"I do not want people to panic at this stage"
Prof Van-Tam says Omicron is likely to impact vaccine effectiveness
But biggest effect is likely to be in preventing infections – "hopefully" there will be small impact on preventing severe disease https://t.co/nRYLOsJ7lg
We are filing a legal petition to the UN secretary-general urging him to declare the climate crisis a global level 3 emergency – the UN’s highest category.

iFixit and our Right to Repair allies have long fought to make it so no repair is illegal under copyright law. On Wednesday, we racked up an important, if limited, victory: The Librarian of Congress ruled broadly in favor of repair: https://t.co/v1h9Tcs263
#Budget2021 is horrifyingly un-green.
Nowhere near the required investment in public transport and halving of tax on domestic flights 🤯
This budget looks to the past, not the future. Embarassing ahead of #COP26
My chat with @NickFerrariLBC on @LBC this morning 👇
“We need to remind ourselves that we can still turn this around. It’s entirely possible if we are prepared to change. Hope is all around us.”
I wrote a text about what it will take for the #COP26 to be successful.

Really! We have a short-term gas price issue, rising energy prices & a very urgent need to decarbonise. And @KwasiKwarteng's answer: to introduce a costly nuclear tax on all UK electricity billpayers to fund EDF Sizewell C's build over the next 12-15yrs https://t.co/5HJrKuexCQ
Anyone unwisely thinking nuclear (small or other) is a solution to climate change emergency should google “uranium mining” & “nuclear waste”!
Money spent on nuclear buys less solution than #EnergyEfficiency & #Renewables & #GridResilience so #NoNewNuclear https://t.co/OH5RiG6GYC

"In July, wildfires emitted nearly 1.3 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide, a record that was topped by August’s 1.4 gigatons. Between the two months, forest fires emitted an amount of carbon dioxide greater than all of India’s carbon emissions in a year."

Rather than bail out privatised energy, instead nationalise UK energy.
Put energy in the hands of the UK, run in the interests of its communities, and stabilise/secure the critical sector.

"It's absolutely fantastic to see such huge numbers here today We're coming to the end of the planning inquiry. @KwasiKwarteng is due to give a decision by next Spring, but the big question is who's going to pay for Sizewell C"

AND we don't need it. Ignore all the guff about baseload and keeping the lights on people, Sizewell B spent most of August switched off and no-one noticed.
pre-empting everyone by saying:
1) yes, she is an immigrant and that is very cool
2) no, immigrants shouldn't have to become tennis champions to deserve respect
3) but also, people who are pointing out she's an immigrant are not suggesting they need to be
iFixit Pro Tip: Rice is for dinner, not repair!
Contrary to popular belief, putting a water-damaged phone in rice won't fix it: https://t.co/cR5jE7TRkO

We now understand we have to think ventilation, ventilation, ventilation.
And anything that reduces that is likely to be counterproductive
