Lines in the sky.

Lines in the sky, chemtrail as observed north east England. Theres many hundreds of observation days recorded here likewise many hundreds of photographs of lines in the sky which in my opinion are chemtrail. I have my own DQA Reporting System, ie Duration, Quantity, Affect on a scale 0-10 for each day. I had no idea it was so long since I last posted. Chemtrail activity has been quite low-key these last few months but on Wednesday three weeks ago it was noticeable all day long, gets DQA 8-3-3 from what I could see from here. I also think something like NASA Worldview gets ‘doctored’ or airbrushed to get rid of some of those (their term) ”pesky lines in the sky”.

These last three to four weeks yes chemtrail is more prevalent, chemtrail photograph below is from 06:20 BST this morning, 14th August 2024… so obvious!

Chemtrail photo, 0620 BST north east England. 14th Aug 2024. (Two parallel chemtrail at least with another lower to the left say two mile further on).

Note in the above chemtrail pic central two parallel chemtrail at least with another lower to the left say a mile further on. Often I find chemtrail originates on flights to and from Germany, needs more observation.

I can’t find evidence from NASA Worldview on that Wednesday three weeks ago ie 24th July but clicking forward we find 1st August was a chemtrail day down on the English Channel. worldview is reporting ‘bad gateway’ …. I cannot download, so here is the link … https://go.nasa.gov/4dyQ8Xq

Lets look at other days on Worlview:-

The Wednesday previous to that ie 14th July 2024 was chemtrail mayhem over sea areas Fastnet, Sole, Finisterre ie southern Ireland, Bay of Biscay, north west Spain. https://go.nasa.gov/3M1UKtj

July 28th ’24 Irish Sea chemtrail day … https://go.nasa.gov/3YERZph

August 8th, sea area Thames chemtrail … https://go.nasa.gov/3WJmcRh

Lets hoover up some chemtrail pics of mine from the last couple of days, I’ve a feeling chemtrail will once again be much more obvious mainly because of increased global warming/ climate change; its a tool in the arsenal, but it comes at a price with nano particle materials and the dreaded nano-particle aluminium. in my opinion with climate change/ global warming feedbacks and interactions we are seeing the first of a horrible cascade of effects that no sane person cld foresee as reversible ie

a) Insect decline to near an emptiness, therefore bats fr instance are starving – FACT.

b) Heatwaves beyond what folk can endure. Heatwave in the Antarctic right now ie plus 30deg C …. and this during the Antarctic winter.

c) Ice loss, in Europe (glaciers) as well as at the Poles, thinnest sea ice yet in the Arctic. When the Arctic goes ‘ice free’ it will happen very quickly, its in the nature of ice to ‘flash off’ very quickly, ask any schoolkid!

d) Hardly anyone mentions diatoms, according to various sources from 1/2 to 1/5 of the oxygen we breath is from oceanic diatoms ie a fundamental primary building block in the marine food chain. this is a biggie.

e) Probable shift in existing weather patterns ie catastrophic for the established food production areas.

f) Methane. We will all become acquainted with the Kara, Laptev and East Siberian Sea all north of Siberia when the methane starts to really bubble, its a shallow sea with vast deposits of underwater as yet unprocessed carbon and methane hydrate that will inevitably increase its presence in the atmosphere, lets repeat that, inevitably rise to atmosphere. Realise huge vast rivers Lena, Ob, Kolyma are pumping vast amounts of heated freshwater northward where the methane at the moment lies temporarily entrapped.

etc etc etc …

Y’know, are chemtrails real? Here UK in the fortnight before the Royal Wedding (Harry?) a few years back we had a clear fortnight before the wedding yet we had lived with near daily chemtrail prior to that; makes one wonder. Realise, chemtrail alters light levels, much reduces a bright blue sky exactly as is intended. California growers and farmers know full well how chemtrail activity has compromised their production and growing conditions.

Are plants growing taller this year?

Since mid spring I’ve guessed my garden plants are growing taller, bluebells seem taller, daffodills, as does Leucojum (spring snowflake) tulips too but what prompted me to log in and write a quick post re garden plants seemingly taller this year was seeing a few minutes ago the burgeoning and soon to flower Aqueliga in my garden, definitely taller.

