Amid all the acrimony in the world, Puffins returned to the cliffs near where I live yesterday evening.

@loom A few days ago my loom account stopped working. My subscription is up to date. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Chrome extension. I have changed my password. I have no access to customer support because I am unable to log in.

This should be democratically so obvious but sadly decades of kumbaya liberal corruption have turned it into a revelation of profound consequence, ignored at our continued peril.

Democracy works when there is a shared sense of national identity, and each voter votes independently for what they think is best for the country. Once large numbers of voters cast votes in blocs on the basis of community or religious identity, elections become an ethnic competition, rather than a competition of ideas.

@SaulStaniforth @nadhimzahawi I wonder if @nadhimzahawi has played @Nigel_Farage for a fool? Stage a defection to @reformparty_uk, create instability in the party that becomes sufficient to ensure failure at the next general election. Just a thought. Nothing would surprise me in politics.

"Nadhim Zahawi, a few years ago you tweeted: 'I'm not British born Mr Nigel Farage, I'm as British you are. Your comments are offensive and racist. I would be frightened to live in a country run by you'"
@nadhimzahawi has just joined Reform.

It's 1st December and time for my annual reminder that Aled Jones did not sing *Walking In The Air* in the 1982 film *The Snowman.* The treble soloist in the film was Peter Auty - at that time a chorister at St. Paul's Cathedral.

@birderkettle Are you going to the SIC Energy Strategy consultation tomorrow?

This so true and he’s not even included the destruction of deep peat carbon sink that the ones in Shetland are built on! As well as the 1000+ diesel vehicles running all day for 4 years to erect them, oh and don’t forget the huge amount of concrete and roads built to support them

@ForeverScept You can disagree politically and still get along personally. Friendship across divides is not betrayal. Civility need not weaken conviction— indeed, it can strengthens it.

Remember, they only pretend to be on opposing sides when they think the cameras are rolling.

@lembitopik Natural CO₂ emissions are balanced by natural absorption. Human emissions—only about 5% of the total—create an imbalance that adds extra CO₂ the Earth cannot absorb. That surplus accumulates, raising CO₂ levels and trapping heat for centuries, driving long-term climate change.
English
Chris Packham & the BBC don’t explain why the 5% carbon dioxide emissions from humans are more influential on climate than the 95% carbon dioxide emissions from Nature. If Packham can explain why I’m wrong I invite him to do so. But he won’t. Because he can’t, can he?

@afneil What the STUC actually say is that in recent ONS data, Scotland’s onshore and offshore wind sectors have around one direct job per £1 million of sector turnover. That is not the same as “one job per £1 million spent” in a project; it excludes many indirect and supply-chain jobs.
English
Mad Ed Miliband will soon be a busted flush. A new report by the Scottish TUC concludes that for every £1m spent on wind power in Scotland just ONE job is created. That’s right. ONE job. Hot air indeed.
