Yes, we need a massive expansion of renewables but they won't produce plastic, cement, ammonia or steel which Vaclav Smil calls the four pillars of modern civilisation. The reality is that we need a completely different economy but our politicians and business leaders will never accept this.

Calling it a bubble is to miss the point. Go to where a community suits you, and where you suit the community. Where you can get what you want. I don’t want fights any more. I want facts, freedom and fun - peppered with interesting information. Is that a bubble? Maybe, but a good one. 4/4

In that state, you need distinctiveness and a function. Go to X if you want to meet Nazis. Go to Truth Social is you want to suck up to the Mango Manbaby. Go to Facebook for the best in fake news. What do you go to Bluesky for? To find the Bluesky community. 3/4

The new CEO of Bluesky wants to change Bluesky from being a leftist bubble. The thing is, there’s nothing wrong with being a leftist bubble: the idea that everything has to be all-encompassing and suitable for everyone is a trap. 🧵 1/4

If I'd spent my career being offensive to and about particular groups of people and they _didn't_ celebrate when I died, I think my shade might be quite disappointed; and that's the best argument I've seen so far for silence about whatshisnamewhocares.

C4 News tonight ran a roundup of climate-induced catastrophes around the world. It’d work as a flashback to the start of an extinction event which the extinct didn’t recognise even though they still had the power to save themselves. Problem is - there won’t be any movies.

I was struck by a piece on Radio 4 the other day, asking whether Burnham would be more "pragmatic" - meaning "positive" - about drilling in the North Sea. It was simply taken for granted that drilling was the "pragmatic" option, while opposing it was dogmatic or ideological.

Wrote about the deafening silence on our summer of climate impacts from Labour, the Lib Dems, the Greens, business leaders, and even some campaign groups. The dominant climate discourse from the past week has been from those who want to ditch net zero targets and trash decarbonisation policies.
