This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Totally right Liz! The BBC has utterly unreported the genocide in Gaza, and constantly throws trans people under the bus for no reason.

The BBC's senior leadership resigning en masse over one dodgy edit in one programme, simply because the right wing press demands it, tells you everything you need to know about where the power really lies in that relationship

Part of me thinks I should watch Panorama and the original speech so I can draw my own conclusions... but also, I really couldn't care less and I'd probably find the BBC has done way worse in the past

Can't believe Panorama edited a 71 minute speech to fit into a 60 minute program.

I'd hate SNP to win this only because I know the candidate and he's dumb and annoying
Whitburn and Blackburn's repeat ballot is the six current major parties in Scotland, plus a pair of Independents. Still think this one's a tossup but Reform are starting from an already very good place: if they really build on that, it'll massively damage Labour.

Congrats on the US for taking bold climate action
The FAA is cutting 10% of air traffic at 40 of the nation's busiest airports, canceling hundreds of flights and creating uncertainty for many more passengers. Here's what to do if you're one of them.
Traveling soon? What the FAA's flight reductions could mean for you
