@TonyClimate Not so fast! The Guardian says: "Emissions from the project would contribute 0.00039C to global heating.....could lead to the death of at least 480 people" theguardian.com/australia-news…

@KathrynPorter26 @EdOfWraxall LOL. I like the short statement. MUCH higher bills. Please join me in the "Pence per kWh by 2030" prediction. Mine is 45p. Although taxes may rise to try to hide the huge bump in costs.

@EdOfWraxall Higher bills

Ouch

@theGuffa @AlyoshaLawrence @TonyClimate To summarise: Coastal strip - say 10 miles deep, yearly average ~-15C Inland area ~3480 miles, yearly average ~ -55C Any summer coastal melting is reversed every winter. There is no significant inland melting at all. Significant snowfall inland year round.

@theGuffa @AlyoshaLawrence @TonyClimate Why you hysterics continue to suggest it's warm when almost all of the area almost all of the time is so cold you'd step into your -20C domestic freezer to warm up a bit is a mystery. It's like a child's fairy tale. But children finally grow up.

There is more sea ice around Antarctica now than there was on this date 45 years ago noaadata.apps.nsidc.org/NOAA/G02135/so… noaadata.apps.nsidc.org/NOAA/G02135/so…

@theGuffa @AlyoshaLawrence @TonyClimate Climate Hysterics. It always takes them a maximum of 4 posts to become abusive. Every time. They have no argument.

@namagoy @AlyoshaLawrence @TonyClimate Yap all you want, freezing in the winter still doesn't prove your point.

@theGuffa @AlyoshaLawrence @TonyClimate "The only melting that goes on is in the far North near the warm ocean". Trying to counter that with a temperature reading at a base next to the ocean in the North is....not logical. The Antarctic is frozen solid apart from its fringes. In the summer. Next to the ocean. Next.

@namagoy @AlyoshaLawrence @TonyClimate Of course it is below freezing in the winder, that doesn't prove your point.

@AlyoshaLawrence @theGuffa @TonyClimate So, below the freezing temperature of water apart from once? And McMurdo is on the ocean which rather proves my point. Hardly surprising it's warmer given the vast area of above freezing water nearby.

@namagoy @theGuffa @TonyClimate Yeah bub, I was at McMurdo for 51⁰F. Also, in my two winters there it got up to 28⁰F the first winter and the second winter it was above 0⁰F for 72 hours. 4 months of no sun, dead of winter. 28⁰F.

@theGuffa @TonyClimate Yep. Exactly true. The land interior areas are almost uniformly cold. The northern areas are surrounded by deep ocean which is of course warmer liquid hence an average above freezing in summer. Like a glass of ice with a bit of condensation on the outside. Interior never thaws.

@namagoy @TonyClimate It's only in the coldest part of Antarctica that you get those temperatures. During the summer the coastal areas average above freezing.

@theGuffa @TonyClimate My weather app tells me Antarctica is currently -57C. In the last 4-5 months I've seen a range of -50 to -60. Even in February the height of summer. The only melting that goes on is in the far North near the warm ocean.

@TonyClimate Yes, more ice AROUND, not ON. When ice melts on Antarctica, the melt water runs into the sea. That cools the water around Antarctica, so that more of it freezes when winter comes.

@narindertweets @PolitlcsUK Because it was a win by 1 single vote. Pretty obvious really.

@PeterDClack @Guillau13441190 @ClintelOrg Truly horrific! Future generations will view these 1000s of installations as we do bunkers from WW1 & WW2.

@Guillau13441190 @ClintelOrg Yes exactly, I've wondered how to deal with this horror sitting in fields all over the place.

