40% of *everything being shipped everywhere on Earth* is fossil fuels Just an absolute laughing-stock clown-show of an energy source. This is laughably absurd, why do we treat this like it's normal and good Fossil fuels are a satirical fuel www.irena.org/-/media/File...
Global shipping transports fossil fuels and runs on oil: 40% of shipped products are fossil fuels or derivatives, while 99% of international shipping’s energy demand is met by oil-based fuels.

Israel’s Destruction of Southern Lebanon Intensified After the Cease-Fire
Much of Israeli-occupied southern Lebanon has been leveled, according to a Times analysis. The majority has been destroyed by Israel since the April truce.

1. #MedievalSky, grab a lifejacket and a seasickness bag, we’re casting off on a thread about the Norman invasion fleet in 1066! 960 years ago, the Normans landed at Pevensey and established a base at the Roman shore fort which was already succumbing to erosion from the sea on its south side. 1/20

Sorry, but Sky’s post match interviews being business as usual isnt right. Not saying they should ask the players questions about the guilty verdict - I mean they shouldnt ask them questions at all. Nor should we be treated to City’s players and fans celebrating.

Why on earth does this BBC piece on Burnham telling an interviewer the UK security services confirmed Russian interference in the Brexit referendum require a response from a pro Brexit pressure group? It's literally our Prime Minister telling us about election security. It's nothing to do with them.
The prime minister told The Rest is Politics podcast that upon arriving in No 10, he had asked about possible Russian interference in the 2016 vote, adding: "I've had the clear answer that, yes, there was."

"I think we've been too much on the back foot on that actually and we haven't informed people sufficiently about the extent to which people are seeking to disrupt the political process from overseas," he added.

Burnham did not provide further details about the type or extent of Moscow's activity during the Brexit referendum.

Britain Unbound, a pro-Brexit campaign group, said Burnham's comments were "another crude attempt to undermine the legitimacy of the decision that the British people made in 2016".

It said that foreign interference in UK elections was "obviously unacceptable" but added: "There is no good reason to believe that Russian intervention influenced the outcome of the referendum in 2016.

Fine, if casting it as enemy action makes it easier to sell to people as an obviously fucking stupid thing to have done. But I do not see how Russian interference could amount to as much as a tiny fraction of the blame that should be laid on the Conservative Party, the Sun, the Mail and others.

“We can speak about what this means for the game going forward, but we can also admire what they’re doing on the pitch”, says Carragher like they aren’t fucking linked. They’re only doing what they’re doing on the pitch because they cheated. The players aren’t there because they love LS Lowry.

Kemi Badenoch wants to exempt the family home from inheritance tax. But that creates a perverse incentive for elderly people to *upsize* to save IHT. That could double the cost of the policy, and push £100bn+ from savings into housing. A 🧵 on bad tax cuts.

75GW of demand is a staggering figure. Essentially TRIPLES, at *best*, the nation's energy consumption. How can any sane government even contemplate allowing this? The AI bubble cannot pop soon enough.
AI datacentres use a massive amount of electricity to power servers and cooling equipment, and to run facility systems. There are 315 datacentres in the queue to connect to the UK’s electricity grid, representing 73GW of demand. This is almost double the peak winter energy demand for the entire UK.

I often see people argue that clean energy is not reducing emissions, because it just adds to rather than replaces fossil fuels. This argument is deeply misguided – clean energy built since 2005 has displaced 23 billion tons. I dive in over at The Climate Brink:
theclimatebrink.com
What if the world hadn't built wind and solar?
Clean energy does not simply “add to” global energy use; it displaces fossil sources that would otherwise get built.
