Hi @tomgordonld.bsky.social please can you raise this in some form of official capacity please?

Critical Atlantic current significantly more likely to collapse than thought Scientists say finding is ‘very concerning’ as collapse would be catastrophic for Europe, Africa and the Americas

"Rahmstorf, who has studied the Amoc for 35 years, has said a collapse must be avoided 'at all costs'. 'I argued this when we thought the chance of an Amoc shutdown was maybe 5%, and even then we were saying that risk is too high, given the massive impacts. Now it looks like it’s more than 50%.'"

BROWDER: We're at war with Russia. If they want to sever internet cables coming into UK, it will cause catastrophic economic collapse. We can't allow that to happen.

If that includes boarding Russian ships that are trolling around the waters surveying our internet cables, then so be it.

When Labour next tell you there is no money left and that's why they can't help people to heat their homes, show them this.

REJOIN "is the rational and the patriotic approach," Neil Kinnock says at the launch of @bestforbritain.org's new report. "In an era of Trump's tariffs and tantrums, colossal Chinese advance, Russia's war on the West, and turmoil in the Middle East, our 'special relationship' has to be with Europe."

Hungary's new PM urges Starmer to rejoin EU amid push to unwind Brexit Péter Magyar, who defeated Viktor Orbán in a stunning result overnight, said he 'hoped' the UK would become a member state again.

Mail poll now 85% for Rejoining the EU and just 11% for staying out.

Keir Starmer is right to put Brexit in the bin Brexiteer complaints are wrongheaded and disheartening

❌ Brexit has failed. It is time we made a change.

Hi @davidrvetter.bsky.social - this is such a disappointing article

Hi @ketanjoshi.co - as per your post.

Not sure what is going on here. Very disappointing article

Migrants are making false domestic abuse allegations to stay in the UK, BBC investigation finds In the third part of an undercover investigation, the BBC reveals how rules aimed at protecting abuse victims are being exploited.

Alternative headline:

Vulnerable people exploited by profiteering fraudsters who stand to make millions by posing as legal advisors.

As I wrote in 'Anywhere But Here', these advice sharks have networks as entrenched as smugglers. Nothing is being done to stop them.

Why cheap power could matter more than clean power in the push for net zero The question of how important making our electricity clean is to going green is coming under increasing scrutiny

Can anyone with good knowledge of this subject comment on this article please?

Is it reliable? It seems a tad dubious to me, but I'm not an expert.

Thank you

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?

The countries we depend on face far higher climate risk than we do.

Amazing

"In one scenario at CO₂ concentrations of 450ppm —last experienced by Earth several million years ago, when polar ice was significantly reduced—Antarctic temperatures rise by 6°C while Arctic temperatures drop by 7°C due to #AMOC collapse"

Image of electric pylons. Le Monde. Headline, "Spain's diplomatic freedom is not only political, it is energetic" by Jérôme Batout, Philosopher and economist

Spain charted a course of renewable energy that's shielded it from the impact of the Iran War, closure of the Strait of Hormuz, spiralling oil prices.

It's given Spain energy independence that allows them to stand their ground & pursue their own political agenda:

The incoming Hungarian Prime Minister, Péter Magyar, has stated that "I remember when I was a diplomat in Brussels... We were able to influence decisions. At the time, the Brits were also part of the EU. Let's hope they will rejoin."

🇬🇪🇭🇺Viktor Orbán lost Hungary's election yesterday. For most Europeans, this is a relief. For Georgian Dream, it is a strategic catastrophe.
Their single most important protector in Europe is gone. Here's what that actually means.

Incoming Hungarian PM Péter Magyar calls for the UK to rejoin the European Union:

"I remember when I was a diplomat in Brussels... We were able to influence decisions. At the time, the Brits were also part of the EU. Let's hope they will rejoin."

Orbán’s 16-year rule over Hungary ends in crushing election defeat The Hungarian prime minister concedes to Péter Magyar, who is set to win a supermajority in the 199-seat parliament.

🚨🚨Impossible to understate the importance of #Órban's defeat for European politics and world politics with an utter rejection of #MAGA as a policy style by the Hungarian electorate.

The world is already shining with new light after the #Hungarianelections. 🧵

SUVs are making Britain’s potholes worse, say scientists Engineers link reduced lifespan of roads to shift to heavier cars, some bought to navigate damaged surfaces

Bikes don't do this.

They make EVERYTHING worse. Ban, tax, whatever, but acknowledge it already

I think that the EU is in a situation where it needs more countries. The UK, Ukraine, Türkiye, and Norway. These are four strong countries, which are part of Europe. Together, the UK, Ukraine, and Türkiye have armies that are stronger than Russia's army. Without Ukraine and Türkiye, Europe can’t match Russia. With the four countries on board you can wrest control of the seas, have secure skies and the largest land forces. Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine

Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine, has said that he believes the UK should join the EU in order to defend against Russian aggression. In a time of heightened insecurity, a deeper UK–EU defence partnership is not simply an advantage, it is essential.
