Jason Arday was subjected to a racially driven witch hunt. Far worse accusations or even confirmed cases of academic misconduct have received scant media attention. There should be an inquiry into media behaviour, bias and ethics. This can’t go unaccounted or happen again www.bbc.com/news/article...

Jason Arday: Former Cambridge university professor found dead
His family said it was "in shock to have lost this amazing father, partner, brother, uncle and son" after the academic was found dead in London on Friday.

The wrong question is dominating the energy crisis debate. Every interview starts the same: where do we find replacement fossil fuels and what happens to prices? In this BBC interview I push back. This is the moment to talk about escaping fossil fuel dependence - not the daily market noise.

We often forget how far we have come: ➡️ Today almost 50% of EU electricity generation is from renewable energy sources. ➡️ It is not long ago that fossil fuels dominated the EU's electricity mix. This year their share is approaching 1/4 of EU electricity generation. Source: @ember-energy.org

When it comes to climate change, the number of amplifying feedback cycles far outweigh the dampening ones. But here's one in the latter category! Eating more meat -> higher GHG emissions -> more climate change -> more meat allergies -> lower GHG emissions More by @olliemilman.bsky.social here:

Unusually aggressive lone star ticks, common in the south-east, are spreading to areas previously too cold for them
