This may make some people pay attention, maybe not those in the Reform heartlands of Boston & Skegness though. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Another act of self harm by this US administration. Climate change is a national security threat. No ifs. No buts. No “it’s a point of view”. It is an irrefutable fact. And any nation that doesn’t recognise & act on that is failing in its primary responsibility to protect its people.

I look forward to a C grade English language GCSE being the basic qualification to claim any benefits.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Richard Tice might not believe in Climate Change, but insurance companies do.

I’m not sure how much credence can be given to this article which calls a tax position previous held by Margret Thatcher’s government & firmly defended by Norman Lamont “left wing”. apple.news/A2UcbxAuhRkW...

Kristi Noem’s America, folks. That poor dog. That poor family.

Still have lingering morning mist which doesn’t look like it’s going to burn off any time soon, fairly heavy cloud, & prob around 800m visibility, but still producing over a kW from our array, powering the house & topping up our battery. ☀️🔋

Every day is a good day to point out that 92% of Reform's donations were found to come from figures and groups linked to the fossil fuel industry. @desmog.com

The Chinese announce export controls on domestic rare earth minerals & components manufactured from them almost a week ago. Markets barely blinked. One tweet from the “greatest ever businessman”, markets plunge & crypto markets lose $300 billion dollars, with indicators of WH insider trading. 🤷‍♂️

I agree is looks like a major shift - or to put it another way, at last a recognition of reality.

I really don't know what to do about a situation where a plurality of the group that (rightly!) takes up most government spending thinks that it is unrepresented in politics.

Majority of Tory members oppose Kemi Badenoch’s net zero plans More than half of Tory members said they support Britain’s target of reaching net zero by 2050.

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

The msm pursued the Rayner story in such detail it forced her resignation . Now there’s a much bigger scandal concerning Farage of possible treason it’s like they’ve forgotten how to spell investigate & corruption. It’s not only Farage who has a Russian problem, if our msm protects him we all do .

The Primary Energy Fallacy is the idea that all primary energy from fossil fuels must be replaced with equivalent amount of clean energy. BUT: Not necessary because >2/3 of all primary energy is lost as waste heat. Electrification+renewables are far more efficient. medium.com/@jan.rosenow...

Reform UK’s Nigel Farage with the Russian Ambassador (that he denied meeting), and with Oleg Voloshyn's wife Nadia Borodi, Voloshyn bribed Nathan Gill. Farage is still silent. It’s deafening. #ReformRussianBribes

Watching The Lost Bus on Apple. No mention of Majorie Taylor Greenes “Jewish Space Lasers”? Nobody saying “if only we raked some leaves!”. Woke. 😄

A thief with a peerage is still a thief.

Gentle reminder that the USA emits more than twice as much CO2 per person as the UK (adjusted for consumption) ourworldindata.org/grapher/cons...

The man. The muppet.

Right-wing media fluffs Farage for years, to the point where he now leads the polls, and then start whining about Starmer being 'obsessed' when he starts telling some long overdue home truths. It's actually hilarious.

Matt Frei’s brilliant, must watch 12 minute @channel4news.bsky.social exposé on who funds Nigel Farage. Original broadcast date: May 16th, 2019 youtu.be/n5qxehLbHiQ?...

China is not doing this because they’re hippy eco-warriors or been tricked into “believing the climate change scam”. They’re doing it because it makes good economic sense.

Senior employees of Reform Private Limited Company being in the pay of the Russian state is hardly surprising though, is it?

German media seems to be taking more seriously than ours the fact a leading light in the party UK press keeps saying will be next government took bribes from Russia to spout their lies. Maybe it’s because they put NEWS ahead of propaganda

Yesterday morning I was stood in a queue at Birchanger Services behind someone I vaguely perceived to perhaps be moderately “famous”, an actress maybe, but I’ve got no idea who it was & it’s still annoying me that I can’t place them at 0730 the day after.

ok but get a heat pump

I'm finally looking forward to Russia's disinformation campaign no longer emailing us endless fake news videos about Moldova and Maia Sandu. Guess they won't be getting their bonuses www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We should have a little moment of celebration for #Moldova, should we not?

Really need the BBC and everyone else to note that the US has the highest per capita carbon emissions when they wring their hands about China’s emissions. And that we are the largest contributor to climate change because we’ve been emitting a lot longer.

I don’t even know anything about golf but I’m unreasonably happy that Europe has retained the Ryder Cup in the face of the yanks terrible lack of decorum & sportsmanship.

Nigel Farage's attendance record as an MEP was 748 out of 751, yet he turned up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian disinformation. Now one of his MEPs has admitted taking bribes to spread Russian propaganda. Why is this not all over the media?

Now, this is interesting… ‘The demand for secondhand EV batteries is surging, with buyers repurposing them for everything from solar storage units to off-grid energy systems that can replace diesel generators.’ #batteries #ProductStewardship www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This is because Reform relies on building a coalition of disordered counterpublics reacting against distrusted institutions, and the anti-vax community is part of that, so he knows he needs to keep is vague to avoid upsetting them.

America 2025. Please Don’t Offend The White Supremacists

Much like "Pensioners live in crippling poverty!" rising crime is a boilerplate belief long past the point it's true, both because to say otherwise can be read as saying the amount that *does* exist isn't important, and because it's a formative memory for the most important slice of the electorate.

Dutch late night TV has its take

‘Of further concern is the heavy reliance on carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, which are unlikely to occur as this technology is high-cost and unproven in many applications.’ - Rod Sims #ClimateCrisis CCS is a con! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Trump is in today’s State Visit press conference saying wind power is "a disaster, a very expensive joke" Presumably he didn’t realise every other light 💡 and microphone 🎤 in that press conference was being powered by wind

I could go through my timeline & find the posts where I was attacked by corbynistas when I predicted it would be a clusterfuck. 😄

EPIC trolling, Channel 4 🔥 #TrumpLies

All political tribes can be hypocritical but the right's current level of hypocrisy on free speech is deliberate. It's an assertion of power not a blindspot.

Hey @willnorman.co.uk - CS6 Farringdon Road has a closed section which the signed cyclist diversion sends you straight into another closed road at junction of Greville Street & Saffron Hill. Then the separated cycle way on Gray’s Inn Road has cars parked *on* it which caused a taxi to left hook me.

This is a fine depiction of what the BBC News (still not on Bluesky, but still on the site owned by the foreigner encouraging subversion in the UK) should have been talking about yesterday, rather than their breathless coverage trying to present this visit as anything other than dysfunctional.

‘Security concerns’ the BBC’s euphemism for ‘this is a president so intensely loathed by the British public he has to be kept well away from them.’

The word in energy circles is that the UK passed a significant milestone yesterday: for one hour, Britain's entire domestic electricity demand was met entirely by clean sources.
