New study estimates that German households who remain on natural gas in 2045 could be stuck paying 10x what they pay today for gas pipeline maintenance. As other households electrify, gas utilities will spread the same maintenance costs over fewer remaining customers, raising prices dramatically.

Just a reminder the media org that has been trumpeting that it cares about kids and their futures and wants social media banned is the same that worldwide has been running climate change disinformation and lies, ensuring the kids will live in a worse world
The November monthly temperatures have been released and 2025 looks set to be the 2nd hottest year on record.

Remember when warming apparently stopped in 1997?

That is more than 0.5C ago.

Richo was definitely a "colourful character", no doubt about it.
Mr Richardson's wife, Amanda, described her husband's last moments "He loved you all,"
"Or most of you all. OK, let's be honest, not all of you, but thank you for turning up anyway." www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...
Richardson remembered for 'soy sauce diplomacy' at state funeral

Prohibition gave money to organised crime, made alcohol more dangerous, corrupted many law enforcement officers, and didn't reduce consumption. The same thing has happened with prohibition of all the other drugs. Drug use is a health problem, not a criminal problem. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...
America's bizarre experiment with Prohibition likely ended with a brutal massacre
Prohibition was officially repealed on December 5, 1933. But the beginning of its end can be traced back years earlier — to a highly-publicised massacre by firing squad.

rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"