If wind and solar were truly economically and engineeringly superior to fossil fuels, we wouldn’t be talking about a transition. We would be witnessing a wholesale acceptance. Think back to the great energy shifts of the past. We didn’t need global treaties to move from wood to coal, or from whale oil to kerosene. We didn’t need to demonise the forest to convince people to use a coal stove. The market moved because the new energy source offered higher energy density, lower cost and greater reliability. If renewables really were the 'cheapest form of energy' in town, as the narrative argues black and blue, the market would have pivoted years ago without a single subsidy. Capital investment always flows toward efficiency. Instead, we see persistent intermittency. We see huge, costly wind and solar arrays lying dormant when the winds are still, on cloudy days and at night. Only an ongoing dependence on coal, oil, and gas keeps the lights on. That is not a business plan. Without a massive, currently non-existent method for long-duration storage, wind and solar remain an adjunct to the grid - not the solution. We are essentially building two parallel grids: one for wind and sun, and a ghostly 'shadow grid' of coal and gas. This is the definition of engineering failure. The campaign to demonise CO2 served one function: when a product cannot compete on its own merits, you change the rules of the game. If you can’t make the new technology cheaper, you make existing technology illegal. True progress doesn't require a code red crisis to crush debate. It proves itself by providing energy and grid stability from Day 1. If renewables worked as advertised, the transition would be over in a week. Instead, we're being told to sacrifice national sovereignty, energy security, and our industrial base - trading away jobs for a flawed system that cannot survive for a day without a backup plan.

@EnergyMix_UK @PeterDClack Haha..."Homo sapiens evolved during the Late Cenozoic Ice Age, which BEGAN 34 million years ago"... @EnergyMix_UK doesn't realise that the LCIA started, and continued long enough to see the rise of humans 33.5M years ago! Don't buy anything from these people, whatever they sell!

Fake science. Humankind has never lived through the present levels of atmospheric CO2. Homo sapiens did not evolve 34 million years ago, as you try to infer, but a maximum of 400,000 years ago. Increased CO2 directly causes climate change by trapping heat in the atmosphere, creating a stronger greenhouse effect. Increased CO2 is causing the fertility crisis that could wipe out the human race.

CO₂ does not control the climate. It never has. It is not the master dial of the Earth’s temperature, nor is it the architect of our modern anxieties. Carbon dioxide doesn't cause excessive rainfall, droughts, or the collapse of coastal cliffs. Nor is it responsible for the fractures in human society—terrorism, urban violence, obesity or the drug crisis. These are the products of a human civilization that has survived its own annihilation by the narrowest of margins, persisting for 300,000 years largely through a stroke of cosmic luck. Yet, for four decades, a relentless climate war has force-fed the world a diet of crisis and warming hysteria. It insists that CO₂ is the root of all evil—that it is our fault and it is the gas's fault. But the truth is indifferent: CO₂ doesn't care. It is not demonic. It is not pollution. It is the foundation of life on Earth. Without it, Earth would be a silent, sterile rock, inhabited only by bacteria. It was CO₂ that empowered cyanobacteria to unlock the miracle of photosynthesis, slowly flooding the world with the 'waste product' we call oxygen. Before this, the oceans were dark with iron, the skies were not blue, and the world was effectively lifeless. We should be thankful for this gas of life, rather than inventing doomsday scenarios to vilify it. If we look at the true scale of our planet, the single greatest factor affecting Earth’s geology is tectonic continental flow. This slow, majestic dance of crustal plates shapes our continents and redirects the great ocean currents. This is nature at work. Today, CO₂ is a mere trace gas at 427 ppm (0.04%). While it is a mighty driver for biology, it is at some of its lowest levels in planetary history. During the Cambrian Period, concentrations were upwards of 4,000 to 8,000 ppm. If those massive levels did not trigger an 'irreversible environmental collapse', it is illogical to assume today’s trace amounts will. Furthermore, water vapor remains the dominant greenhouse gas, reaching concentrations of 40,000 ppm (4%) in the tropics. It is responsible for the vast majority of the greenhouse effect, yet it is sidelined in favor of the carbon narrative. History matters. For hundreds of millions of years, CO₂ has not been the deciding factor in global temperature. Homo sapiens evolved during the Late Cenozoic Ice Age, which began 34 million years ago when Antarctica became entombed in ice. Our entire history has unfolded within the Quaternary glaciation, surviving 100,000-year cycles of icehouse conditions. Almost every meaningful invention, every empire, and every leap in human progress occurred within the brief, warm window of the Holocene. We have never not lived in an ice age. We have survived global upheavals before, but we may not survive a self-imposed collapse into a new medieval dark age driven by ideological fear.

