@HillF1@bluesky The F1 is cool over there. It's refreshing, building nicely, and a really pleasant experience.
Those uncomfortable with Bluesky, what with its respectful vibe, tend to call it an 'echo chamber'. Don't listen. It's just a great place to engage, and trolls get short thrift.
It's time to move away, and Blue Sky seems the best place, so I'm parking myself there from now on.
If you're migrating as well, it would be great to see you.
This is me ⬇️💚💚💚

..and we shall never be prepared until it's taken seriously. By the time there's a shift from denial it will likely be too late to do anything about it. People need to wake up, look up, and realise what's happening now.
@JohnLewisEU At 10pm Donald will declare victory.
By 2am Donald will be throwing ketchup at the walls.
By 4am Donald will declare the election 'rigged'.
By 6am Donald will be travelling to his aeroplane.
WOW! Major news: Donald Trump is on the brink of his seventh bankruptcy! With a staggering $1.8B in debt and only around $400 million in cash, it's crystal clear why he and Elon Musk are so desperate for the White House.
"What does Elmo get out of it? Blank taxpayers' welfare checks and tax cuts, while Donald Trump secures financial backing. In simple terms, it’s a classic case of autocracy: the rich get richer, and the rest are left picking up the tab!
Power isn't just a game; it's a lifeline! Stay alert! MAGA MONEY IS LOW!
Just watched Dispatches. The greedy bastards even charge the RNLI for their slipways. FFS! The charity that saves lives at sea were part of the Royal family’s income stream.
1/If this country collapses, it will be because of cognitive dissonance and our refusal to believe what we don’t wish to believe. Putin is using Musk to attempt a strategic takeover of the United States, in partnership with China. They will default on US debt and…
It's true. Media on climate are shite - I've seen 'Valencia floods caused by inadequate alert systems'.
There is also this one: 'the worse floods in 30 years'. This statement means NOTHING if you don't tell us what happened 30 years ago. Context matters.
What happened in Valencia is not going to wake us up, is it. Scientists say it was powered by climate change. Radio presenters and commentators are ignoring that and lying to themselves that it's just a random event. Like the recent flooding in France, the insane flooding in Poland a month ago, the devastation of North Carolina a few weeks back, the record hot summer globally, the record hot year globally etc. We simply refuse to even seriously face climate change let alone act.
Incredible stat:
A single container ship of solar panels can provide as much electricity as more than 50 large LNG tankers of gas – or 100 large coal ships
There's many more insights in IEA Energy Technology Perspectives 2024 – here's a selection 🧵

Remember:
* emissions should peak before
2020 to avoid 2°C
2025 to avoid 2.5°C
2030 to avoid 3°C
* 2°C leads to self-warming up to 2.5°C
* 2.5°C means more warming to 3°C
* 3°C may mean human extinction
* emissions haven't peaked yet
None of this is front page news. 🧵
