The #FossilFuel industry would prefer that we forget about "why," so it's paid out relatively paltry bribes to the crime gang now running the US in exchange for blinding us and erasing our cognition.

The article is competent, deeply reported, heavy on facts but not very useful for helping us to understand how comprehensively the scientific wiring connecting us to reality is being yanked out of our heads.

What do we know about the blackout in Spain and Portugal?

Very little it seems: very good overview by CarbonBrief.

One suspect are “complex inter-area oscillations”, in case you thought this was a simple story, like politicians who discern the truthiness of theirs

Ignorant and thus blindsided. That's how we're supposed to live now and in the future, so that #FossilFuel revenue is preserved.

Silence is not protection. Disagree, loudly.

Our friend Greg co-leader of #NOAA's #PMEL Global Observations of Biogeochemistry and Ocean Physics program (think #Argo) is having his last day there.

Our friend Dan head of NOAA's Global Systems Lab is gone.

#GSL's web page is gone, or unresponsive at this time. Looks as though the whole thing has been vanished.

Changes inflicted for only ~$75M paid as a bribe to the current administration by the #FossilFuel industry.

It would be a good idea to strongly express ourselves at this time.

#KeirStarmer's response to #TonyBlair's unashamed #fossilfuel lobbying yesterday – #TonyBlairInstitute is funded by #SaudiArabia, Azerbaijan and others (not mentioned in Guardian's lead story) – is so asskissing fawning it's as if TBI wrote it.

Just before key elections where Labour are under real threat from the Greens, he could have distinguished himself from an AI & oil lobbyist. Instead he clicks heals with a 'yes boss' salute.

I try to stop moaning about him but he keeps dragging me back.

Quote from Kier Starmer in the Guardian about Blair: "Blair's climate crisis views 'absolutely aligned' with government policy, Starmer says 44 What Tony Blair said is we should have more carbon capture, we’ve invested in carbon capture. That’s many jobs across different parts of the country. He said that Al [artificial intelligence] should be used, we agree with that. We’ve invested huge amounts in Al and the jobs of the future. He also said we need domestic targets so that businesses have their certainty. Ifyou look at the detail of what Tony Blair said, he’s absolutely aligned with what we’re doing here, these are the jobs and the security of the future."

Has the Tony Blair Institute just had a big shadowy donation from the #FossilFuel and/or #Nuclear industry?

Carbon capture is very expensive with questionable results…renewables work right now.

Getting to #NetZero matters for any chance of the survival of society as we know it. Implying it’s optional helps whom?

#BigOil not the nation’s poorest.
