With what's being called a mini-heatwave looming for the UK, it's not just humans looking forward to warmer weather.

The warm spell is expected to give a temporary boost to nature as migratory birds arrive from afar and butterflies stretch their wings.

The fact that this is being billed as 'a treat for nature lovers' and not 'a sign of how we're destroying the planet' is a big part of the problem.
