https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/may/19/uk-rail-faces-fight-to-stay-on-track-as-climate-crisis-erodes-routes

Some of the changes that we are beginning to experience are not simply rising sea levels or more extreme weather. It doesn’t look good and mitigation will be expensive.

Lunacy from the Cato Institute

https://www.cato.org/publications/superabundance-free-exchange

I read it so you don't have to….

'Humans, especially those living in the countries on the frontier of innovation, create knowledge that allows us to grow our resources well in excess of the resources that we consume.’

It is laughable, but expect the ‘arguments' to be repeated by right wing politicians everywhere.

There's seriously no way to get a badly melted Mars bar out of the wrapper without looking like a ravenous caveman eating his first meal in days.

The poll by Savanta found 49 per cent thought the legislation should be repealed, while 36 per cent said it should remain law and 15 per cent did not know.

The research showed a generational and gender divide over the issue, with older people and men more likely to want the law scrapped.

Two thrilling walks over the weekend. First was over Hart Fell near #Moffat and along the narrowest ridge line I’ve followed. Yesterday was Grey Mare’s Tail, then around the horseshoe above it.

Fun fact: Grey Mare’s Tail is so called because the drive from Edinburgh is an absolute ‘mare.

The dramatic landforms near Hart Fell. Partly cloudy but bright.

'In his first newspaper interview since leaving the cabinet, the former chancellor says the ex-PM was the ‘most consequential leader since Thatcher’ — and reveals his own biggest mistake in the tax scandal that led to his sacking’

They just don't get it do they? Worth a read to get confirmation of the bat shit stupidity, arrogance and greed that drive them.

"Political cartoons published in national newspapers depict pro-#ScottishIndependence politicians being beheaded or hanged.

"The UK Government proudly refuses to fund artists who don’t support the Union.

"And, now, the Prime Minister himself feels it is appropriate to mention “Scottish nationalists” in a speech on extremist threats facing the UK."