This apparent phenomena has bugged me for a couple of months now. Fertiliser or nitrogen has not been applied, other than a dressing of fish blood and bone which I do twice a year anyway. We know that with inc CO2 initially things will grow bigger, it acts as a nitrogen feed but after a certain point is the enemy of growing plants, soft useless growth and eventually the plant is strangled so to speak. Realise combined plant/tree demise and the loss of ocean algae ie diatoms will be the end of us, this is a truism, undeniable planetary mechanics and interactions of this beautiful chemistry set called planet Earth. Its an incredibly fortunate and harmonious mix we have of atmospheric gases and things (and us) that can function in such a scenario. Luck or God, I’m not sure and increasingly plumb for the latter.

As is usual the scientists seem behind the curve, theres only so many waking hours and googling for things is increasingly my less preferred activity.

Satellite imagery deletes chemtrail.

I’d had an inkling this can happen and the image here for south of England and English Channel chemtrail 15th Feb 2023 ie yesterday really does eliminate the data I would like to have been able to view.

The image below on NASA Worldview terra/Modis setting is a huge amount of chemtrail activity, remember this is a snapshot in time not a rolling update (as far as I am aware). On the day of the event other filters can take several hours before the image reveals itself. One wonders if some sort of ‘cleaning up’ is happening.

In the chemtrail sat imagery below at right I would say its ALL chemtrail activity. Easy to do actually as if you click on to something like flightradar24 the sky is absolutely full of aircraft activity. I cannot believe this can be explained away as ‘ice crystals’ or upper atmosphere reaction to aircraft engine exhaust. Surely it points to a decision being made to on this time and day to add this sky whitening effect deliberately. In the future chemtrail sky whitening will have to be formally introduced as we will lose a lot of existing weather pattern/ cloud formation. If the upper ‘cloud decks’ that roll in from the Pacific which protect the complete run of west coast north and south America disappear as Guy McPherson over on http://www.arctic-news.blogspot then it will entail a catastrophic temperature rise, this trigger will be increased CO2 and remember the increasing and inevitable methane release being much more potent than CO2 (short term x200 and x1000 say if talking in weeks) … means basically we are snookered.

Into the mix and I haven’t actually read this stated as such at least cannot recall anyone mentioning the fact that as CO2 and methane increase there will / must be a corresponding decline in the CO2 cycle as plankton ie diatoms disappear from the oceans, it is only recently that scientists are admitting its probable that diatoms are responsible for half the worlds breathable oxygen. A tragic irony as 70% of the worlds oil and gas is derived from ancient diatom deposits.

Diatoms gone = marine food chain inoperable.

Diatoms gone = every other breath of oxygen no longer available.

Postscript re climate change.

There will no doubt be massive fires, huge loss of oxygenating plant life and I hate to say it as I wish no-one any harm a rise in tectonic activity / re-adjustment of plates. Again …. snookered! One could say that whoever devised this bundle of skin and bone to functioning systems will probably now be disgusted at where we have arrived. The human race and Organised Capital demands progress which as in the standard Western Model is now a complete system of achieving so called ‘success’ but how else can it be, there is an obsession (with organised capital) of innovation, growth, market share. Often I feel the unethical grab of obscene profit margin or mark-up can never be justified, to my mind there should be a regulatory guidance to permissable profit margin, likewise my detestation of ‘ornery folk turning themselves into IR35 Ltd Co’s and opting out of paying fair taxes is detestable, a swinging cop-out, but thats another subject. I’m unsure of the figures but we’ve walked upright since five or seven million years ago and its only three hundred years of a modern activity for us to upset the chemistry set and physical interactions of this world to turn itself against us. I don’t normally write in this manner but the realisation of the very simple cross-over CO2 / CH4 and O graph that seems not to be alluded to elsewhere really does set us in a far more dire position than most folk realise. What makes me particularly sad is so much beauty in the natural world, both macro and microscopic will I assume be lost.

Q. How quickly will terrestrial plant life react to a fast diminishing oxygen count?

Q. How quickly will planktonic life and particularly diatoms disappear, I reckon weeks once a tipping point is crossed, they are sensitive ‘niche’ organisms. Look at the now collapsed symbiotic relationship of algae and bryozoans that were at one time coral reef. This is a screaming alarm bell more profound than anyone is admitting.

Q. How many times this year and next will we see the horror of the recent Turkey/ Syria earthquakes repeated?

Q. It will only take one harvest to be ruined by changing weather patterns for the world to be thrown in turmoil, the USA burger obsession will come to an abrupt halt. And probably I assume Chinas pork production.

Q. Not really a question, a simple fact that ice melting rates are woefully under-reported or underestimated, we all know as kids how ice can flash off overnight and next morning as we look out the window and all is gone.

