Climate change emergency is declared New Forest District Council has declared a climate change and nature emergency and has promised to set actions to address the situation. Leader Edward Heron said:
“This is a clear signal that we consider it of such importance that we will be building on the actions already under way and taking a more fundamental look at our activities, with the
target of reducing carbon emissions along with a plan to measure annual district-wide progress.” The council, which covers the Ringwood and Fordingbridge
area, will be taking more actions in every area of its day-to-day activities and operation and aims to improve the natural environment to support nature recovery.
Night sky events with Bob Mizon MBE of the Wessex Astronomical Society From mid to late November, watch a procession of three bright planets in the southwestern sky. We’ve read in my articles recently about the two giants, Jupiter and Saturn – now catch Venus, about the same size as Earth, as it pays a visit to the night sky. The ancients saw the pure white light of Venus and made it the Goddess of Love: little could they have known that it is a toxic planet with an atmosphere of carbon dioxide and sulphuric acid.
Parade of planets! It is the hottest in the Solar System with a surface temperature of 500C. How can Venus be hotter than Mercury (400C), which
is closer to the Sun? Mercury has no atmosphere, but the thick clouds of Venus ensure runaway global warming. They reflect three-quarters of
the sunlight that falls upon them making Venus so bright that, in a dark place on Earth, you can see shadows thrown by Venus. Clear skies!
