This is the impact of eating beef. Give up beef, create a beautiful environment.

Australian Robert Martin confronts the IDF who are harassing a family that just had their 5 year old daughter k!lled in an intentional hit and run by an Israeli settler.

Your occasional reminder that the 26 CofE Bishops in the House of Lords make the UK one of just two countries in the world, where unelected clerics automatically sit in the legislature. The other is Iran.

Trump winning is the fault of America. It's time to own up to who our fellow citizens are

Every year, 🇦🇺 taxpayers subsidise petrol & diesel costs by nearly $10 billion. The majority goes to mining companies, including more than $1 billion a year to coal miners. Fossil fuel subsidies for fossil fuel companies 🤯 This has to change. afr.com/politics/feder…

@CDCollins5269 @fagandr1 Since when is someone an “activist” who follows what scientists tell us? Only in your deranged echo chamber of conspiracies and lies does anything you say make sense.

@gregchoat @fagandr1 Which one are you a bot or an activist? I'm guessing an activist for bots tend to be smarter.

If the preferred global mean temperature for the Earth is considered to be 15 degrees centigrade , why has this temperature only very rarely been achieved in the last one billion years (see red dots in chart below), and only then when when entering or emerging from ice ages.

@CDCollins5269 @fagandr1 Check it out - Bob has attracted another bot or conspiracy theorist. Well done Bob!

@fagandr1 @gregchoat These activists are hilarious. They read and reply from pre-approved-prepared talking points and pretend they are intelligent.

"Pound-for-pound beef might be the most climate-polluting substance people regularly use." "If all American beef were raised with grass-fed methods, it would take more land than we have in the entire country.” Great overview with key studies cited: drawdown.org/insights/green…

Smart Energy Council’s John Grimes calls out Peter Dutton’s “utter rubbish” claims that Renewables do not have enough “base load power” & slams the LNP for trying to deceive the public with the use of the term “Base Load Power is a 1950s concept that has been utterly debunked”🔥

Ted O’Brien left looking silly as The Aust. Institute’s Rod Campbell tries to explain how Storage works with Renewables Campbell “when it’s not raining outside, our taps still turn on water” O’Brien asks how many dams are needed🤦‍♂️ Campbell “That was an analogy, deputy chair”🤣

@Baumann_Mac @david_papps55 @abcnews The Qld people will get what they deserve, I just hope these lousy people don’t screw the environment as much as I fear they will

Queenslanders are this morning waking up to a new government after the LNP snuck home with a narrow majority last night. abc.net.au/news/2024-10-2…

@BrentonEcc @Chriscoveries Catholics need to be chased out of education. Their filthy paedo overlords, hordes donated to serve the poor but unspent, and ability to believe anything, makes them unfit to teach anything but fairy stories.

@archeohistories My in laws, friends and I have done this many times over the last 25 years. The mallet has been replaced now with better tech - a board punctured with nails to scrape across the soft inner trunk. Baked l, fresh sago is the finest food imaginable.

Sago (Sagu), a starch extracted from the pith or spongy core tissue, of various tropical palm stems, especially those of Metroxylon sagu. It is a major staple food for the lowland peoples of New Guinea and the Maluku Islands, where it is called saksak, rabia and sagu. The largest supply of sago comes from Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia and Malaysia. Large quantities of sago are sent to Europe and North America for cooking purposes. It is traditionally cooked and eaten in various forms, such as rolled into balls, mixed with boiling water to form glue-like paste (papeda) or as a pancake. Sago was noted by the Chinese historian Zhao Rukuo (1170–1231 CE) during the Song dynasty. In his Zhu Fan Zhi (1225 CE), a collection of descriptions of foreign countries, he writes that the kingdom of Boni "produces no wheat, but hemp and rice, and they use sha-hu (sago) for grain". Sago palms grow very quickly, in clumps of different ages similar to bananas, one sucker matures, then flowers and dies. It is replaced by another sucker, with up to 1.5m of vertical stem growth per year. The stems are thick and are either self-supporting or have a moderate climbing habit; the leaves are pinnate. Each palm trunk produces a single inflorescence at its tip at the end of its life. Sago palms are harvested at the age of 7–15 years, just before or shortly after the inflorescence appears and when the stems are full of starch stored for use in reproduction. One palm can yield 150–300 kg of starch. The fruit of palm trees from which the sago is produced is not allowed to ripen fully, as full ripening completes the life cycle of the tree and exhausts the starch reserves in the trunk to produce the seeds to the point of death, leaving a hollow shell. The palms are cut down when they are about 15 years old, just before or shortly after the inflorescence appears. The stems, which grow 10-15m high, are split out. The starch-containing pith is taken from the stems and ground to powder. The powder is kneaded in water over a cloth or sieve to release the starch. The water with the starch passes into a trough where the starch settles. After a few washings, the starch is ready to be used in cooking. Sago starch can be baked (resulting in a product analogous to bread, pancake, or biscuit) or mixed with boiling water to form a paste. It is a main staple of many traditional communities in New Guinea and Maluku in the form of papeda, Borneo, South Sulawesi (most known in Luwu Regency) and Sumatra. In Palembang, sago is one of the ingredients to make pempek. In Brunei, it is used for making the popular local dish called the ambuyat. It is also used commercially in making noodles and white bread. Sago starch can also be used as a thickener for other dishes. It can be made into steamed puddings such as sago plum pudding. In 1805, two captured crew members of the shipwrecked schooner Betsey were kept alive until their escape from an undetermined island on a diet of sago. The Penan people of Borneo have sago from Eugeissona palms as their staple carbohydrate. Sago starch is also used to treat fiber in a process is called sizing, which makes fibers easier to machine. The process helps to bind the fiber, give it a predictable slip for running on metal, standardize the level of hydration of the fiber and give the textile more body. Most of the natural based cloth and clothing has been sized; this leaves a residue which is removed in the first wash. Because many traditional people rely on sago-palm as their main food staple and because supplies are finite, in some areas commercial or industrial harvesting of wild stands of sago-palm can conflict with the food needs of local communities. There is also a research conducted to potentially make use of the waste from sago palm industry as an adsorbent for cleaning up oil spills. 🎥© simple.history_ (IG) #archaeohistories

“Global wildlife populations have plunged by an average of 73% in 50 years” - imagine if that was our GDP? theguardian.com/environment/20…

@guoah79 France built only one reactor in the past 25 y, and it has taken 20 y from planning to operation and cost $16/W, vs $0.8/W for utility PV, which takes 1-3 years from planning to operation. Accounting for the CF of nuclear in France (~60% now) v PV (25%), nuclear costs 8.3 x PV

@NbergWX Is there any way we can increase the earth’s atmosphere’s ability to create greater pressure systems. Asking for an oil company executive.

8PM EDT: This is nothing short of astronomical. I am at a loss for words to meteorologically describe you the storms small eye and intensity. 897mb pressure with 180 MPH max sustained winds and gusts 200+ MPH. This is now the 4th strongest hurricane ever recorded by pressure on this side of the world. The eye is TINY at nearly 3.8 miles wide. This hurricane is nearing the mathematical limit of what Earth's atmosphere over this ocean water can produce.

The unmistakable fingerprints of climate change: no one predicted how quickly Hurricane Milton got so powerful. It's now the fastest rapid intensification ever observed in the Atlantic End all new oil and gas now

@RpsAgainstTrump I like you guys, but pls correct your transcript
