Wondering how >£20 per night for a single person with a 1 man tent and a bicycle to camp, became so prevalent, and why this isn’t re-starting a conversation about what happened to the organisations (some charitable) which were meant to make travel affordable for youngsters.

A Lime bike rider, who was riding at 30mph in a 20mph zone, damaged their bike and then dumped it on a pavement with no regard for vulnerable pedestrians

HS2, a train that travels only 120 miles on Earth, was more expensive than the International Space Station which took 10 years and 15 countries to build.

@adrianwills @adamtranter Fewer parked cars if driverless ones are shared use
English
@adamtranter “Driverless vehicles may still help us solve some real transport problems” - what problems? What major issue does driverless cars solve unless it can 100% guarantee the safety of other road users? I genuinely don’t see the point of them.

We can allow history to repeat itself, and powerful interests to shape our streets in one way.
Or we can remember that cities are places where walking, cycling and public transport should be prioritised.

Did you know that the countries with the most heat pumps installed are also in some of the coldest climates?

~45% of US corn production is now used to make ethanol, mostly for mixing into gasoline.
That's ~13% of all US crop land already used for energy production.
Using some of the same land for solar panels would capture 50-100 times more energy per acre.

@g__j @OctopusEnergy Any reason why my monthly payment has just increased 3 fold?
My most expensive monthly energy usage was 'only' £540 over the last 12 months.
My account is currently in credit.
Are your projections for future elec costs that terrifying?

@RealTimVine I assume the rationale is to realise some psychological benefit which may have a bigger effect than the reduced draft

Ran up the numbers on a DIY home energy storage system using a model 3 battery pack.
It is great value, basically £40/ kWh instead of £740 / kWh from something like a powerwall
Getting a heatpump at the same time would result in almost £2,000 a year savings. Payback period about 5 years for both

Is this really happening?
Shocking but It shouldn't be too surprising after 2023, 2024 & Jan 2025 #arctic

@MarcNixon24 It's astounding the massive number of IDIOTS who suck up the 'climate crisis' grift like it's gravy.
Our atmosphere contains a mere 0.04% CO2, it is the gas of life. If CO2 drops below 0.02% photosynthesis stops, killing all life on earth. Life on earth is carbon based!

BREAKING: America’s new Secretary of Energy just exposed the entire climate scam
“Media & politicians NEVER bothered to actually learn about climate change.”
$2 TRILLION to lower fossil fuel use by 2%
They’re not saving the planet—they’re robbing YOU

CO2 makes up less than 0.04% of the overall atmosphere and the UK contributes less than 0.1% of that annually. We could go carbon neutral tomorrow and remove all cars from the road. It makes absolutely no difference to overall climate changes. Why are we constantly reminded of the dangers when we can have no effect at all? 🤦♂️

'Dangerous climate breakdown' warning as hottest January on record shocks scientists

@MarioNawfal We have no significant influence on the climate if you consider that Carbon dioxide (CO₂) constitutes about 0.04% of Earth's atmosphere.

🚨EARTH JUST HAD ITS HOTTEST JANUARY EVER
EU scientists confirmed January 2025 was the warmest on record, making it 18 out of the last 19 months above the critical 1.5°C threshold.
Even with a cooling La Niña, global temperatures keep soaring.
January's average was 1.75°C above pre-industrial levels, with sea temperatures also near record highs.

@ForgetfuP @endlibtyranny @RyanAFournier "Less Clean".... Oh! You must mean that 0.04% of the atmosphere that scientists properly label as "The Carbon Cycle", that grifters have latched on to as a money supply. Yeah. We're tearing that playhouse down.

@JamesMelville Reducing carbon dioxide is a bad thing it’s a life sustaining molecule, plants need it and to reduce it is to reduce something that already extremely scarce in our atmosphere air is 0.04% carbon dioxide and 0.01% of that is man made

@JamesMelville Used solar panels in buried in the ground
Used turbine blades buried in the ground
Captured carbon buried in the ground
This is going to mess up the planet for future generations not the 0.04 of carbon in the air that is need.

@kinlochleven7 @Daedalus6 @Ed_Miliband Did you know there's about 400 parts per million (ppm) of caffeine in coffee? There's over 400 ppm of CO₂ in our atmosphere today. If you've felt the surge of caffeine hitting your system, you've experienced the effects of just 400 ppm.
