@goodclimate Any idea why Brussels loves these 'canopies' so much lately? Can't help but feel it will be unloved and dilapidated within a few years.

@WallySierk Genuinely curious what the source/method was.

@UK_LCC @ggreenwald well, they're hardly going to offer major concessions in public ahead of a negotiation. that's not serious either. Is there plenty of hypocrisy to go around, yes. What else is new. But to somehow say that it is NATO/US/Ukraine that is not being diplomatic here is dishonest.

@billmaher @RealTimers Sanctimonious old man bill is the worst bill.

@labradorrose I personally find it hard to switch between "meeting mode" and "concentrating on work" mode, so maybe that's it?

@agent_of_change Isn’t this a win-win?

@MaxKennerly 50% of emissions have taken place since 1990. This makes no sense. The architects of the Paris agreement are boomers. Let’s focus on the real villains, and not name call to feel better.

@ItCentrist @dgardner Not really true. DK uses domestic biomass, coal and natural gas mainly. Don’t think it undermines the point being made.

@DaveKeating I don't doubt that they are spinning conflict with/within the EU, but I hardly think it is surprising (even if disappointing) that they don't report on smooth roll outs in other countries. This kind of "bad news bias" is a fundamental problem with structure of modern media.

[Thor Stainforth @thorbxl]

@DaveKeating I take the point, but isn't this a much broader media problem of bias toward conflict and exciting narratives? Rarely do efficiently, competently run processes get lots of coverage.

@NateSilver538 the confidence of forecasts are normally inversely related to their actual reliability...

@David_K_Clark @EUPussycat And canada? Or it doesn’t count? I think now racing ahead of pretty much everyone, no?

@colvilleandersn Brussels has been doing this since January of this year…

[Thor Stainforth @thorbxl]

@eupolitics is there really not a single country in the world whose largest trade partner is not one of these three, or is that just not shown?

@EcoSenseNow can't it be both?🤔
