What does "adapt to climate change" mean?
It's the latest excuse to do nothing, so this video explores it. It's good, which is to be expected because it's from "potholer54":

I love how this story gives a nice little 101 on hydrothermal vents. I don't think I knew there were cold ones. And guess what, they've got life. Tons of life! From the news team at @biographic.bsky.social: www.biographic.com/life-finds-a...

This famous cartoon by my friend Joel Pett tells us what we need to know while the current climate conference, COPE 30, is dominated by fossil fuel lobbyists. We have it in our power to defeat the fossil fuel oligarchs and their pet politicians. By doing so, we can create a much better world.

Another dataset confirms that last month was the warmest October on record in the #Arctic. The previous record was 2024. This is already a month with a very large increasing temperature trend (i.e., Arctic amplification). Not good.

Robbie Gibb should have been ruled out of the running for the BBC Board in 2021: it was clear he'd been closely involved in setting up GB News - an ideological project aiming to rival to the BBC, & therefore a clear conflict of interest. The fact he was still allowed to join always rang alarm bells.

PLEASE SIGN THIS IF YOU'RE SICK OF THE UK KISSING TRUMP'S A*SE. Also, what the BBC should do is apologise for its stupid mistake, & make a donation in Trump's name to a couple of charities for Survivors of Sexual Abuse & Fighting Climate Change. That would show him!
