap for Australian homes and businesses. A decade of propping up ageing coal-fired power stations did nothing to ensure the reliability of our electricity supply. And the Coalition’s so-called “gas trigger” and “big stick” electricity reforms have done nothing to control Australian energy prices. It’s as if everything Scott Morrison and Angus Taylor did was announce things instead of fixing them.
There’s no shortage of coal or gas in Australia, there’s a shortage of generation capacity and the infrastructure to move energy to where it’s needed. Just as the sun doesn’t always shine and the wind doesn’t always blow, Australians have now learned the hard way that the coal trains don’t always run and the coal-fired power stations often break down.

Young peregrine falcon falls from Salisbury Cathedral tower
Bird, named Noble X3C, landed unharmed and made successful first flight three days later
They are known as agile, powerful and rapid flyers. But a young peregrine falcon has undermined the image of its species after an ungainly tumble from a cathedral tower.
Named Noble X3C, the bird is one of four that hatched high on Salisbury Cathedral this spring, and was days away from being big enough to soar gracefully into the Wiltshire sky.

A young peregrine falcon – one of four that hatched on Salisbury Cathedral this spring – took its first flight into the Wiltshire sky, days after an unsuccessful attempt where it lost its footing and slipped. The tumble was captured on a webcam which focuses on the balcony and has proved a hit with people tuning in to follow the birds’ progress. The falcon, named Noble X3C, took the plunge again on Tuesday and this time managed to stay airborne

Food strategy for England likely to be watered down
People working with government on strategy say ambitious plans to tackle nature, climate and health crises have been ditched
The government is expected to water down its upcoming food strategy for England, ignoring the ambitious recommendations proposed in two government-commissioned reports, campaigners say.
The white paper, due later this month, was supposed to be a groundbreaking plan to tackle the nature and climate emergencies in response to eye-catching recommendations urged by the restaurateur Henry Dimbleby in his reports.

Climate crisis could make humans shrink in size, says fossil expert
Edinburgh palaeontologist says smaller mammals are better able to cope with increased temperatures
The climate crisis may lead the human race to shrink in size, as mammals with smaller frames appear better able to deal with rising global temperatures, a leading fossil expert has said.
Prof Steve Brusatte, a palaeontologist at the University of Edinburgh, suggested that the way in which other mammals have previously responded to periods of climate change could offer an insight into humans’ future.
