You can stand on the coast and smell the rot, stand on a mountain and see the wildfires, walk to your lake but longer swim.

And when it rains, it floods.

They tell you not to believe your lying eyes, that some as yet unknown technology will save you.

They will kill you.

UK subsidises energy prices in other countries.

Investors, state entities from Canada, France, Germany, Spain, Israel, Italy, Korea, Norway, UAE & the US own most of UK energy sector.

£514bn operating profit since 2020.

Profits/Dividends go abroad.

Britons pay the price of privatisation dogma.

If the government wants economic growth it must bring essential industries into public ownership

Successive governments clobber households and small businesses by hiking interest rates to manage inflation, but don’t inconvenience corporations.

I'm getting a bit fed up with Bill Maher.
He's very forgiving of Donald Trump. It feels like he's accepted Trump's now a dictator who's prepared to do horrible things to you, so better not upset him too much.

The Palmer, in use since 1992, “hosted two helicopters and up to 45 researchers, and made daring visits to the Thwaites “doomsday” Glacier in West Antarctica. The ship provided a home base for autonomous vehicles mapping the currents below the ice and helicopter access to its perilous ice shelf.”
