If you think BECCS (using wood as an electricity source, hoping to capture carbon) will save us, you should really read this paper.

Investors’ Ozempic Mania Could Be Bad for Our Health When did climate change stop being the most important issue of our time? According to a bunch of investors, quite recently.

Investors’ Ozempic Mania Could Be Bad for Our Health When did climate change stop being the most important issue of our time? According to a bunch of investors, quite recently.

I'm a big cat believer ever since a half-eaten sheep carcass appeared on my brother-in-law's land and then slowly got dragged away up the side of a mountain.

probably a fox but i choose to believe in welsh panthers

A very British tradition this - the right to see a big cat, in the dark, on a cold winter's evening, not take a photograph, and claim it was an escaped jaguar is a firm right for all Godfearing Englishmen. It's probably in Magna Carta or something.