@KathrynPorter26 @Keir_Starmer I'm just beginning to really realise the deep sickness in this countries political class. Plenty of stuff about Gordon Brown's activities w children, Harman and so many from all parties. It makes sense why Saville was protected until death.

See the Community Note... Desperate stuff from @Keir_Starmer

@EuropeanGasHub Lucky members getting to find out what happened to the 2 Irish projects from 2018 and the 1 Italian project from 2020. Is it sweet FA, but a few cronies got very rich pretending to build something? How corrupt this scam is! @ka

@ukvillafan @Keir_Starmer @HarrietHarman If Trans Women are real women then why do the people using the term use the prefix Trans?

We all know that it must be difficult to find a female in the parliamentary Labour Party who knows exactly what a woman is (indeed, you isolated one of the few - Rosie Duffield - so badly she left the Party) but to choose Harman? Really? She thinks that a man can ‘transition’ into a woman, which is one of the most bizarre anti-science notions ever to take hold amongst the so-called most intelligent animals on the planet. Humans cannot change sex - our sex is coded by DNA in every nucleated cell in the body. No male human being can ever ‘transition’ to female, however many hormones he takes or body-mutilating surgeries he undertakes. So what is this ‘transition’ of which she speaks? How does she envision a man becoming a woman when a male cannot become a female? That requires the redefinition of ‘man’ and ‘woman’ as identities only with no biological frame of reference at all. In which case, her argument that men who ‘transition’ suffer and struggle lacks any credibility, for no hormones or surgeries are required to change one’s self-identification category. She thought the Paedophile Information Exchange had a valid argument for effectively decriminalising sex between adults and children when on the board of the National Council for Civil Liberties when it weighed in in support of PIE. She voted against holding a national inquiry into the still-ongoing systematic, group-based, racially-motivated, rape and torture of tens of thousands of white British girls, some of whom were murdered. On top of this, she’s an incompetent lawyer who does not understand how the Equality Act works or the proper interpretation of it by the Supreme Court in the For Women Scotland case. What an utterly spineless traitor she is to women and girls and what a weak and cowardly leader you have proved to be.

I’m delighted to appoint @HarrietHarman as my Adviser on Women and Girls. Harriet is a strong advocate for women and girls and I know she will deliver greater opportunity for women in public life. I’m committed to tackling structural misogyny that is a barrier for too many women and girls. I look forward to working with Harriet to drive forward action on this important issue.

@AppleWhore5 @PolitlcsUK @EthanCroft98 Yes I agree it's brave to challenge but she's a carbon copy of Starmer. What's she protesting?

@namagoy @PolitlcsUK @EthanCroft98 She has a cat in hell's chance of winning but at least she wants to do something and that's to be respected.

🚨 NEW: Labour MP Catherine West implies she will not drop her leadership bid to allow Andy Burnham to stand "Some of them had a plan about, you know, in six months time...sorry, that's just too late... he's not here on the spot, so he can't really do it" [@EthanCroft98]

@gibraltarfx @Philip__Hills @afneil @grok check this post for veracity

@Philip__Hills @afneil

I must confess to having underestimated Keir Starmer. Thumped in Thursday’s elections, this weekend he turns to Gordon Brown and Harriet Harman to rejuvenate his government with young, fresh blood. A stroke of pure genius. I foresee a second Starmer landslide come the next general election. Respect, sir.

@andyrichardhill @AppleWhore5 @PolitlcsUK @EthanCroft98 Here are her principles: catherinewest.org.uk/my-priorities/

@AppleWhore5 @PolitlcsUK @EthanCroft98 Only heard of her an hour ago. I'd never vote Labour, but at least she's got some principles.
