@Cate_Mail @MarkJardin19490 @KurtSchlichter IDF had been informed prior by WCK of the convoy route and intention. Whether it was day or night is irrelevant. IDF achieved their intention, shutting down WCK aid entirely.

I’m a genocide scholar and Israel is not committing one.
Martin Shaw@martinshawx
Israel is committing genocide, the vast majority of genocide scholars (of whom I am one) and human rights organisations agree. @ZackPolanski is only stating a well-established truth. The campaign against him is a campaign of genocide denial.

@WEschenbach @RoKhanna @RashidaTlaib How many Israeli civilians have been killed by Hezbollah since the “ceasefire”? How many Lebanese civilians? Israel is not “defending itself” any longer, it is extracting bloody vengeance on a civilian population.
English
@RoKhanna @RashidaTlaib You said nothing when Hezbollah fired FIVE THOUSAND ROCKETS at innocent Israeli citizens, but now you have your manties in a twist because Israel is defending itself?
Really? That makes sense to you?
You are sick AF.

I support @RashidaTlaib War Powers Resolution to stop any US involvement in the war in Lebanon. 2,896 Lebanese have been killed, and Israel is striking even Beirut. 1.2 million have been displaced. We need a vote next week.

@icarus62 RCP 8.5 represents accelerated use of coal and other fossil fuels. The world is not doing that, so either you are wrong in stating we are tracking 8.5 or the modelling is useless, or both.
English
In the real world:
1: Emissions are nearly following the worst case scenario, RCP8.5.
2: The rate of global warming doubled since 2010.
3: The rate of ocean warming doubled since 2005.
4: The rate of sea level rise doubled since 2011.
Things are getting worse, not better.

@AndyMasley Corn ethanol is there to subsidise farmers, nothing else.
English
My contribution to the solar/farm discourse is that solar panels capture about 100x as much usable energy from the sun as corn grown for ethanol, if you include the energy cost of growing corn.
Ethanol corn is 40% of all US corn and is literally just there to capture energy from the sun. We have a way of doing that much more efficiently now!

@MarkJardin19490 @KurtSchlichter @Cate_Mail They are certainly pinpoint accurate. Able to shoot missiles right through the logos on aid convoys, and then accurately shooting missiles at the fleeing survivors too.

@ret_ward @reformparty_uk If heat pump dryers are better and cheaper there is absolutely no need to ban conventional dryers. Let the market decide. The reality is though that heat pump dryers take twice as long to dry clothes and consumers are willing to pay a bit more running costs for the convenience.
English
This bonkers. Why would you be so against more efficient tumble dryers that save households money. The extreme @reformparty_uk agenda would make us poorer and colder.
Suella Braverman@SuellaBraverman
Right, that’s it. He’s crossed a line. As a mum of two young children, our tumble dryer is in use almost every day! Miliband better not come anywhere near my lifesaver…

@Electroversenet Lovelock was correct in large parts of his Gaia hypothesis. The Earth is a self-regulating system. Like ocean surface warming>increasing CO2>more marine algae>more DMS>Sulphate particles>atmospheric cooling.
English
For years we were told thawing permafrost would unleash a methane bomb. But new pan-arctic research dismantles those fears.
Across Canada, Greenland, Siberia and Alaska, scientists found methane-eating microbes dominating methane-producing ones.
This means that even under thaw conditions, the Arctic can act as a methane sink, not a source.
Other studies echo the same result. Natural microbial competition suppresses methane, not amplifies it.
The latest data all point one way. Runaway methane was just another overhyped climate scare. Nature has it covered.

@bbcnickrobinson @Keir_Starmer @BBCr4today Maybe he could start with a few practical measures, like getting on with an EU compatible pet passport so we don't have to pay £150 every time we visit the continent?
English
"There are moments in history that will define a generation. And I think we're in one of those moments” @Keir_Starmer tells me on @BBCr4today comparing the crisis caused by the Iran war with the 08 crash, Brexit & COVID. He argues that we cannot go back to the status quo & must get closer to the EU economically & to Europe more broadly to bolster our defence. He says the economy will needs to change so that it works for young people wherever they live in the country. This feels like a leader who knows renewed calls on him to quit are just days away trying to answer the clamour for him to set out his vision of the future.

@MerrynSW If you want low rents, the best thing to do would be to eliminate rent controls, as per Buenos Aries.
English
Top tip. Rent a big flat in Chelsea now. Wait for rent controls and inflation to make your payments effectively peppercorn. Illegally sublet the flat at market rate. Retire to the country. Tried and tested all over the world. Can't lose!

