A society organised around the value of every life would be so different from those we have now. It would be revolutionary, and - I believe - the next evolutionary step for humankind.

That thread also connects climate denialism and fossil fuel use (abuse?). Electrification - solar particularly - has more opportunity to minimise rent-seeking behaviours, and democratise supply. Forcing the population to use fossil fuels leaves them reliant on the patriarchal industrial complex.

Sadly I think in the UK we are ahead of the USA re criminalising protest, particularly over climate issues, and also Palestine/Gaza support.

I'll be interested to hear.

How will you insulate the pipes in the trench? There's potential for significant losses there.

What is the trench in the garden for? Is the heat pump being placed further back in the garden?

Can be wall mounted. Also, worth looking at air to air now under the boiler upgrade scheme - often a simpler install.

If you are this afraid, you shouldn’t leave the house. This goes double if you’re an American. Because read the room. We are the crime.

If material reality doesn't matter compared to the monetary representations of it, then perhaps we are doing money wrong.

X is a fascist propaganda engine. The latest turn, to propagating child and nonconsensual pornography must mark its demise. There's not much else to say.

I guess the argument being made is for Greenlandic independence plus EU membership.

Physics simply can't be ignored with hydrogen. Minimal movement and minimal transfers is important as it's so leaky. Also the new info on how it amplifies the warming effects of methane should be the nail in the coffin for anything other than production localised to use.

Not a researcher - these are my observations: the public realm is diminished by years of austerity. Streets are dirtier. There are more unhoused persons who are more visible. Kids lack service provision so are out in the streets. I think this visible non criminal stuff is *misinterpreted* as crime.

As a chemical feedstock, primarily to be made with excess electrons when renewable sources are plentiful, it makes little sense to produce it otherwise. Michael Barnard's analyses on such matters seem to be spot on. Governments really need to listen to experts outside of industrial vested interests.

Labour fell into the trap of ignoring neoliberalism died as a valid idea in 2008, have no clue as to what progress might be - as their tinkering isn't that, and then blaming migrants as focus groups reflect the populist narratives and r/wing media sentiment. This has to change or we get Farage.

Yeah, they screwed it. Labour have failed to bite the bullet. Post GFC the wealthy doubled their riches, and the same post covid. They must make the rich pay - we are in a situation analogous to the post WW2 settlement, where the rich were taxed very highly to build a working state sector.

The problems London have are a result of dogmatic Tory austerity funding cuts post GFC. These cuts were economically illiterate, and an unjustifiable transfer of wealth from the poorest to the wealthy. The boom in housing costs and diminution of public services can ALL be traced back to this.
