Badenoch speech today: "We made it the law that we would deliver net zero carbon emissions by 2050. And only then did we start thinking about how we would do that." This is not really true - eg see technical advice from Climate Change Committee before the decision www.theccc.org.uk/publication/...
theccc.org.uk
Net Zero - The UK's contribution to stopping global warming - Climate Change Committee
This report responds to a request from the Governments of the UK, Wales and Scotland, asking the Committee to reassess the UK's long-term emissions targets.

Ah man getting up in the dark is tough. My son is furious about it this morning. I’ve seen some efforts to launder January’s reputation on here, but I’m not having it. Things get better so slowly in Jan - February is the truly underrated, fastest improving month
Bat chart shows how much daylight is gained or lost in minutes per week through the year, for 51 degrees North latitude (southern Britain).
January shows relatively small increases, rising from 10 mins per week at the start to 20 mins per week by the end. February, March and April show the fastest gains, around 25 mins per week, peaking in mid March.
The pattern is mirrored in daylight losses in the Autumn, with September and October seeing the fastest loss of daylight.

1/ Last week, a BBC report and podcast claimed UK universities enrol students with poor English to balance books. This sparked two reactions: "no shit, Sherlock" or outright denial. 🧵https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0mzdejg1d3o

Universities enrolling foreign students with poor English, BBC finds
Institutions may be overlooking inadequate language skills to receive high fees from overseas students.

Last Fri, I spoke about research into how learners actually use dictionaries in ELT, esp from AS Hornby Dictionary Research Award (ASHDRA) projects, at an online IATEFL SIG event. If you're an IATEFL MaWSIG or ReSIG member, you can watch the recording by logging onto the IATEFL website:
A screenshot from the webinar showing the title slide which says: "How do learners actually use dictionaries? insights from research, Julie Moore, MaWSIG-ReSIG, 15 Nov 2024" You can see my face in the video feed in the top right corner and the Hornby Trust logo in the bottom left corner. I've added a pink banner in the top left saying "Recording available to MawSIG & ReSIG members"
