@Betgolfworld @SenseiChanning It’s hilarious really. The Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya has an annual budget of £100k:

Are we going to get Musk’s assessment of every scorecard measure? Does he have any views on the uprating of the Soft Drinks Industry Levy?

Sunny spells this afternoon, although the Levanter cloud likely lingering for a time keeping parts of the City shrouded in cloud. A moderate to fresh easterly wind, strong gusts possible in places. Cloudy and breezy with the odd light shower possible overnight lows of 18 Celsius.

Saddened beyond belief by the sudden passing of our boss Ian Shipsey. Ian was remarkable, in his science & as a passionate unselfish force for good, who made a huge contribution to ⁦@OxfordPhysics⁩ ⁦@VRubinObs⁩ & much else. https://t.co/UZ3tS6e7uc

🦁 See how national demand for electricity fluctuated during last night’s Netherlands vs England game at #EURO2024 ⚽ We experienced demand increase by 1GW due to the TV pick up effect as the nation grabbed their half time refreshments. 📈 As the second half kicked off demand for electricity fell until the full time whistle caused a 740MW increase in demand.

Election tomorrow.

FIND YOUR PHOTO ID.

PUT IT IN YOUR POCKET OR BAG.

The address DOESN'T need to match your constituency or current address. This is just to prove your ID.

Passport, driving license, PASS card or Voter Certificate, or this stuff:

(How) can we show the skill of constraining future projections?

Model-as-truth tests have been used in the past but only for individual methods.

We develop an extensive & consistent testing framework and apply it to five (!) constraining methods.

Cathy Newman on @Channel4News
allowing several speakers, inc Ed Miliband, to talk about onshore wind farms and how “cheap” it is without once mentioning how totally unreliable wind is, how heavily subsidised, how likely to result in blackouts.
UK should be building nuclear and gas at pace. Not relying on green pipedreams and committing national suicide.
Madness.

Can confirm this is a big deal when recruiting. We’re missing out on great people.

For the Gulf Stream to “collapse” the westerlies would need to stop blowing and the Earth would need to stop spinning… (I know they are conflating it with the overturning circulation but still, can we just not?!)

[Damian Carrington @dpcarrington]

Gulf stream system could collapse as early as 2025, study suggests

- An Atlantic shutdown would bring catastrophic climate impacts, but scientists disagree over the new analysis

@ed_hawkins @BBCNews I definitely agree there is value in examining these events globally/regionally and comparing with modelling studies. However, for individual events there are many issues with probabilistic attribution methods - and I don’t agree these are necessary to make strong statements.
