I miss Carl Sagan (1934-1996).
From Cosmos to Contact, in books and on screen, his intellectual work has had a profound impact on me.
In these days of embraced anti-intellectualism, his books should be revisited.

Quite. Dr Gardner puts it more eloquently than I can.
It also makes me weary that in the UK the argument always seems to be framed around either using land for food production or solar power, when the same land can often be used for both.

Whenever I take the train past a solar farm, people say what a disgrace it is to have it on good agricultural land
They say nothing about the golf courses, fields of Halloween pumpkins, or strips of fields left as cover for pheasants
They're the victims of oil and gas propaganda

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.
Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.
Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

A recipe for shifting the dial on climate: fund a massive science/social science/engineering effort to find ways to bring at least a billion people out of poverty with zero carbon footprint & minimal environmental impact.
And then **make it free & open source** for everyone to use & improve on.

When the next pandemic comes and it's a bird flu pandemic, every dead body will be on the head of Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and I truly hope they're charged with a criminal offense—before they pass on of natural causes—for every needlessly deceased American.
