This certainly looks like war crimes are being committed by The State of Israel again and again in Lebanon. Ambulances and Medical teams must not be targets! We must all shout this. Our governments need to tell them. Our courts need to prosecute them.

Israel is systematically targeting centers for ambulances. According to the ministry of health, at least 52 ambulances and medical vehicles have been hit, 19 medical and ambulatory centers damaged, and emergency services targeted in 79 separate attacks.

This implies a baked in sea level rise of at least 7 meters and 10 or 11 meters being more likely.
It also implies +3.0°C of global warming inside 25 years.
We have lost control. We need to slam on the fossil fuel brakes, now, or risk huge loss of life and wealth.
English
An increase in CO2 of 1.21 % in a year implies a doubling time of 58 years. It would mean we pass 560ppm, double pre industrial levels of 280ppm by 2049.
It's a horrific thought.

The UKs first 100% renewables day isn’t far away.
When the sun shines and the wind blows, the world is a better place.
91.3% renewables.
6.8% dinosaurs.
That’s the grid, right now.
“But what happens when the wind isn’t blowing?”
I see that sentence FAR too often.
It’s pretty simple, we use a mix of what’s needed, gas, nuclear, imports, sun, wind, storage.
That’s how grids have always worked.
The difference now is we’re adding more wind every year, so even lighter wind still generates meaningful power.
Solar capacity keeps growing, so even cloudy days produce energy.
Batteries and interconnectors are scaling, smoothing out the gaps
So it’s not “all or nothing.”
It’s a system that’s getting stronger, more flexible, and less reliant on fossil fuels over time.

There goes 4% of the worlds Aluminium production. In terms of Premium Aluminium much more.
How do we get the USA and Israel to stop bombing Iran and negotiate a peace?

💢 NEW: Iranian strikes damage one of world’s largest aluminum hubs in UAE Emirates Global Aluminium said its Al Taweelah site at Khalifa Economic Zone Abu Dhabi (KEZAD) sustained “significant damage” in Iranian missile and drone attacks, with interceptions sparking fires and multiple workers injured, though none critically. The site is a cornerstone of both the UAE economy and global supply chains. It produced 1.6 million tonnes of aluminum in 2025, and EGA accounts for roughly 4% of global production. The strike follows Israeli attacks that caused extensive damage to two of Iran’s largest steel plants, as well as power and nuclear infrastructure. Iranian officials had warned of retaliation and urged U.S. and Israel-linked industrial facilities in the region to evacuate. Al Taweelah is among the largest single-site smelters in the world and a key supplier of high-purity “premium aluminum” used in aerospace, automotive, and advanced manufacturing. Aluminum is the UAE’s largest export after oil and gas, reaching customers in over 50 countries, with the sector supporting around 60,000 jobs. The facility also anchors the country’s push into advanced manufacturing, recycling, and low-carbon “green aluminum.” Damage assessments are ongoing. (Source: Bloomberg, Reuters, official statement)

@Red_Pill_US Tucker is so convincing. You need however to look at his history here and if any new information has emerged. I've waited, it hasn't. Now I'm not so sure.

Tucker Carlson claims, "The Israeli government, and Netanyahu himself, tried to punish two members of my family."
"I felt very threatened by that."
Is there any reason not to believe Tucker?

@YouAreWrongOk @wintonARK So why do I so often hear "never mind the quality, feel the width" or some variant?
I am relaxed our progeny appears to be so literate and productive. Now we just need maximally truthful to be baked in, because people seem to be rather poor at that‽

@energygovuk Nice. The wind power over deep water around our coasts is considerable and untapped. Another valuable step to the end of fossil fuels powering our grid. #LeaveItInTheGround

@PCOwen_a @Paul_Briley @energygovuk 'A' national strategy for PV is to have sufficient for all day time loads. This means either you curtail it when the demand isn't there, give it away or store it at those times. The more you store the less PV over capacity you need.
Many points of balance are possible.
English
@Paul_Briley @DavidRoweWTL @energygovuk Because the load peaks mid afternoon at the hottest time of day driven by airconditioning. The supply peaks at midday. There is excess supply on the grid to meet midafternoon load so too much is produced at midday. At midnight there is no solar.
English
Sometimes there is too much wind for our outdated grid to handle, especially in Scotland and the East of England.
Rather than paying wind farms to switch off we’re trialling a new system where people who live near these constrained areas get cheaper - or even free - electricity.

@drjenirwin Take home message, you really want to try and avoid Covid and thus help avoid long covid. Don't wait another decade plus for this to trickle down to your practice.

Science takes ~17 years to reach clinical practice.
The science in 2026 is clear: we don’t have another decade to wait on SARS-CoV-2.
If you’re doing what you can to avoid (re)infection, your behaviour is 100% aligned with best current available evidence.

Trump, the world's greatest negotiator, promises Armageddon on Iran's oil infrastructure, then days later backs down, then a few days later postpones it again for 10 more days. Apparently Iran are afraid to commit. Has he no self awareness at all‽

The glaring contradiction of 21st-century fascism is its betrayal of our children and nation’s future through a pathological obsession with the short term.
Climate change and its horrors is clearly here. We must act on this, or suffer.

@PCOwen_a @Electroversenet Nope, you are just being argumentative because you don't like the conclusion.
The proof is that other countries who took a more measured approach did not and don't have this issue.
The UK can run fine, with only sustainable sources. It will get longer.

Europe's official grid authority has released its report on the nationwide blackout that hit Spain last year. And while the report treads carefully politically, its data make the cause clear.
Wind and solar triggered the collapse.
Within the first 80 seconds, Spain lost 2.5 GW of generation, around 10% of its national supply, with every MW of that early loss coming from renewables.
Gas and hydro remained stable until the cascade was already underway.
The report calls it an unprecedented speed of blackout. This was a textbook inverter chain failure, with renewables dropping so fast that the grid's stabilizers never had time to react.
By midday, Spain's grid had virtually no inertia, nothing spinning fast enough to hold frequency steady.
But to admit that outright would mean questioning Europe's green transition itself, something the report appears unable to do. So the event is officially described as "a rare local disturbance," rather than what it actually was...
A systemic failure of weather-dependent power.
English
@Electroversenet @PCOwen_a No it didn't say renewables were the cause. They were the victims of bad decisions leaving the grid exposed to collapse.
FAFO taught them a lesson. Build enough interconnectors, grid forming, inertia, baseload capacity cover. As they were warned.
