I’m finding Baby’s Breath gripping.

I’ve not finished it yet (so no spoilers) but was very surprised that it was set in the US. I guess I just expected you to set your work in the UK.

If women can provide for themselves, and don't need protection, if women aren't being subjugated, then what is men’s purpose supposed to be built around?

May I suggest: Support and Uplift

EVERY SINGLE FOSSIL FUEL IS MORE EXPENSIVE IN THE TRUMP-PLEASING HIGH-FOSSIL-FUEL SCENARIO

I wish I'd had the time to read this whole report properly earlier this week: the scale of this rake-step / self-own is absolutely incredible

THANKYOU donald trump for pushing the IEA to include all of this

Just buried in a paragraph and not highlight with a visual or anything: total global energy emissions WOULD BE 7% HIGHER if we had chosen to sit around and do nothing about this shit

OUR ACTIONS MAY BE INSUFFICIENT BUT THEY ARE NOT FRUITLESS

THERE ARE 2600000000000000 GRAMS OF FRUIT EVERY YEAR

Again: there is no spinning, re-framing or masking the fact that data centre growth is now a major a factor among all the major factors driving demand growth.

The fact that data centres are going to spur more new demand than the entire heating needs of the human species is NOT GREAT

YOUR DAILY REMINDER: it is extreme weather, intensified by fossil fuels, that pose the greatest threat to grid security and causes the most blackouts.

The blatantly false idea that renewables cause blackouts is *itself* likely to cause more blackouts, by encouraging more fossil fuel use

This is even better: household electricity bills are lowest in the net zero scenario, basically everywhere.

Of course they are: buying fossil fuels and burning them is obscenely expensive and unreliable and requires constant, expensive support

Wow - this is a good one. In most regions, power grid system costs are the worst in the fossil-fuel-explosion scenario - in Europe and China, it's cheapest in the 'net zero' scenario

> grid costs are way lower than costs saved on fuel purchasing!!

The CPS scenario's absurd oil demand forecast assumes nearly no reductions in demand from EVs out to 2035.....come on now

Or in American shows it’s a sign that they’re a deadbeat and can’t get their life together.
