Felt like an underlining of their new policy to ban adjust the guidelines to voluntarily stop the use of disposable BBQs. They are under a lot of pressure to actually do some mitigation since water is running low and crops are failed but apparently this was the actual action, banning BBQs and alerting everyone to that new guideline!!!

Shreddit still exists as a docker image and can go about saving a scrambled version before it deletes, but in practice it doesn't seem to work. They disappear from your account and you can no longer see them but if you search for your username on Google etc you can still get to the comments, so they are still available for search engines and AI. There is no way to remove the comments on Reddit, you can just choose to hide them from yourself!

They have been using the minimum estimate for CO2 impact on heating since the 1970s. The level of pollution in the air has been hiding the true impact and as the various causes of pollution are removed the earth energy balance is changing such that it turns out that the highest end of the CO2 impact is actually correct, which doubles the heating effect. There has been about a third of climate scientists who have been warning about this but they have consistently been called the extremists or the doomers and they have been right all along. They were always right, the evidence was based on actual experiments of the impact of CO2 and not by measuring the planet.

Labour Friends of Israel. Its a group inside the labour party that are strong Zionists and their members are now in charge of the Labour party and the government with strong ties and bias towards Israel. They have been using increasingly authoritarian measures to put down anyone criticising Israel and its actions of genocide in Palestine and expansion into the West Bank.

I bought physical disks until they were basically phased out. A large chunk of them just registered on Steam and downloaded the latest patch before they would run anyway. I have been against Steam and its DRM for a while, but everyone else chose to have no rights to their games, no ability to sell or loan them or give them to others. You will own nothing and love it.

There is also the other explanation, which has a lot of mechanistic science already, that is the impact of the virus itself on the children before and after birth. Its been known since 2020 that the virus causes neurological damage and the evidence keeps coming in on just how bad news it is. We see it all over society at the moment, blamed on other things but the scientific papers showing the structural changes in the brain are many times replicated now.

The entire rate of adoption of green technology is waiting on grid upgrades. There is something like 70GW's worth of solar for corporate buildings on a waiting list for the grid connectivity to be upgraded. The ability to transfer the power is a big problem currently. We badly need more investment in the grid capacity to speed this up because we are increasingly wasting renewable energy. Wind and Solar are both being curtailed badly by various bottlenecks which can't transfer all the production while other areas are running on gas.

Covid infections and a Long Covid are a big part of the problem now, that is manifesting in an enormous list of problems and newly disabled people. Its causing so many different chronic conditions that science is beginning to wonder if viral infections are the cause of almost everything. Its one disease that the NHS refuses to even diagnose correctly and certainly doesn't treat after it shut down all the Long Covid clinics. 4 million new chronic health sufferers that know they have Long Covid from the GP patient survery and a further 6 million that aren't sure.

The children have been marinating in repeated Covid infections now for 5 years after restrictions were lifted and one of the consequences of Long Covid is heat intolerance. Now we are subjecting them to constant excessive and potentially lethal heat in classrooms that often don't even have opening windows let alone Air Conditioning. They really don't care if the children survive at all, just that the parents are forced to work so the billionaires can get a bit richer and own ever more of everything.
