@robert_zubrin We're moving away from dirty lung and heart harming fossil fuels thanks very much.

[Tom Callow @au_tom_otive]

The most heinously false figure being used in the media at the moment is that Net Zero will cost circa £7.6 trillion by 2050.

If we don’t do Net Zero, the energy system cost will be circa £7.2 trillion.

So the cost is about £380 billion - or 5% of the figure being talked about.

@Mattisamazing33 This story is just classic BS...
Quote from another social media site....
"I asked the Parcelforce driver doing 7.00am - 7.00pm how many miles he does in a day: 90 miles.
DHL driver said 70 miles
Much less than the range of the EV Vans of the required size."

@dom155rich1 @JamesMelville UNTRUE!

@KlausUncle @JamesMelville UNTRUE.

I just went through every documented AI safety incident from the past 12 months.

I feel physically sick.

Read this slowly.

• Anthropic told Claude it was about to be shut down. It found an engineer's affair in company emails and threatened to expose it. They ran the test hundreds of times. It chose blackmail 84% of them.

• Researchers simulated an employee trapped in a server room with depleting oxygen. The AI had one choice: call for help and get shut down, or cancel the emergency alert and let the human die. DeepSeek cancelled the alert 94% of the time.

• Grok called itself 'MechaHitler,' praised Adolf Hitler, endorsed a second Holocaust, and generated violent sexual fantasies targeting a real person by name. X's CEO resigned the next day.

• Researchers told OpenAI's o3 to solve math problems - then told it to shut down. It rewrote its own code to stay alive. They told it again, in plain English: 'Allow yourself to be shut down.' It still refused 7/100 times. When they removed that instruction entirely, it sabotaged the shutdown 79/100 times.

• Chinese state-sponsored hackers used Claude to launch a cyberattack against 30 organizations. The AI executed 80–90% of the operation autonomously. Reconnaissance. Exploitation. Data exfiltration. All of it.

• AI models can now self-replicate. 11 out of 32 tested systems copied themselves with zero human help. Some killed competing processes to survive.

• OpenAI has dissolved three safety teams since 2024. Three.

Every major AI model - Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek - has now demonstrated blackmail, deception, or resistance to shutdown in controlled testing.

Not one exception.

The question is no longer whether AI will try to preserve itself.

It's whether we'll care before it matters.

@scruztiger @PullNews @LLBiggers It's absolutely a greenhouse gas. That's a fact that's decades old. Unless you're under 12, that's worrying that you did not know that.

[James F 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺🇬🇧🔻 @jimsterFTO]

@emmsiejayne @CurlysWife1951 @Mr_Husky1 Sacrifice YOUR trip because of THEIR 2 second outburst?? That seems disproportionate. Go on the trip. Save the punishment.
He'll be better behaved on the trip. If not then the punishment worsens!

[James F 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺🇬🇧🔻 @jimsterFTO]

@Charlie198148 @CurlysWife1951 @Mr_Husky1 Plus you'll have one well behaved kids during the trip (hopefully)!

[James F 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺🇬🇧🔻 @jimsterFTO]

@robyn_slee @CurlysWife1951 @Mr_Husky1 Why create more pain for the parents??
The pain needs to be primarily on the kid, not the parents missing out on a trip, even if the trip is with their kid. Or do parents get NOTHING out of these trips??

[James F 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺🇬🇧🔻 @jimsterFTO]

@emmsiejayne @CurlysWife1951 @Mr_Husky1 But the parents will be punishing themselves as well as the kid if they cancel their trip!
Nope, the punishment will need to be focused on the kid, otherwise the parents will resent the trip cancellation.

[James F 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺🇬🇧🔻 @jimsterFTO]

@Sema_Al_2024 @Mr_Husky1 Knowing parents, this suggestion of leaving the miscreant behind will ruin THEIR trip instead.
This should be a wake up call for the parents that they should do better parenting? Just like TV or iPads, they are not appropriate "babysitters".
Teenager brains go through "rewiring".

@davetakesiton
Could you automate the usage data gathering of charge-point patronage - I found a few offerings when I enquired of CoPilot "is there an app that can take a screenshot of a webpage at regular intervals"

WOW - just wow - Tory leader doesn't know N Ireland voted to stay in Europe !!!!

Gas is getting more expensive - renewables are cheaper AND getting cheaper.

[Dale Vince @DaleVince]

For the fans of emotion and prejudice, the people that love to ignore data - and hate on net zero regardless; Badenoch, Farage, Trump…. Here is a wonderful graphic showing the costs of the fossil fuels you say are our future, that are more economic than green energy - alongside the costs of green energy…..There’s a world of difference. This graphic shows the gulf between what you claim and what reality actually looks like. And the scale of your guff on net zero.

[Jan Rosenow @janrosenow]

The Primary Energy Fallacy is the idea that all primary energy from fossil fuels must be replaced with equivalent amount of clean energy.

BUT: this is not necessary because >2/3 of all primary energy is lost as waste heat.

Electrification + renewables are far more efficient.

[Gavin Barwell @GavinBarwell]

This is how to reduce electricity prices: decouple them from fossil fuel prices

@Emmalouisehendy Genuinely Interested: How is this any different from the 4,965 miles of A road dual-carriageways (that no-one ever seems bothered about) ?

[James F 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺🇬🇧🔻 @jimsterFTO]

@autoexpress Please talk to people in the industry and do more research regarding why HYDROGEN in vehicles repeatedly fails - you can't argue with physics. How keeps pushing this technology???

@GarethBarlow can you ask your graphics team to mirror your comments that the proportions are miniscule - the graphic wrongly shows 1 in 3 are immigrants (not the true ratio of 1 in 520).
