Another place to get trolled about Climate science huh?

Man, this has been too true for too long. And beyond, "Okay, but get a heat pump" there's also "here's how to get a heat pump" and "here's a great installer."
my takeaway from climate week nyc is that "climate storytelling" is a little too much "we must reimagine our deepest souls in relationship to mother nature and the moral abyss of the polycrisis into which we must now stare" and not enough "ok but get a heat pump"

@feargalsharkey.bsky.social quoted this by Seamus Heaney tonight at the Guardian climate event and it was needed
“History says, Don't hope on this side of the grave. / But then, once in a lifetime the longed-for tidal wave of justice can rise up, / And hope and history rhyme”

Spain just released a report detailing the reasons behind the country's April blackouts. Britain's Daily Telegraph is now directly lying about the report, falsely claiming that solar power was to blame for the power cuts. The lies are being spread on social media.
UK media is so wild. It is tough to properly convey how shockingly deceptive this article is. It's desperate I guess but a lot of people will still read this, and trust it bc it's coming from what looks to be a reputable media outlet.
