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 

yeah very noticeable in the Garden .... ive only had one a few years but even during this amount of time things have changed fro what ive seen .... we are so unprepared , if people think migration is an issue now( I don't )  then they haven't seen anything yet

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

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