I remind people to visualise the crossover graph of increasing methane and diminishing oxygen, a double whammy so to speak or a logarithmic and catastrophic change in the breathable atmosphere.

These are only my personal views, pls fact check.

Quick random search .. very interesting re Pacific cloud formation and importance. https://acp.copernicus.org/preprints/acp-2022-108/acp-2022-108.pdf

UK politics, junk is getting in the way…

We need a greater sense of urgency re climate change ie Arctic ice loss, diatom loss (eqiv CO2>O conversion for all terrestial green things).

So much junk is getting in the way, the Tories are intransigent with the state of the NHS, latest Tory sleazeball Nadhim Zahawi somehow carelessly overlooked £23 million quid etc etc and the stupidity of HS2 in this digital age beggars belief, its not anything to do with transporting goods, merely bums on seats.

Both COP extraveganzas last year will amount to little if anything and the IPCC are so backward and emasculated, quite irrelevant to latest scientific thinking. World ice expert Prof Peter Wadhams mostly side-lined/ forgotten.

There are so many realworld momentous changes occurring, interconnected features and feedback loops like a vast chemistry experiment now set into dire motion and a quite unfavourable realignment, a realignment that does not favour homo saps nor most living things of any sort, if diatoms are severely compromised which is the foundation of the marine food chain and CANNOT be circumvented as to their essential contribution then the cards on the table indicate enjoy your life as you can, live a good life but imho 2026 is the line in the sand.

Its hard to know where to start …

Jet stream altering, expect crazy weather patterns and food prodn greatly altered. You can forget burgers.

Diatoms are on the decline, a total loss wld be equiv to all terrestial plants and trees for CO2>O conversion. Google the irony of that … origin of 70% of all world oil reserves etc.

Arctic ice loss, to some extent remains but thickness disappearing fast. One day soon it will all ‘flash melt’ and be gone.

Ice-free Arctic by summer 2023 … looks likely. Place your bets!

El Nino slow to start from the quieter La Nina, looks set to peak with sunspot max 2026… oh dear!

Methane is trickling slowly, as yet quite docile though at historically max levels, we have yet to receive the predicted large releases, as a short term catastrophe much higher effect than many will admit say min x200 of CO2 and one could guess a short term effect x1,000 that of CO2. IPCC is in all respects ‘dumb’ on this; shame upon them.

With inc CO2 or methane all green growing things go into reverse and will not be able to help us when we need it.
Reduction of aerosol masking effect ie ‘going green’ does nothing but inc temperature. The irony of it! Maybe that is why chemtrail is sprayed, but as its mainly nano-particle aluminium (near gaseous in its diffusion) it is non-healthy and imho greatly exacerbates wild fires.
To my mind a good source of all that is happening, could happen is http://arctic-news.blogspot.com/

Lines in the sky.

Ongoing UK chemtrail diary, Thursday 2nd June ’22

This is surprising, such blatant chemtrail on this UK Bank Holiday. Its now 10:30 am North East England and heres two good pics:-

North East England chemtrail, looking SW, 10am. 2nd June ’22. I can see four chemtrail.

Lines in the sky/ chemtrail 10:30am Bank Holiday 2nd June ’22. looking S. Three distinct chemtrails.

I’ll try to keep this to six or eight pics max of chemtrail today, remember I also have devised my own DQA Reporting System ie duration, quantity, affect for anything / everything seen during daylight. At 2pm BST I’ll hop over to NASA Worldview and see what is revealed, but this has only a one third chance of capturing what I see in the sky above. I fear what has started as a beautiful bright blue day will be changed by means of chemtrail to a dull afternoon, lets see what happens.

Second pic above, notice the ‘drift’ south of the main chemtrail, this will produce a ‘whitening of the sky’, a term in fact embarrassingly dropped by some Gov bod a year ago on a bbc r4 interview. Operatives, cockpit crew, military etc will all have been tied down with the Official Secrets Act … of course they have! After all, non-disclosure agreements are commonplace in business.

Lets fill some time meanwhile …

Chemtrail does not fade away quickly as per conventional condensation trail and where chemtrails are common we read aluminium levels are very high, I also think this nano-particle aluminium significantly exacerbated the wildfires out in CA as per say last year. Frances Mangels retired Fisheries Biologist is a leading voice in realising this chemtrail problem, he writes of near dissapearance of life in lakes and rivers in his region, ie from diatoms upwards to caddis etc. My own hobbyhorse are diatoms and their importance, this cannot be over-stressed, horribly ironic we obtain 70% of the worlds oil and gas from ancient diatom deposits, yet its the burning of this resource that has led to both their and our own demise. Please google and look at tabs here. This is all basically an unstoppable chemical and physical interaction with interconnected feedback loops, ie jet stream alterations, arctic warming>overheating and the biggie … arctic methane in its three forms. Heres an expert (I only read professional educated material) …

Chemtrails.

