Not sure when we invited @BillGates for a serious interview on climate change he knew he was going to be doing a TikTok with me 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Esme Stallard @EsmeStallard]

Hectic first day at #cop28 already. What’s happened?

- countries agreed to get the loss and damage fund going
- many nations came forward with money for it
- uae $100m, uk £60m and US…$17.5m. Green groups have called that last one “disappointing”
(And yes I’m short)

Wow, this study is devastating for cynicism.

Here's a TL;DR:

In studies 1–3, participants indicated they thought cynics would do better on cognitive tasks.
In studies 4–5, cynics were tested and 1 SD of cynicism was associated with 0.25 and 0.17 SDs lower cognitive ability in studies 4 and 5, respectively.
In study 6, cynics were found to be

- less educated in 29/30 countries
- less literate in 28/30 countries
- less numerate in 29/30 countries
- less computer-literate in 23/26 countries
Cynicism is simply not smart.

🚨 Paper alert! 🚨
We present the first study that constrains Earth structure with Love wave amplification measurements. We focus on the crust in the western US, resulting in a new model, SWUS-crust. Check it out below ⬇️

Legendary broadcaster Sir Michael Parkinson has died at the age of 88.

Of the many incredible guests he interviewed over the years, he said boxer Muhammad Ali was his favourite.

Here's a clip from one of those memorable interviews from our @BBCArchive

Does the UK need more North Sea oil and gas extraction?

@C4Ciaran digs deeper into Rishi Sunak’s decision to grant new North Sea oil and gas licences.

NEW: don’t let the ULEZ chatter mislead you.

The British public is much more supportive and united on Net Zero policies than the public in peer countries, with Conservative voters frequently as green as the centre-left elsewhere https://t.co/AdOr9I1Rtg
