Despite what you hear from fossil fuel-funded politicians, the U.K has just generated a record amount of clean, domestic wind energy.

Enough to power 23 million homes!

Same in 🇨🇦 - Politicians making science based policy aren’t trusted but scientists are:

“Doctors, academics, and scientists are seen as especially trustworthy messengers.”

The solution seems to be to have actual scientists create policy rather than politicians, no?

good moment for canada to recognize european and japanese vehicles standards so we too can get small, affordable cars again
So, King "Rando" Trump went to #Japan and noticed all the cheap, small cars, and decided, with royal magnanimity, to proclaim all TINY CARS henceforth good, and approve their sale in the US.

Even a stopped clock can be right...

I was at North York General today.

I was the only one in my waiting room wearing a 😷. The staff were lovely (and unmasked.)
