If China's emissions had kept growing at previous levels emissions would like, what, maybe a full GIGATONNE higher....the area of avoided emissions here is like deleting the emissions of entire countries. This is happening at a scale that will very clearly have an effect in lessening disasters

By the time Starmer is replaced this summer, we'll have had two wasted years, in which a country crying out for transformation instead got more of the same, or even worse where environmental legislation is concerned, and a high possibility of Farage running the next government.
Thanks Keir.

The CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions!
This sucks. It was public domain, so I recovered the 2020 edition (the last one published as a zip file) and shared it to GitHub […]

“BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly terrified that so many foreign governments have just opened investigations into the Epstein sex trafficking ring, and their prosecutors won't censor all the names of the criminals involved like Pam Bondi did.”
Comment from Kokorik Kwap Koyik [This instance of KKK is not a US American racist hate group dog whistle; the account is Greek]:
“The idea that foreign prosecutors might release unredacted names shifts the Epstein story from a domestic controversy to an international accountability moment. It reframes the narrative around transparency, jurisdiction, and who controls the flow of information.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:olfooa2beovvx7kg2gvr4d5o/bafkreiev7h4g5cgqgwxjqwzy5q52cx4zfasggsjxuoqxsdsvjo367yxbfi@jpeg)

By appeasing the far right, you do not weaken it. You strengthen it.
While weakening your own position.
There's a vast amount of academic research showing this.

Both were discovered by women.
Jocelyn Bell discovered neutron stars, in the guise of “pulsars”, in 1967.
Since then, three Nobel prizes have gone to male scientists for their work on pulsars, but none to Bell.
