Biotic marine CO₂ removal relies on export of organic carbon from the surface ocean to the deep sea, where CO₂ will be kept out of the atmosphere even if the organic matter is remineralized. Deep-sea mining will bring this carbon to the ocean surface and release CO₂ to the atmosphere. Not awesome.

Quiet part, meet out loud.

I implore someone, anyone, in the media… Do your job And the next time you have Farage on, please ask him directly: …what were the motivations behind this?

I'd like to see the response to this if the question added "if that that means universities have less money to spend on UK students".

Yet we see no missing persons posters. It’s as if foreign children don’t count

Labour's plan for a levy on foreign student fees makes no sense, unless it's to appease racists who don't like foreign students, or populists who believe in the lump of student capacity fallacy, that somehow they displace domestic students out of education.

Hard for me to say how this is different from Fox News's entire business model, except that it's less sophisticated. This is transparently and obviously bad — and Elon should ban these accounts — but the spirit here of trading rage for money is pretty much a lot of right-wing media.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait. My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

This isn’t true! Regulated fares have always been set by the government, regardless of operator!

Russia has been committing war-crimes and crimes against humanity in Ukraine on a continuous basis. They executed civilians en masse. They hold thousands of Ukrainian children hostage after genocidal removals. This isn't Chamberlain wanting peace. This is wanting Hitler to win.

“Have they given up? Are they just deciding to build up herd immunity by watching us die? The government has given up, hasn’t it? They are throwing us into the slaughterhouse.” It’s not hindsight - we knew this at the time @drrachelclarke.com writes: observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

How utterly ridiculous “Some 83 per cent of those with more than £1 million in cash savings alone do not consider themselves rich, according to The Times Wealth Survey, published this week” That’s not £1 mill in assets including the house That’s £1million in CASH SAVINGS.

This is outrageous from Keir Starmer. ‘Russian links to Reform need investigating’, he says. So why is his government still fighting case now in Grand Chamber of Strasbourg court refusing to have such an investigation into Russian interference ?? news.sky.com/story/starme...

Implying that the "cause of our division" is too many care workers, as Mahmood does here, is both absurd and sinister.

6/ The CDC took one outlier from Supplement Table S4 of a study finding no increased risk and presented it as evidence we need more research. They're not bringing new evidence of harm. They're corrupting good science to manufacture uncertainty. More here: jakescottmd.substack.com/p/the-truth-...

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage. www.thetimes.com/article/1b15...

Illegal waste dumps are a growing problem. This one's located in a flood risk zone, raising the spectre of harmful chemicals getting into the river + floodwater. It's not only illegal waste sites - along the Cherwell, there are historic landfills, many unlined, in flood zones. 🧵 1/3

John Major, "Our links to Europe and America may be loser now than once they were and that is a loss" "The loss of trade with Europe alone costs us £100 billion of lost trade every year" "That's a tax yield of £40 billion" "How useful would that have been in recent months to the Chancellor?"

Btw, in case you have not noticed it--the last few hours have confirmed one thing. The alliance of dictators and autocrats is no longer notional--it is now up and running. The remaining democratic states in the world have to react now.

If we don't rapidly phase out fossil fuels, we can say goodbye to coral reefs, the Greenland and Antarctic icesheets, and permafrost. The results will not be pretty.

16,000 chemicals in plastic 4100 known to be hazardous 10,000 of these chemicals haven't been tested enough to know if they're harmful or not Rising plastic production, rising chemical production - a rising sea of harmful chemicals all around us all the time.

Before Brexit, the UK's GDP-per-head was on par with other major countries. Since Brexit, the UK's GDP-per-head has flatlined, & is now substantially worse than those countries. But blue passports, eh?

Jesus Christ. This is monstrous. Absolutely sickening. The journalists in that room should walk out en masse.

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

What the deuce? Utter madness.

One day we’ll look back on this as one of the stupidest things we’ve done.

Fossil fuels are the source material for most plastics + for the chemicals added to them. As firms lose their iron grip on energy production, indications are they're shifting to using oil + gas for plastic production, which has more than doubled since 2000 + looks set rise 40% in the next 10 years.

Deregulation - the dark path to poison in your lungs, excrement in your rivers, carcinogens in your food. A growing movement in Brussels is spreading the message that asking business to follow rules leads to economic death. They're working hard to destroy EU environmental + chemical protections.