Chemtrail diary Friday 14th Jan 2022.

My efforts here are merely to report what I have seen, these things stopped up in the sky from lunchtime till past sunset here in Northern England. If these were merely ‘condensation trails’ then they would have disappeared to nothing in less than a minute, but I categorise these as the dreaded ‘chemtrail’ because of their persistence and their widening spread, enough of them as say residents in California can testify and they alter sunlight and hence growing conditions for farmers and growers. Its also my feeling its chemtrail aluminium as why there have been such rapid wildfires in the USA, fine particle aluminium is an incendiary, mixed with iron filings its called Thermite and has dozens of variations and uses, to weld jointless railway line and as a very reliable and useful demolitions explosive.

Frances Mangels retired professional Fisheries Biologist over at Mt Shasta, CA is convinced nano-particle aluminium from chemtrail is destroying / has destroyed life in lakes and rivers and so its back once again to my beloved diatoms, without these most fundamental building blocks of marine and freshwater life playing their vital and indispensable part in a many layered and co-dependant food chain then there will be no further life in water. This cannot be stressed importantly enough and ironic as its ancient diatoms that we drill into for 70% of the worlds oil and gas and its as I re-read recently the oxygen converted from CO2 from specifically diatoms that accounts for every fifth breath we take.

Heres chemtrail pics for north east England lunchtime until sunset, the latter also in the distance containing chemtrail fifty and sixty miles away but does not show up to any extent on the pic at end of this post.

Chemtrail north east England Friday lunchtime 14th Jan 2022. Note how the chemtrail ‘spreads’.

Chemtrail note the spread, this is high altitude chemtrail, lunchtime and persisted all afternoon until dark.

Chemtrail NE England, note ‘spread’ of earlier chemtrail. this is ‘whitening of the skies’.

Chemtrail NE England, flying to the east where you can see below more chemtrail.

It is very odd we ever see a ‘bend’ in an aircrafts flightpath, the above is chemtrail. This is far too high an altitude to have anything to do with the nearby Newcastle Airport. And often chemtrail aircraft do not appear either on flightradar24 (I’m a paid subscriber) nor NASA Worldview. Nothing appeared on NASA Worldview whatsoever for the significant chemtrail pictured here for Friday 14th Jan ’22.

Chemtrail to the east from NE England Fri 14th Jan ’22, note the right angle turn at bottom of pic.

Its no use asking anyone, all those involved in this will have signed The Official Secrets Act.

Chemtrail NE England, looking east, Fri 14th Jan 2022.

Above I’ve driven into the countryside ten miles and even though they are drifting east (away from me) all is still perfectly visible as chemtrail. Over my shoulder to the west an hour later and with the setting sun theres clear sign of distant chemtrail activity earlier in the day.

Chemtrail, NE England Fri 14th Jan ’22, this was certainly visible for two hours plus.

And below, later that afternoon, the sunset, all pics here the same day; forget the spectacular effect, look carefully toward the horizon.

Spectacular sunset with chemtrail and what I regard as ‘reaction cloud’ to previous hours of chemtrail deposition.

In the above note the much lower horizontal what I regard as ‘reaction clouds’ and in my experience its their colour that gives them away. Be very careful how you interpret the above photograph, its easy to mis-interpret and and jump to the wrong conclusion, this work takes experience.

Anyone that cares to delve into this 600 plus blog will find I have developed nomenclature to help in how we talk of these things, without a developed language and appropriate words we’ll never get further than a cave-man talking about these things. For instance, the term ‘reaction clouds’ and my DQA reporting system. DQA for today (duration, quantity, affect) 14th Jan 2022, DQA 8,4,3.

Where are we with climate change?

I’ve lain fallow on this for a few weeks following the damp squib of a wasted COP26 Glasgow, to let the dust settle so to speak, to reflect. The IPCC should hang their heads in shame.

The four years of a trump vested interest and an ‘in reverse’ shambles of what could only laughingly be called an ‘administration’ (note I deny him upper case) has not helped this planet or its peoples in any way whatsoever unless of course you are already an exceedingly rich US billionaire; lets face it millions are small change these days….

