We failed the 1.5º target a couple of years ago. But, we have to keep fighting. Every 0.1º helps.

Ironically, it feels like Alice has kind of forgiven George.
Shame about her entire family.

I bet he was a tenant. Though the stock will have been his.

"Mulligan's Daughter."
A best-selling misery memoir if ever I heard of one.

CinderFallon, you shall go to the ball.
Alright, the awards ceremony.

I think, now I'm retired, I'm generally more patient. That's largely because I'm time rich and not endlessly stressed about all the things I might not have time to do.

No. My explanation would be entirely different. (And hopefully a tad more nuanced.)

Steve's explanation made me furious.
Mostly with him.
I find myself less angry these days. Maybe I've just given up on the possibility of fixing anything.

He used the B word!
A word that appears to terrify most of our politicians.

The endless references to The Speaker are just another ridiculous thing about PMQs.

The wildfires, or at least the number and extent of wildfires, are also a result of human CO2 emissions. It's a form of positive feedback, and we should be deeply concerned by it, rather than blithely writing it off as not our fault.

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

Polanski is talking nonsense about wealth taxes.

George has his steak well done.
Not completely reformed, then.

I wonder what Clarrie's usual is. A subservience spritzer?
