This NASA visualisation has it all: It shows the CO2 emitted into the earth's atmosphere + clarifies who is responsible for the climate crisis: we, the Global North.

@BlackPanthaaYT Needed @EuroNCAP Lane Keep Assist!

@jdleggcan @zsk Seriously thought that was swerve component failure. Also known as "Lane Assist", or "LKA", according to @EuroNCAP

Unless you deepen your understanding of the system and the society to which you have been born, you will forever be no more than a servant to it.

Understand this. You are not loved or protected by this system, which you uphold and have been convinced to protect. 1/

@Pirateofchance @EuroNCAP He he, Peter! But not funny really. As you say, its *D A N G E R O U S*

@EuroNCAP @Pirateofchance I know you do, but it is ineffective and takes attention away from the road when it decides to intervene, therefore increasing risks.

🧵Here's a thread about an obscure economic theory from a century and a half ago, which is about to become a MASSIVE deal.
⚡️It helps explains why tackling climate change is going to be v v hard. Some say impossible.
The story begins with this building👇

NEW

The UK government has just quietly published estimates showing wind and solar will be several times cheaper than gas, for the foreseeable future

A few senior cabinet members (& a large section of the media) might like to take a look?

I repeatedly see some climate activists, lashing out at the public for not doing more to pressurize our crooked politicians into taking much more climate action.

I feel their frustration, but they're mistaken, because they fail to see how the public are being gaslighted.

@deejayhome Funny you say that…. The power source on this one is in the middle so it must be a Cayman not a 911!

@byrninho @anon_opin Yes, but doesn't include "exclude sponsored"

Sadly, just more #enshittification, see also @doctorow

[Anon Opin. @anon_opin]

The massive influx of cheap import goods, and the lack a function to filter them out of searches, has absolute ruined Amazon. It takes so long to scroll through the hundreds of poorly made, no-name brand tat before you find a reputable offering for what you need. Utter dogshit.

Here's some brilliant news to brighten your Sunday - in 2023, Britain generated more electricity from renewables than from fossil fuels!
And we're unlikely to see this trend reversed.

Did you know you can set a Samsung phone's charge limit to 85% to extend its battery lifespan (especially if it's routinely left plugged in)? Search for "Protect Battery" on your phone.

Brilliant bit of advice hidden in this video from @JamesCookeVlogs
