If aliens are searching the galaxy for life this would be a good way to spot us. Though they’d have to have dropped the “I” from their SETI programme….

You either accept the IPCC’s assertion that there should be no new fossil fuel infrastructure globally, or you don’t. If UK invests in new fossil fuel infrastructure, then it destroys its capacity to argue that no one else should. 1/2

“At an energy conference in Houston on Monday, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said [about renewables], "The era of taxpayers subsidizing unreliable, unaffordable and unsecure energy is officially over.” Later that day, one of America’s largest oil refineries exploded” heated.world/p/the-true-p...

What oil actually costs
The market price of oil has never reflected its true cost. This week made that impossible to ignore.

Good job the sign was there otherwise I’d have just walked straight into this large van! Phew. Close call

We will know our governments are serious about tackling the climate crisis when it’s cheaper to take the train from northern UK to the south of France than it is to fly. And not 2-3 times the price

Today i passed an older gent (60s?) who’d done a similar commute. We had a chat and his parting words were “e-bikes make it so easy - and it makes you feel so good!”

My commute to work (one route): 12 miles and 500m of climbing. 45mins and no sweat on an ebike 10 minutes longer than driving; 10 minutes quicker than the bus

Phasing out fossil fuels ‘doomed to fail’, says Tony Blair as he calls for rethink of net zero policy – UK politics live Carbon Capture & Storage and nuclear power you say Tony? Ok then some questions: 1/2

I suppose looking on the bright side maybe then US and Russia being the same side now makes a nuclear war less likely?

Not just the obvious stuff, but why will any British citizen feel any responsibility to take personal action on climate change when Government’s message is Fly baby, Fly?

It was my 2024 aim to get to work by bike (normal or “e”) 40% of the time. Made it. 79 days at 28 miles round trip = 2,200 miles by bike (vs 111 days by car). It was mostly fun… Just imagine what the Isle of Mancould do with an actual Active Travel program and some infrastructure….
