Heavy rain and extreme weather could put millions of homes at risk of surface water flooding this winter, with El Niño increasing the likelihood of wetter conditions. Today I asked the Mayor about plans to alert people and how we ensure people get the support they need.

Honestly, the fact that this little effort went into concealing the BS is as damning an indictment of the tech press as anything one could write in a thousand essays on the topic. “Should we make it look realer?” “Nah, they’re stupid enough it won’t matter.”

Elon Musk just poured $366 MILLION into the midterm election cycle. That's more than he spent to get Trump elected. It's also less than 0.04% of his fortune. Pocket change to buy a Congress that will give him more tax breaks and shut down investigations into his businesses.

The UK's plan to increase organic farming completely misses the big picture Yes, organic is better on some local measures. But yields are lower, which means more land is needed elsewhere, which globally means higher GH emissions and lower biodiversity www.newscientist.com/article/2220...
