Climate Change

Agree. Just reading about this project - apparently has the capacity to power upto 17% of uk homes. Each turbine is 355m with the first 50 or so meters underwater. Absolute beasts!

 

The rspb says it’ll kill a few hundred birds a year, I’m not sure what that means regards the total population in that area, but seems like a small price to pay in the broader context tbh. And like, the UK coastline is pretty big. I’m fairly sure that kittiwakes and puffins will persist in other locations.

Everything has been early this year as far as nature is concerned

Another thing with this Polanski leadership win..there seems to be less emphasis on actual green things and climate change. Labour never talking about climate change when talking about their net zero policies, it's all energy security and savings and growth. Tories are in process of becoming climate sceptic and ditching net zero, Reform who are leading the polls already are. Do Lib Dems ever talk about it? Does anyone? There aren't any Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil protests anymore. Greta Thunberg is all about Gaza these days. Is it all over?

From what I hear from people in the UK O&G business it's basically about whether to wring the last thimblefull out of the North Sea, or two. And thus just political posturing.

 

Witness the recent news about the discovery of 134million barrels by Norwegian Aker- a company designed to go after the small/less economical to recover stuff as all the big names withdraw from the North Sea-  damningly touted as 'the biggest discovery in a decade'. By my reckoning 134mb is a just a few months worth at the UK's current (much reduced) production levels.

 

It's just wasting time over the inevitable pivot away from reliance on the North Sea that's baked in

    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
