My Dad's estate agency firm randomly* gave away a ZX80 in some sort of promotional competition. We had it for a while and I remember writing a program...
*(I say randomly, but he was always into the latest tech & personal computers. Loved my Acorn Electron!)

It's this easy, and makes a micro text post like this better for everyone, not just those with visual impairment.
"It's good that a significantly higher sum was agreed for climate adaptation finance for the global South. It's pretty pathetic though that this sum is to be taken from already-extant pledges rather than being new money. "It's good that the idea of phaseing out fossil fuels made it into the agreement. It's pretty pathetic though that it has taken thirty years to get to actually even just truly naming the source of climate chaos (!), and also that the fossil-fuel-phaseout plan is >voluntary<, rather than having the force of international law. "Why is progress at CoPs so glacial? It's because you have to basically get every country in the world to agree. "This is a receipt for absolute lowest-common-denominator-ism. It gives carte blanche to awful petro-states like Saudi Arabia and Russia to hold everyone else to ransom. "What needs to happen is that those nations that are actually honest and serious about the extent of the climate crisis need to press ahead, without waiting for the petro-states. The 90-odd countries who wanted a much stronger deal should go ahead and form a 'climate club', and MAKE that deal that the world needs. And they should punish economically - and morally! - the states that are standing only for their own profit - ...and for more climate breakdown. "The CoP system has in some ways been a heroic effort. But everyone can now see that its time has passed." -Rupert Read

I like these thoughts. I would like them slightly more if the post had alt text...

This is an incredibly important graph and post which a large part of the climate science community is intentionally ignoring and trying to hide.

Our climate is in a much more dangerous state than main stream climate scientists are willing to acknowledge.
