Pretty remarkable how high Australia sits on the scale for lifestyle carbon emissions globally - and how little this gets mentioned in domestic climate discourse.

The UK Government has released its response to the House of Lords’ Media Literacy report. The Lords warned that poor media literacy threatens democracy itself. The government agrees, but its plan focuses on coordination more than transformation.

I've attended many motor vehicle accidents. Last NOV we got paged to a car which had hit a tree at high speed. Completely on fire, incl the battery pack & internal combustion engine.
There is a lot of anti renewables hype out there. Most of it is fear mongering crap. We know how to deal with this.

People who oppose renewables love to talk up the perceived fire risks of wind turbines, batteries & electric/ hybrid vehicles.
The fact is that the risk of fire is actually very low & can be managed by responders.

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

A term for someone with an overinflated sense of their own importance in Argentinian slang is Tarzan de maceta. It means “Tarzan of the flowerpot.”
