@DavidWebbTweet@BenGrahamUK That doesn't answer the question. It's only useful for reconstructing Greenland's past climate,Greenland isn't the whole planet is it?
If you're making a claim about the whole planet then please provide data (of the whole planet) not of a single region.
If you come across human induced Climate change impact denier Dr. Matthew M. Wielicki, note that his expertise is in "petrology" according to @uageosci and he spends his time misleading people. We start with his twitter background image #ClimateBrawl 🧵

Believing that unleashing drilling in the North Sea will magically reduce our energy bills isn’t just naive, it's exactly what Big Oil propagandists and paid-for politicians are literally banking on.
@rachelmillward is completely correct. The only way to energy independence is to untether ourselves from global gas hikes, through strategic renewable investment.
We're still paying overinflated prices following the outbreak of the Ukraine War, with the Iran war raising prices even further. And all the while, Big Oil are making record profits. It's crisis opportunism, and many of our politicans are allowing it.
This isn't a problem that's going away and it's not one that will be solved by drilling the North Sea, where oil will be sold the global rate.
Accelerating the renewable transition is not only the most responsible thing we can do for the environment, it's also the most economically savvy thing we can do to lower our bills, gain energy independence, create jobs, and future proof our economy.

It's "they're banning the word EASTER" week.
Regular as clockwork...
So here comes a history lesson and media lesson all rolled into one thread!
PS, I can't believe there's no easter egg emoji?

News. Energy standing charges finally to fall a little bit.
I'm pleased that after consulting the Government has listened and is shifting Warm Home Discount costs off the standing charge and onto the unit rate.
It should take roughly £40 a year from the standing charge, roughly split between gas & elec, starting in April next April. This aligns with the planned unit rate reduction (from cancelling Eco and moving some other costs into general taxation).
Overall, assuming all else stays equal (which it won’t, as I’ve written before) this means the standing charge should fall, and the unit rate should still fall too, because the added cost to it from this shift is smaller than the reduction from removing the policy costs.
It’s only a baby step, but it’s good to see some movement in the right direction. I think this is a totem of the direction of travel, and having spoken to both Ed Milliband and the Ofgem boss about this, I think they are hearing the mood music about the standing charge.
I now hope Ofgem follows this route in its long-term consultation on the future structure of energy bills.
The standing charge is a moral hazard that disincentivises lower usage and keeps bills high for people who use very little energy. It’s the biggest single cause of complaint I get about energy bills, by a mile.
Paying £300+ a year simply for the facility of having energy is too much. It also penalises people, especially older people, who don’t use gas in the summer yet still pay for it every day.