Reshare:
Israel is preparing mass trials for 350 terrorists involved in the October 7 massacre. A special facility near Jerusalem will be used.
Many of the charges carry the death penalty.
Are you in favor of Israel imposing the death penalty on terrorists? …

@SeddSezz Heat pump dryers are just not very good at drying. I am happy to pay £1 a week more to save hours of having to hear the dryer banging round and still ending up with damp towels.

🚨Rush to buy tumble dryers after Miliband’s net zero ban
Imminent law changes will see traditional tumble dryers phased out for Net Zero.
Perhaps Mad Miliband should visit a 14th floor flat where a family of 4 do washing on a regular basis.
Would he like to live in a place with several airers of damp washing, which damage children's health?
Screw the Net Zero con. Screw this Miliband prick.

@robb_barnes Actual data on AMOC shows no signs of "collapse". The is generated solely by modelling inside computers.
English
AMOC - the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation - will become a household name in the coming years for all the wrong reasons.
The collapse of AMOC would be a global climate catastrophe on an unprecedented scale. There's still time to stop it.

@RichardBurgon BP makes billions of £ losses some years. That is capitalism, good years, bad years.
English
Some corporate giants will make a fortune from Trump’s war while ordinary people get hit again.
They should not be allowed to make a single penny in super-profits from this crisis.
Let's expand the Windfall Tax to any firm doing so - and use the money to cut household bills.
English
@Artemisfornow Horizontal panels at 50 degrees north latitude lose 20% of power potential compared to south tilted. From October to March these would be just decoration, producing virtually no power, and not even good to look at.
English
Brilliant! Mad Ed is launching a consultation (at tax payers cost) to make it easier to build floating solar power plants, following a report that hailed their potential as a clean energy source by an er … energy investor! (Obvs)
Apparently if we cover 33,000 hectares of lakes and reservoirs in solar panels we could power millions of homes.
Sod the wildlife, the eco systems and natural landscapes. We have to destroy the planet in order to save (monetise) the planet LOL 🤡

@MichaelAArouet 70% of new "no work requirement" decisions are for "mental health" reasons amongst those aged 35+. The main mental health problem appears to be chronic laziness, and the willingness of doctors to sign off malingerers.
English
This is simply unreal. No wonder the UK is heading into a debt crisis.
The UK doesn’t need higher taxes, you need pro-business policies to stop entrepreneurs leaving and get people working again instead of living on welfare without work requirements.
What needs to happen?
English
@afneil BP pays over £4 billion in tax to HMRC each year. Only a donkey like Miliband would think that is bad.
English
You’re the energy secretary. Yet you don’t seem to know that BP’s ‘excess profits’ come from its global oil trading division, which is not subject to UK ‘excess profits’ windfall tax, not from its North Sea activities, which are. Remarkable.
Ed Miliband@Ed_Miliband
It would be completely wrong for a Government to stand by and allow companies to make excess profits from a war. That’s why we’re taxing these windfall profits to help with the cost of living. And why the Tories, Reform and the SNP are utterly wrong to oppose the windfall tax.

@janrosenow All those lovely subsidised EVs paid for by us in the UK sending about £6 billion annually to Norway to buy their gas, when we could be producing much of that from our own resources instead.
English
This is truly mind-blowing: Norway has gone from near-zero sales of non‑emitting battery electric vehicles to now close to 100% of all new passenger car sales - achieved in about 13 years.

@CarineKrik @_InfoGram_ US came into WW2 after two years, and only after Germany declared war on the US.
English
Europe needs to study the WWII and see who was there for them when Germany was conquering them. I think our issue right now is that most people who were alive during WWII are dead or dying, the new generation has no idea what USA has done for this world. The missing link is education specifically history.

@BuckCllr Most of the world’s polysilicon, the basis of solar panels, is made in Xinjiang, China, where forced labour of the Uighur minority is the norm. We should not be using these panels, but anti-modern slavery protection is a joke.
English
TRIGGER WARNING:
Solar providing more energy to the grid in the UK than burning fossil fuels. YES Solar on its own, not including wind.
Renewables work and the great thing is, we discovered battery technology, so it can be stored for ‘when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow (FUI the wind ALWAYS blows somewhere in the UK)!
English
@LukeJohnsonRCP Almost every example of removing rent controls results in a surge of supply and lower rents. Helsinki, Cambridge Mass. Many examples. We are mad to go the other way.
English
Meanwhile the UK is doing the opposite with the Renters Rights Act. Watch supply decline and rents climb.
Les Mileistes Français 🦁🇫🇷@Mileistesfr
Le coût des loyers s'est totalement écroulé à Buenos Aires. Comment Milei a fait: - retrait des politiques de contrôle de loyer - simplification des contrats - protection des propriétaires - retrait de nombreuses régultations concernant les logements Bref, tout l'inverse de ce que fait la gauche. Il n'y a rien de plus efficace que le marché pour fournir les meilleures prix.
