Here we go. Just an entirely pointless thing to investigate, literally meaningless, and will only be used by bad-faith actors to attack the COP process and climate action in general www.eurekalert.org/news-release...
COP webpages emit seven times more carbon than average sites
Websites produced for COP conferences emit up to 10 times more carbon than average internet pages, new research suggests.

Woah nice send. I would guess that you climb harder than me. Your style is definitely better! What is the route?

It's still a minority sport. And this is only legal sales. If you did vinyl as a % of all consumption, legal and illegal, it would be very small. The BBC market share of broadcast derives from habits formed when I was a kid in the 70s, and before. It's falling because of choice and technology.

It would be nice to stave off polarization, but unless we are prepared to have much more invasive regulation of private media and ban foreign media, we are at the mercy of what is out there.

The BBC must reassert its independence and learn to resist political interference and stand up for robust scrutiny and news values.

The Culture Sec Lisa Nandy must also resist Trumpian pressure in appointing the new DG. It's messy and the Beeb is in trouble, but we should fight for its future.
