I am a Techopian. That means I believe technology is accelerating and is set to transform the world. Whether the result is akin to utopia or dystopia depends.

@JayW132 Breaking news. The summer of 2026 isn’t over yet.
But so far it has seen all time high temperature for May and June,
I believe that globally, the ten years with the highest average temperatures ever recorded occurred this century. Now >1.5 above pre-industrial average

[Michael Baxter @michaelbaxter_]

@Essex_Patriot So in uk, both May and June 2026 saw highest temperature ever for the month.
I remember summer 1976, it was hot. I also remember summer holidays year after year having awful weather. The last 10. year period has been unique in my life tine. The only scam is climate change denial

@TC_Survivalist @Steven_Swinford Fact check before commenting

@fatbeardymark @TC_Survivalist @Steven_Swinford Natural England South West Regional Director David Slater said:

“The notion that Natural England is advocating a cull is simply untrue. Dartmoor's unique habitats are in a poor state and grazing by ponies is vital for their recovery.”

@fatbeardymark @TC_Survivalist @Steven_Swinford Thank you for posting this. It’s sad to see how far you have tonwcripp before you finally find a post showing the whole story is false. Platforms such as this should be moderated and posts which tell outright lies should either be taken down or come with a warning

@wattsupwiththat Wind, solar and batteries represent the best piece of technology related news of my life time. Solar and batteries follow exponential curves. Climate change is real, worse case is an existential threat to humanity — renewables make this less likely, why aren’t you celebrating?

@FD2you @MatthewWielicki ‘I’m not an expert but I am posting all the same.’ Kind of illustrates one of the biggest problems today.

@WordoftheWings @BrainLogicOnly @elonmusk You lost me five star hotels. The most basic of critical thinking illustrates why the five star hotels is at best misleading at worst a downright lie. Anyone who cites this, tells us more about their critical thinking skills than anything else.

[Michael Baxter @michaelbaxter_]

@TomK_Brit1993 Your tweet tells us more about you than anything else — anyone who thinks Starmer whips up hatred whilst poor little Elon and Farage are innocent is so far from reality it scares me.

@cicero6666 @MichaelAArouet Zero understanding of the arguments shown here, you have swallowed fossil fuel industry propaganda.

[Michael Baxter @michaelbaxter_]

@MichaelAArouet @EnergyMix_UK Anyone who uses what I call the China argument has zero credibility. The reason why it is a stupid argument are reasons a child can comprehend. But to cap it all, according to Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air China’s C02 emissions peaked in 2024.

@BROKENBRITAIN0 The UN was forged in the blood of two world wars and represents the single biggest hope for humanity. If you think its demise is a good thing, not only are you spitting at the memory of all those who gave their lives fighting tyranny, you are most certainly part of the problem.

[Michael Baxter @michaelbaxter_]

@_Unknown_D_ @SkyNews If it is a legacy of the Labour government why is this a global problem? Why is the UK rate below the OECD average and why is youth unemployment higher in China?

[Michael Baxter @michaelbaxter_]

@ReformFarage @SkyNews WWII? It is my belief she caused WWI, and pretty sure she was to blame for Harold losing that battle in 1066.

[Michael Baxter @michaelbaxter_]

@ArchRose90 What’s hilarious is that you read The Daily Mail

[Michael Baxter @michaelbaxter_]

@7Kiwi But he isn’t. Wind and solar are like disruptive technology. Read a few reports from Ember to understand what’s going on. It’s the future. Countries that embrace it embrace the future. Those that cling to fossil fuels are like blockbusters.

[Michael Baxter @michaelbaxter_]

@KatyKray73 Just asked Claude the same question. Or at least I asked; “In terms of environmental damage how do lithium ion batteries compare with coal when considering life time storage of batteries with the equivalent from coal?” Try it yourself

[Michael Baxter @michaelbaxter_]

@havingagiraf @ByrneAvis @HHepplewhite Haha.

[Michael Baxter @michaelbaxter_]

@ByrneAvis @havingagiraf @HHepplewhite This is called projection. Accuse rivals of the very things that apply to you, it is a classic tactic.

[Michael Baxter @michaelbaxter_]

@TriggeredRodney @havingagiraf @Fasgadh27 Congratulations. So far your post is the most ridiculous in this thread.
