Need a mute button for Walker & Parrott on the #Masters #Snooker. Let the snooker talk!

Congratulations to Chris Wakelin after his victory in the Scottish Open #Snooker. A comfortable win in the end, capitalising on Chang's errors. Maybe lack of expectation sometimes helps!

Some juicy Round 2 ties at the #Snooker Shoot-out. Brecel v Murphy, Gilbert v Wu, Robertson v Ford, Leclercq v Szubarcyzk, Holt v Page. Plus two all amateur games.

A good afternoon at the #UKChampionship #Snooker. Great win for Zizins against Carter. Heathcote also looked great against a typically casual Lisowski. Hats off also to Slessor who toughed it out, winning by a point in the last frame.

It's Prime Day so here's your regular reminder that:

- Amazon has been exposed for throwing away millions of unused products each year
- Amazon emits MORE CO2 than Hong Kong & Denmark
- Jeff Bezos earns more in 1 MINUTE than many of his workers do in a year

Overconsumption is KILLING our planet

Big wins for the youngsters Stan Moody and Aaron Hill over top seeds in the Wuhan Open #snooker. And another 147 for Thepchaiya! Good tournament this one.

~5% of fossil gas & 15% of oil go into “non-energy producing purposes”: raw material for plastics, fertilizers, industrial chemicals etc.

A global plastics treaty has just been nixed.

These are not unrelated. The petrochemicals industry is fighting for their backup plan in a clean energy world.
Plastic pollution talks fail as negotiators in Geneva reject draft treaties
NGOs say deadlock over legally binding deal to curb production and toxic chemicals is ‘blow to multilateralism’

Fellow Earthlings: tomorrow (July 3), is #aphelion! That's the point in Earth's year-long orbit when it's at its most distant from the sun.
(The closest approach to the sun is called perihelion.)
The average difference between aphelion and perihelion is about 3.1 million miles.

If you don't measure it, it can't be real... Trump tries to kill off the 'Keeling Curve' by closing the Mauna Loa observatory which has been measuring CO2 from a Hawaii mountaintop since 1958.

It's 3 years today since Shell was given the go-ahead to drill for new gas at Jackdaw field. It was later ruled unlawful, but self-styled "green" chancellor Rachel Reeves made clear she doesn't care 👇

The beauty of elderflowers, bistort and hemlock water dropwort aka 'Britains most dangerous plant'. Cheered me up on my walk this morning! 😊

The beautiful green of oak trees at the moment is one of the few things giving me cheer

It's not a vintage Crucible final (assuming Willo doesn't win ten in a row!). But elite sport is not always about close contests. Watching a great player perform at the highest level on the biggest stage is enjoyable in itself. Overall it's been one of the best World #Snooker Championships ever.

Looking forward to today's World #Snooker Championship Final. I fancy Willo to mount a strong comeback, with Zhao just hanging on. What a story of redemption that would be.

You want to know what #climate scientists got wrong about #climatechange?
We were too cautious. It's happening faster than we anticipated and the impacts are going to be worse.

I'm massively down and anxious that #Lancashire Council is now led by the far right. If you've put an X in the #reform box, what do you want to happen to make life better?

Well played Judd Trump. 100 centuries and the one hundredth starts with a fabulous plant. From there it seemed inevitable when he's playing like this.
Respect to Shaun Murphy for his congratulations.
A great Crucible moment!
