A good afternoon at the
#UKChampionship
#Snooker
. Great win for Zizins against Carter. Heathcote also looked great against a typically casual Lisowski. Hats off also to Slessor who toughed it out, winning by a point in the last frame.

~5% of fossil gas & 15% of oil go into “non-energy producing purposes”: raw material for plastics, fertilizers, industrial chemicals etc. A global plastics treaty has just been nixed. These are not unrelated. The petrochemicals industry is fighting for their backup plan in a clean energy world.

Fellow Earthlings: tomorrow (July 3), is
#aphelion
! That's the point in Earth's year-long orbit when it's at its most distant from the sun. (The closest approach to the sun is called perihelion.) The average difference between aphelion and perihelion is about 3.1 million miles.

If you don't measure it, it can't be real... Trump tries to kill off the 'Keeling Curve' by closing the Mauna Loa observatory which has been measuring CO2 from a Hawaii mountaintop since 1958.

It's not a vintage Crucible final (assuming Willo doesn't win ten in a row!). But elite sport is not always about close contests. Watching a great player perform at the highest level on the biggest stage is enjoyable in itself. Overall it's been one of the best World

Championships ever.

Well played Judd Trump. 100 centuries and the one hundredth starts with a fabulous plant. From there it seemed inevitable when he's playing like this. Respect to Shaun Murphy for his congratulations. A great Crucible moment!

Surely Steve Davis is wrong. Joe couldn't put John Higgins back in after missing the pink in that last frame. Joe needed a snooker so the miss wasn't called.

Zhao looked a bit cold this morning. But once he's in his stride, his break building is effortless. Can he keep his form over a fortnight and another hundred or so frames? Maybe only Selby can stop him getting to the final.

January 2025 was quite unexpectedly the warmest January on record at 1.75C above preindustrial, beating the prior record set in 2024. This is despite the presence of La Niña conditions in the tropical Pacific, with the El Niño event of 2023/2024 long faded.
