    The hottest summer on record. 2/3rds of England in drought. Wisley hasn’t seen rain for 2 months. 38 days above 30c. Wildfires. Roads shut. 2 trains derailed in 2 days. This isn’t a ‘new normal’. Climate change means this is as good *as it gets*.

    This is such a fantastic book. Geological history can be…magnificent!

    One senior climate source told me they think Jackdaw could be approved (smaller, more gas) while the larger Rosebank site is rejected. I suspect the ‘optics’ will also be bad when we have extreme weather this Winter! Namely lots of flooding…

    Yes, it was white privilege when a fascist punched me on my street. And when I get told to ‘go back to Iran’. Presumably my auntie was also experiencing it while being bombed over the Summer. I’ve already admitted that language was unwise. What you really want is to ignore

    The pure definition of entitlement and white privilege is refusing to know when to stop. You’d earn far more respect by simply admitting that calling Arday a “conman” was a bad judgment call, rather than doubling down and embarrassing yourself further.
