Noticed that there doesn't seem to be an obvious Circular Economy Starter Pack... So, I've started one here (slightly UK/EU centric). Suggestions for additions welcomed, and also how to add people quickly using the app, as it seems quite convoluted:

It's here! All power assets are now live on my GB Renewables Map ⚡
That's right, it's not just wind farms any more.
Now you can see live and historic data for gas power plants, nuclear, grid batteries, biomass, pumped hydro and even a bit of solar.

But that issue gets zero political attention, and is a total non-starter. Nothing good will come of it.

Do read this thread. It covers the classic problems of govt IT ventures: capture by the providers, poor information management and huge security holes, improbably complex signup process, and low quality outcomes. Surely it might have been better to partner with a university than this corporate slop?

People who never paid attention to climate before are now suddenly telling us "no place is safe" from climate chaos.
What they really mean is "don't compare the risks facing different places — because our brittle investments will lose value if you do."

For those experiencing the flooding in south-west England, it is worth remembering that rainfall in winter has increased by about 25% overall.
And, the rainfall has also become more intense: when it rains, it now rains more, increasing the risk of flooding.

The heat energy we added to the ocean LAST YEAR is the equivalent of:
- Detonating ten hydrogen bombs every minute
- operating over a hundred large power plants continuously for all of written human history
- Five times all the electricity human beings have ever used
- Detonating ten hydrogen bombs every minute
- operating over a hundred large power plants continuously for all of written human history

Ocean heat content increased by 23 billion trillion joules, which was around 39 times greater than global primary energy use this year. This is the largest rise in OHC since 2017; overall OHC has increased by over 500 zettajoules since the 1940s.

I'm a big fan of weather forecasts being available like this, as it's useful to see how different model outputs could have quite big differences in impact, rather than just saying the forecast was right or wrong.
With Arctic air surrounding the UK, weather systems will move in from the west and southwest resulting in a messy mix of rain, wind, snow and ice in many places.
