Does this beggar belief? No. It is no surprise whatsoever The fossil fuel sector has been suppressing the truth for 3/4 of a century www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Fed up with people shirking responsibility by arguing that the UK causes just 1% of emissions? Here are two fantastic analogies from a primary school teacher, Mark in Coventry, who called Sheila Fogerty on @lbc.co.uk - one involving dog poo 😆 Other arguments here: www.nebriefing.org/mp-dialogue

Agree. Ultimately the 'respectable' line that Starmer has been good on foreign policy died with Khamenei. Can we stop the US starting wars we believe are ruinous and endanger our allies? No. Can we stop him waging information war on us? No.

Other things that do more harm than good when you don't count the number of lives they save: - air bags (messy) - traffic lights (expensive) - bridge inspections (boring) - carbon monoxide alarms (battery low beep so annoying)

It's wild. We have so many real problems as a country, and instead a large chunk of our political class would rather hallucinate that one of the safest big global cities in the world is actually dangerous.

Have started listening and right from the off we have claims from Coutinho that she was the first Energy Secretary to question net zero and that net zero is 'making emissions worse'. The UK has delivered the fastest emissions reductions in the G20.

Terrific column by @johnthornhill.bsky.social, which also led me to a great FT story I'd missed at the time:

Generative AI models are skilled in the art of bullshit
Large language models are unconcerned with truth because they have no concept of it — and therein lies the danger

Great to see yesterday’s @thenewsagents.com episode look into the backlash to animal feed additives to reduce livestock emissions. Less great to hear them perpetuate the common misconception that most methane is emitted through cow flatulence - it’s actually livestock burping that’s the culprit!

Not complaining that everyone’s voting with their feet and joining #Bluesky, but part of me (the paranoid part) is thinking we should pipe down with the advertising on the other place, in case Musk gets any bright ideas about buying up and ruining this place, too.
