All the worst things centrists warned would happen under Bernie Sanders and Jeremy Corbyn are now happening under Donald Trump and Keir Starmer.

Now the preprint got published that on a global mean aerosols are not declining which makes it mainly a cloud feedback that drives the growing energy imbalance of Earth and acceleration of warming
This makes it two studies with the same finding in terms of global aerosol trends

Negligible contribution from aerosols to recent trends in Earth’s energy imbalance
Contrasting aerosol trends between hemispheres cancel out, resulting in minimal impact on Earth’s energy imbalance.

This is especially prevalent in my #CrossChannelRail work, but applies to plenty of other rail topics as well: for a large part of my audience I am too pragmatic, for the others too radical. But there's method in my position in between.

I don't dislike dogs to be clear. But I really really dislike how many dog owners allow their dogs to foul the streets and to yap at people and scare kids and still expect everyone to think their precious little pooch is such a good dog 14/10 whatever

Over here, there are early signs that the process of populist radicalisation (and ever greater stupidity) is becoming too much for some of them and lines are being drawn.

If you reframed this as “values”, people might find it harder to pretend it’s a problem. If someone has fundamentally different values to yours, you might be less inclined to form a relationship with them. It goes beyond preference.
