  • Wet winters are damaging farmland - is the solution in the soil?

    Wet winters are damaging farmland - is the solution in the soil?
    Mar 23 2024
    We've seen a trend over recent decades of wetter winters - and this year was no exception.

    This winter was in the top 10 wettest for the UK, with the south of England experiencing its wettest February since records began in 1836. Scientists expect this trend to continue as the climate changes.

    Farmers are particularly vulnerable to increased rainfall which either prevents them from sowing or destroys the seeds they have been able to plant.

    On this episode of ClimateCast, Tom Heap visits Groove Armada musician Andy Cato at his Wiltshire farm to find out how this winter has been challenging for farmers already on wafer-thin margins and what he thinks the solutions could be.

  • The group sabotaging SUV tyres to save the planet

    The group sabotaging SUV tyres to save the planet
    Mar 16 2024
    Sports Utility Vehicles, the big cars blamed for causing huge damage to the planet, now make up two-thirds of all new car sales.

    More commonly known as SUVs, many people are choosing them for their increased comfort and a feeling of safety.

    They were originally designed for off-roading in the countryside, but now they are often more of a status symbol.

    Their larger size and weight mean they're big polluters, so their growing number is undoing years of progress towards cleaner air.

    On this week's ClimateCast, Tom Heap speaks to the Tyre Extinguishers, climate activists who are notorious in cities around the world for deflating the tyres of SUVs to protest against their pollution.

    Plus, hear from AutoTrader's Erin Baker about why so many of us want these bigger cars.

    Producers: Alex Edden and Gemma Watson
