The bizarre and disturbing thing is that Joshua Bonehill-Paine is one of the few figures on the right to be loudly and clearly called out for anti-semitism. Is that because it doesn't happen much on the right? You have to be kidding. So why the double standards? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Net zero emissions is the only scientifically-backed solution the world has to halt climate change, yet one flawed argument against net zero just refuses to die: ‘but we’re only 1% of emissions’.

As for the political message, it's a simple one. Trump started a war really no one wanted or supported, cost the American people hundreds of billions of dollars and then managed to completely fuck it up. Stupidity, incompetence, failure: rinse and repeat (like Trump does).

In this context, “do your own research” is a euphemism for “motivated reasoning” — making up your mind about an issue in advance based on what your in-group thinks about it, then going out & looking exclusively for evidence you’re right. And the smarter we are, the better we are at doing this.

Every country in this list is less dependent on energy imports if it gets on track for a net-zero world, including the US. Though US gains are the least! From BNEF's New Energy Outlook for 2026.

Fossil fuel giants are raking in profits while people across Europe face high bills and worsening climate impacts. As @globalwitness.org argues, taxing those excess profits can fund a fairer, greener Europe and accelerate the shift away from oil and gas.