But trump is not a billionaire, no matter how crooked his schemes and evasions it has still left him hanging on propped up by debt from lenders of near last resort.

I worry about the Yemen, the inexcusable shambles of a deliberately callous Afghanistan withdrawl etc etc

In all this blog of say six hundred posts I reckon my sources are of good quality, will stand to scrutiny and illuminate and educate. Brave people, particularly in the USA, they face demotion or dismissal for speaking like this.

Heres two for climate change …

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pg2vgGRwftc

Note in the above from Dr Guy Macpherson his concern at the big hit from ozone depletion at 02:45 from rising sea level and hence the loss and destruction of nuclear generation (ie meltdown) and hence near instant ozone loss rendering the ‘out of doors’ uninhabitable. Its a chilling quote “The living will envy the dead” at 03:28. My own hobby horse is diatoms and the oceanic plankton that scrub half of the worlds carbon for us for free, all are near or are actually microscopic; trees and land based CO2 conversion will fail us I’m sure and unfortunately the plankton too. We’ve played with a world size chemistry set and it all appears inevitable. I found the link for the above on …. https://www.facebook.com/groups/arcticnews/

Important, please see….. http://arctic-news.blogspot.com/p/about.html

Here below is disturbing footage, note the blackened ice, note how beavers are colonising further north and flood the land / permafrost with their dams, the catastrophic opening of Arctic ocean seaways with accompanying noise pollution destroying marine mammal habitat and their ability to communicate and organise.

Lines in the sky…

An occasional diary of lines in the sky for North East England, posting 18th Dec ’21.

Last few days mostly bright blue skies, often unseasonably warm and often lines in the sky which I’m classifying as chemtrail. Its pointless talking to anyone about this, with zero sum knowledge the average person will still refute any suggestion of mine.

These things classed chemtrail do not disperse quickly as per conventional condensation trail but persist and broaden as minutes and even the hour passes by, as proved yesterday afternoon and this morning at sunrise, pics below. Its assumed much elevated chemtrail aluminium levels are to blame for autism in CA kids, loss of smaller life forms in west coast USA streams and rivers, increased combustibility as per crazy wildfires, etc etc. Lets also think collapse of seabird population which is hardly mentioned, but if we lose the microscopic diatoms (of which we draw 70% of the worlds oil and gas from ancient deposits) we are speeding their demise and their vital function as carbon capture. All of this is scientifically verifiable ….. ask any professional diatomist ie the experts that are employed by oil exploration companies.

We’ve opened up a crazy box of interconnected feedbacks, we’ve played with something we shouldn’t. Glasgow COP26 was a travesty; waffle and humbug. A childs football is eight inch diameter, this corresponds at an inch per thousand miles, the usable space we have is one thousandths of an inch ie cigarette paper thin, a quarter thickness of 80gsm copier paper (ie the thin stuff).

This ‘whitening’ of the skies i suspect is going to be a near everyday experience here in North East England.

Fisrstly heres this morning ie 08:30 GMT Saturday 18th Dec 2021.

The above lasted in the sky for an hour or two, did not fade away anything like a regular ‘contrail’.

Above is late afternoon Friday 17th December, more obvious in reality, all the lines are chemtrail.

Chemtrail activity as seen on NASA Worldview 16th Dec 2021. https://go.nasa.gov/3yEy1fk

In the above NASA Worldview screenshot for 16th Dec ’21 my own experience tells me theres more chemtrail effect or presence than the raw tyro would appreciate, but over north east England and its coastline its obvious theres chemtrail and the maturing product of same.

Above is 15th Nov ’21 early morning, theres too much going on here for any well balanced individual to take pics of everything! Look carefully, theres several chemtrail plus chemtrail reaction ie a needless hazy obscured sky.

Chemtrail above, 19 Nov ’21 north east England. We had lots of chemtrail at around this time, half hidden at best.

COP26 disaster …

COP26 is a failure, worse than I feared it would be.

Where are the scientists, where are the new ideas, the latest data, feedback projections?

It has dumbed down even below what a weak and blind IPCC could have stage managed.

I predicted a huge backlash to mans intransigence and eternal hubris and boy o boy theres going to be some very angry people, and in many senses rightly so.

Its my opinion the UK Government is delighted we are entering rapid and gross inflation, it will massage downwards the huge spend from Rishi, much of the money being quite un-needed, £10k lump sums to small businesses that didn’t need it and a furlough scheme that I reckon has been much abused and which continued for far too long. Covid is still out there but in many instances its a case of “Covid – what covid?”

