Warning - contains plot spoiler

A quick woodland run before heading back up to the Highlands.
Last night we watched the final episode of the BBC’s excellent series Frozen Planet- that's the episode that several countries have declined to purchase, mentioning no names, but the US & Canada know who I mean. This was also the episode which showed, with beautiful clarity, the accelerating consequences of global warming in the Arctic and Antarctic. As more ice melts, so more heat is absorbed, so more ice melts – and all the while sea levels rise. And climates change. And more droughts occur. And more people starve.
