Just turned off the TV rather than watching another Olympic curling match on BBC: I'd literally prefer watching paint drying on my wall than anymore curling. Love playing it, can't watch it in large doses.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

We need to get real. Met Éireann is not to blame for flooding damage - poor planning, building on flood plains, not implementing over 20 years of remedial action are. We were warned decades ago winter rain would increase, but continued doing nothing and built on space needed for water #spéirghorm

Literally no mention in the mainstream news of the 5th Anniversary of Trump supporters attempting to violently overthrow the U.S Government.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said Ukrainian, British and European officials are close to finalising a streamlined alternative to the US peace proposal to end Russia’s war that includes security guarantees for the country. www.ft.com/content/2351...

Someone should tell him how much the oil industry gets in subsidies & the amount of renewable capacity you could build with that kind of investment. Pumping the $1.4 trillion provided directly & indirectly globally for oil each year into solar would make quite a difference.

It’s frustrating to watch interviews like the one between the @thedailyshow.com’s Jon Stewart & @elizkolbert.bsky.social tonight, suggesting we don’t know the solutions to the #ClimateCrisis, & better solutions aren’t “politically viable.” WE KNOW THE SOLUTIONS, AND ONLY CORRUPTION MAKES THEM HARD.

FEMA’s terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year #Climate

Despite worries about solar under Trump, the sector has not collapsed & prospects look good - hence surge in solar share prices A lot of tax credits have been maintained, datacentres need power and solar is cheap &fast to deploy, rooftop promising as power prices rise www.ft.com/content/af1f...

Ok I see news reports lacking clarity. The two roadmaps announced by the COP30 Brazilian presidency on halting deforestation and transitioning away from fossil fuels are voluntary in nature. They were announced at the closing plenary without gavelling. They do not constitute a COP decision

A great summary of why farming insects for protein is probably not a solution to our food security and environmental challenges… While it might have a niche role, it’s not nearly as effective as other solutions - plant-based diets, reducing food waste, etc. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Those promises of fresh Saudi money look more tenuous — as PIF’s reps “have begun telling international investors that it is all but unable to allocate any more money for the foreseeable future, six people with knowledge of those discussions said.” @nytimes.com 🇸🇦 www.nytimes.com/2025/11/19/b...

In the Museum of Brands and Packaging down in Notting Hill, you can see this happening again and again. “McIntosh’s Radio Toffee”. “Vimulon Atomic Soap: now with Uranium!” “Tinford’s Electric Cufflinks”. It’s always bollocks. It’s the giveaway it’s a nine day’s wonder, before it all calms down.

After too many companies, politicians, media, and institutions pretty quickly bent the knee to Trump, today a whole bunch of voters didn’t.

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart governments do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear— it wastes public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife.com

NEW: Plug-in hybrids pollute almost as much as petrol cars, new data shows. Yet EU carmakers are pressuring lawmakers to treat these cars as clean under the guise of ‘technology neutrality’. 🧵⤵️

Plug-in hybrids? Not as clean as you might have thought, new research from T+E www.transportenvironment.org/articles/plu...

A reminder.

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW). The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

🌊100,000+ Irish homes,businesses (4.5%) vulnerable to coastal flooding. Uninsurability rising. www.irishtimes.com/environment/... 😯Meanwhile: Reckless campaign by aviation interests to increase flights MORE.

What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Vertical rows are the agrivoltaic winner! “The vertical panels produce slightly less electricity—but with higher value, as generation peaks coincide with morning and late afternoon demand…The crops don't seem to mind the presence of solar panels and they like the wind protection they provide.”

New research from China suggests that oysters can be good at removing carbon dioxide from oceans, making the bivalves both an important food source and a potential tool in the fight against climate change and ocean acidification.

This is a direct result of EU's carbon tariffs. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

As an American, Charlie Kirk had every right to say whatever he believed without fear of violence. The fact that someone murdered him is sickening and alarming. The fact that Trump is trying to use it as an excuse to silence criticism and opposition is also sickening and alarming.

Carbon emissions from oil giants directly linked to dozens of deadly heatwaves for first time Time to #MakePollutersPay! #ClimateLitigation #ClimateCrisis

100% true.

The Justice Department's acting deputy chief was caught on a hidden camera saying that the government will "redact every Republican" from an Epstein client list and "leave all the liberal, Democratic people."

Econ 101 (and it's true, too): At some point in time, real estate and other markets in 🇪🇺 and elsewhere will expect heavy climate shocks. 👇 Anticipation is a very powerful market force, and despair is bad for growth. Best to use the time now: renew and electrify.
