Tom here raises an interesting question while shouting into the void of social media. We have 8 months or so to destroy as much gas demand as possible in the least harmful way. Not a lot of time. What do you do?

As ever, such a strange choice from the Labour leadership not to make more of the government’s genuinely impressive track record on clean tech when it’s delivering economic growth, creates a dividing line with the Tories and Reform, and could build bridges with voters lost to the Greens.

Starmer's ability to find the exact sweetspot which pisses off everyone is extraordinary. He's a savant.

Wait until these people hear about heat network construction. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

As Michael points out this outcome was 100% predictable. Six months before this trial launched I interviewed a dozen EU cities who had trialled hydrogen transport. None would recommend it. All Aberdeen had to do was ask. Deeply frustrating waste of time and money.

Put another way, every single person who has ever held an Abla Party membership is so profoundly unlikable that they, on average, never managed to persuade a single family member or friend to vote for their preferred candidate.

Again, why are former politicians like Osborne and Blair making warnings like this about AI and not about clean tech where deployment is far more advanced and the benefits much clearer? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

There is more clarity of political vision and positivity for the future of this country in this one page foreword to the Local Power Plan than in everything else Starmer’s government has done since taking power

If this programme says the solution to poor quality heat pump installations is insulation I’m going to be disappointed but not entirely surprised.

How much will it cost the UK to reach an 87% cut in greenhouse gas emissions by 2040? In a new letter, @thecccuk.bsky.social confirms about £4bn a year (£26bn a year of costs minus £22bn a year of savings). www.theccc.org.uk/wp-content/u... 87% by 2040 is a stepping stone to net zero by 2050

It really is very good.

Epstein is the most garish and harrowing manifestation of this but oligarchy makes life miserable in a thousand other ways. A core point of democracy is that no one should have so much power that they can make themselves everybody's problem. We should have a political party that believes that

Ben Goldsmith is a huge figure in the rewilding movement. He is the host of "Rewilding the World". If they listen to him, this will soften Reforms image considerably and win lots of votes. But make no mistake - a Reform government will be a disaster for nature BECAUSE they will wreck the climate

This is much bigger news than you might realise. Reform have hired Ben Goldsmith to advise them on nature policy. Why does this matter? Because they have realised they can divide nature and climate in two, and capture the green conservative vote www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This helped me on the early train to work this morning. It's hard to concentrate on thoughts of W/K and flow temps and embodied carbon when fascism is on the rise. But as @emorwee.bsky.social points out, it's all part of the same fight, just operating on different timescales. Thank you Emily!

I feel like "someone says it's raining, someone else says it's not, your job isn't to simply quote both, but to look out the window and see who is right" is such a widely accepted and understood truism about how to do journalism, and yet

I don’t think a state that is threatening wars of territorial aggression and has random death squads wandering about its mid-tier cities assassinating civilians should be hosting the World Cup

We had to update your customer enquiry picklist at @locohome.bsky.social recently. Only at enquiry stage for the deep retrofit architect-led process, but lets see what happens.

This is a truly horrifying account of increasingly likely collapse of essential natural systems which would bring mass food shortages, price rises & global disorder. Commissioned from UK intelligence chiefs but scandalously suppressed by Govt, & sneaked out now while attention is elsewhere 👇

Another BBC explainer that fails to shed any light whatsoever on the question In the headline: ‘why are prices still rising’. obviously couldn’t mention the impact of climate change on agricultural output. Or indeed anything else. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Should things escalate further and today goes down in history as the end of American hegemony future UK historians may be surprised to find the papers focusing on the Beckhams falling out.

#WarmHomesHotTake it’s all vital, but a lot to get out the door. Consumer protection is key, ensure homes don’t just get kit, but the right kit, alongside the Q of how all the key targets are measured. MEES & EPC reform surely shapes how money is spent. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It’s Warm Homes Plan Eve! Won’t sleep tonight. How are we all coping? The WHP is mostly about Eng&Wales but I’m still interested in ECO successor and it unlocking ScotGov action. @lizlaine.bsky.social @katedes.bsky.social @marianneh.bsky.social @lowwintersun.bsky.social @richardlowes.bsky.social

What drove so much positive climate coverage in 2018-2021, before the organised pushback gathered pace? Could it have been something to do with the tens of thousands of people out on the street, pushing the climate up the news agenda and so visibly acting as if the truth was real?

How many years of your life could you stand to lose because of where you are born? Across the UK, that number can be as high as 16. We asked rapper and campaigner Darren McGarvey what he thought was driving this - to him the answers are obvious. This is what he had to say. 👇

Majority (5️⃣7️⃣%) of Scots oppose new North Sea oil and gas drilling 7️⃣5️⃣% under 35s opposed new drilling and considered climate change a key priority for next Scottish Government 6️⃣1️⃣% believing that clean energy will provide most job opportunities www.heraldscotland.com/news/257646...

It's been a good day for the government's clean power plans.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

shooting a woman that is saying "BYE DUDE" and driving away from you after you tried to get her attention to berate her is the ultimate wet dream of manosphereism

"It is a criminal offence to share intimate images of someone without their consent under the Sexual Offences Act in England and Wales, which includes images created by AI."

UK government, its agencies, local government, politicians, most media...

imagine a cheery BBC news report in 1938 breezily asking "which countries could be in Hitler's sights after the Sudetenland?"

Capitol storming is a January tradition for Donald

This is great: “How do we minimize upfront carbon and operating emissions while improving health and comfort with the least stuff for the most people?”

Surprisingly little coverage of the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement, tbh. The undisputed high watermark for multilateralism and a belief in a better future, as well as the primary mechanism for averting civilisation-scale disaster, and the milestone is still passing largely without comment.

Vaccines cause adults. 👍

Delighted that my motion on 'Investing in Housing and Investigating Rent Controls' passed at full council today - thank you to everyone who wrote to their councillors, to Cllr Cowan for seconding and fellow councillors for your support. Watch the debate at m.youtube.com/watch?v=LeAR...

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Your periodic reminder that if the global economy doesn’t get to net zero emissions temperatures will keep rising to the point where they trigger the failure of natural carbon sinks, runaway climate breakdown, and the collapse of the only civilisation-supporting biosphere in the known universe.

Wow, top article on UK National Emergency Briefing! By Claire Pool <notes name>. "food supply crisis cd cause civil unrest in the U.K. within the next decade, food security experts say". 👍 Mentions WW2 and mobilisation twice. Very good! Establish this image so itemised rationing is the logical next.

Yes. 8% is the global reduction rate from the start of 2026 &for an “83% chance of not exceeding 2°C” (based on Lamboll et al 2023 budgets). Include a relatively weak interpretation of international equity & the UK reduction rate would be nearer 13%pa; similar to that for most ‘developed’ countries.
