only.one/act/central-... Central Arctic Ocean faces proposed seabed mining, transpolar shipping & industrial encroachment as sea ice diminishes and the waters become more navigable. In the least-researched ocean this is totally irresponsible and must be stopped

On my way, Clacton.

I've heard these arguments a lot, it seems like he has a good argument, but I'm not an economist or a trader, so I'd be very interested to hear other opinions. youtube.com/watch?v=TzvA...

🚨 Breaking: 76 civil society orgs have written to the UK Gov calling for economic, social & cultural rights to be recognised. 50 years ago today, the UK ratified #ICESCR50 and promised rights including housing, food & health. That promise remains unfulfilled. Read 👇 justfair.org.uk/wp-content/u...

It's a far to familiar picture by now - popular discontent being channeled allong the lines of base prejudice and worse. It is at least consoling to hear two sane voices on the subject. youtube.com/watch?v=tvt8...

As Britain swelters through another heatwave, few people will have heard that ministers have quietly dropped plans for solar carports. Cars cooler in summer. Shelter from the rain in winter. Clean electricity all year round. A missed opportunity?

Baroness Natalie Bennett (former leader of the Green Party in England & Wales) has launched a project to explore one of Britain's most powerful and secretive institutions: The City of London Corporation. And she wants to hear from you! Complete the survey 👉docs.google.com/form...

-From Quarks to Quasars 1/ Fired government scientists just launched a new site to keep climate data public.The site is called Climate.us & it was created by former staffers behind Climate.gov, the NOAA-run website long used by many for trusted climate information."

It's 25 years on, and YEC is still a thing unsurprisingly. This is a neat and tidy explaination of just one of the ways they are wrong. youtube.com/shorts/eQqzA...

Me ranting about Dan Hannan and other twits

My closing remarks at the European Movement conference. Brexit is dead - it has failed. It is now the future we focus on — — and *how* we set visions & plans for the UK as a full member of the EU.

SO many British people know NOTHING of this! youtube.com/watch?v=13zQ...

Because apparently this needs to be said: don‘t take research $ from an oil company, and if you do definitely don’t let them write your papers

Hold on to your seats folks! Given how uninformed most people are, how unreliable and time consuming to reach any kind of political consensus. We are definitely not going to keep up. So how do we hold them to account? What would that even mean during a colossal disaster? youtu.be/V04bm-3d6EQ?...

Sorry did he just say that wind tower fields were “tens of thousands of miles” large?

South West Water fined £1.853m for supplying contaminated drinking water. SWW is a serial offender, loses 107m litres of water daily to leaky pipes, dumped sewage in rivers for 407,006 hours. Still trades. No exec fined or charged. People fleeced. End the circus. Nationalise water.

A thoroughly joyful and inspirational conversation 😊 youtube.com/watch?v=j4Xo...

I cannot recommend this conversation between @pkrugman.bsky.social and @volts.wtf enough. Every point was a banger, and DR’s final exhortation that young people go into clean energy rather than finance actually made me tear up a little. So good. open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

Something a little more light hearted for you today. youtube.com/shorts/QcvOw...

about this time every night, I get hit by a wave of sadness about resigning from Monkey Cage, having worked so hard to make it what it was. The viciousness in the world was victorious this time , but I hope to work on my phoenix wings, or at least have my ashes spread on the strawberry patch.

Mic-drop moment that deserves a revolution behind it. My apologies for sharing from Shambook. youtube.com/shorts/7eQIU...

"I them jobs:" a thought on wealth creation. I gave you a job. He said. A job is not an asset, it's a liability. A job completed becomes an asset. Where wealth is created. A hole in the roof is a liability, a job. A fixed roof is an asset. Who is the wealth creator, asset owner or roofer?

The EU-Mercosur trade deal will be a disaster for rainforests and other natural ecosystems in South America, as well as the climate. Every environmentalist should be fighting this. share.google/FkOsGQPzuMDO...

The rainforest the world forgot. The Congo basin is the second largest rainforest on Earth, and a critical defence against climate breakdown and species loss. Why then, is it so neglected? share.google/HrPOEJxfATQX...

Huge potential even if I'll never live to see it, it's what the people of the future deserve, so so much better that the hangover of the recent past. youtu.be/MuTV1SiYeu4?...

We're told one of these land uses is 'productive', while the other is not. But in terms of photosynthetic levels, as well as the production of clean air, water, no flooding, a stable climate, etc, etc, the natural ecosystem wins hands down. As for biodiversity, let's not even go there.

a BOLD CLAIM! Fascinating conversation. Halfway through, my brain is still spinning round the idea that life, (or code,) that copy's itself, is more stable. So evolution of complex life, may be said to obey the second law of thermodynamics. What do you think? youtu.be/rMSEqJ_4EBk?...

How old is the old Holloway from the straights of Dover, past Stonehenge, to seaton? Why Seaton? Unless that route led to a now submerged land route, to seal hunting as the sea ice wasn't far off the NW coast of Ireland? 🏺 I suspect the route, is older than Britain being an island.

There is a key moral distinction between immigration policy on new arrivals, no matter how draconian, and on people who have already been granted status, on set conditions. It is about being a country that keeps its word. If we're not that, we might as well fucking give up now.

“Harvard geneticist David Reich said … increasingly sophisticated analysis of genetic material made possible by technological advances shows that virtually everyone came from somewhere else, and everyone’s genetic background shows a mix from different waves of migration that washed over the globe.”