I’m not impressed on the performance of bbc radio news on getting detail out on what really matters as we move forward to an unstoppable oven of catastrophe, this will make any war look as a minor scale dummy run.

We hardly hear of the feedback effect of multiple systems all catastrophically amplifying each others effect and eventually the collapse of one another, like a house of cards, in essence negating or destroying each single systems ability to survive; lets throw a few probable eventualities around…

diatoms and plankton will die, are in fact dieing, therefore half of the world CO2 to O collapses. Who mentions this?
the ability of land based green growing things decreases CO2 conversion as CO2 itself increases, never mind methane.
aerosol masking multiplier.
ice gone, particularly the importance of vertical melt.
fact: jet stream now in two parts, dragging warm wet air over the Arctic.
fact: sunspot max for 2026 and transition from El Nana to El Nino coincides!
weather systems will waver and abandon the worlds conventional food production areas.
meat production (burgers?) needs to be drastically curtailed / minimised.
live near to your work.
does anyone consider pollution from commercial sources, diesel fuelled agriculture, construction and the military?
if we are for a fact losing/ have lost insect populations, hence we are losing small songbirds then what if we lose earthworms … that would be catastrophe.
if the oceans are warmer and of greater bulk what of tectonic plate shift?
existing wind and solar depends on established conventional weather patterns, not weather in flux.
we need a one child policy.
methane
methane
methane
etc

Nero himself would be aghast as how we are holding our nerve and blind to what is happening, fiddling with inconsequentials when the big things need to be addressed. The tree problem for instance, unless its evergreen ie the conifer then here in northern latitudes we have a thing called autumn leaf fall, likewise most green growing things, for half the year are near to dormant. The tree thing is difficult in the UK, already near all land is used as is most appropriate, theres not much slack.

Still thinking trees, we only have land surface to play with and most of that being unsuitable, yet six sevenths of the worlds surface is water, therefore in my opinion a solution must be water based / oceanic.

Heres an idea, rather than carbon offset which is in itself an often dubious mechanism we could have death offset, pay poor brown people to die instead of ourselves … mighty quicker than a one child policy! Whoops, gallows humour.

But seriously here is a scientist talking …

I’m not sure a straightforward re-wilding is the answer.

You’ll not get many if any people that work in the countryside to agree with re-wilding. Its another one of those subjects turned into something emotive, something that its no longer so easy to get the activists to embrace the full story. I wonder if the web has aided tribalism? …. of course it has.

A myriad of life can exist in a multi-purpose landscape, goodness how difficult it would be to fight ones way through sheep walk turned to hawthorn scrub. Nor do I want to have my progress straight-jacketed into pre-cut walks and pathways. Nature and all its little participants is very clever, theres a habitat for just about everybody, barring of course the hopeful additions that we heard Chris mention yesterday, Lynx, goodness what else and oh yes he tells us bears and wolves! Oh dear, how silly. I always think it a bit corny when an army of kids are enrolled to march upon The Palace!

In a practical real-life situation it has been the fifty years of excessive drainage on upland areas that to my mind has caused great harm, eradicating the upland sponge that minimises flooding. Likewise for decades farmers were paid to eradicate old hedges. How silly and blind!

Another point that I’ve never heard anyone speak of is the universal municipal spraying at any feature of grassed pathways, ie signposts, lampposts, fencing, kerb edges, all of these are microhabitats for tiny things which in turn would be a source of food. I’m talking about the nooks and crannies that have been rendered useless, not neccessarilly a complete re-wilding as per recent experiments. Here of course I am assuming the insect count is down compared with unsprayed, I must be vigilant here, as a great byword of mine is ‘don’t assume’, which is probably the most basic and elementary understanding in any rational and scientific treatment of any subject or situation.

Good quality front gardens are in great decline, concrete slabs, block paving and gravel as standing for cars has eliminated I guess a full half of what might have been a convenient hop off point and source of food for garden birds. A decent garden much like the washing line is becoming a rare thing. Even rarer is the ability to allow leaf litter to remain, to be adding an extremely beneficial upper organic layer that returns soil to what it should be, it was never intended to be naked.

I wonder to what extent ‘nature’ is taught in schools, I know in my early 1970’s UK Secondary School it was poorly dealt with. I could do a far better job myself. If art, practical handicraft (ie wood and metalwork) have been near eradicated and music in great decline at state schools then what of nature study?

My usual hobbyhorse of diatoms is a no-fail way to get kids interested.
