I agree with Steve. Brexit fanatics are starting to lash out because the British people now feel tricked by them. They are the reason for higher taxes instead of 350 millions for the NHS. I am waiting for the day when those responsible for these lies will be held to account.

Before you ask - this is completely illegal under international law and should give the IMO pause for thoughts. Perhaps it is time for the UK government to investigate these direct interferences with international decision-making in their soil. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/c...

Just in time for @cop30brazil.bsky.social the @consilium.europa.eu agrees on the EU's 2040 target of 90% GHG reduction but unfortunately weakens its resolve by emphasising 'flexibility'. Cannot wait to see new EU NDC and evaluate if it aligns with 2023 GST?

Could #AI speed up the scientific process?

That's the idea behind Denario, an AI-powered 'scientific assistant' co-developed by researchers at @cambridgephysics.bsky.social @simonsfoundation.org
