In 2021, the chance of 40C heat in the UK by 2040 was estimated at 0.02%
In 2022, multiple regions hit 40C
This is one example of a systematic underestimation of climate risks in UK and internationally

The Starmer government is REALLY running scared of this petition, now at 2.75 million, to the extent that it has responded 3 months early, in a transparent attempt to spike it.
So please, under no circumstances should you sign it and share it widely. Starmer & his boss McSweeney would not like it.

Parents, be vigilant against PragerU instructional materials in your kids classrooms! It’s an extremist outfit masquerading as an educational nonprofit. It’s a far right wing response to PBS kid’s programming, it is propaganda designed to appeal to children and careless or bigoted educators. Beware!

TIL: When the Original Star Wars Trilogy finally aired on Chilean TV in 2003, the network spliced custom beer commercials into the films themselves to avoid cutting to commercial breaks.
these additional scenes turn Obi-Wan & Luke into raging space alcoholics who are constantly shotgunning booze.
