2025 is now getting filled with positive spins, and what I consider a lack of objective data. You will have to wait until 2026 and see what Scripps and other sources gives us in forms of statistics over 2025.

It's a different type of measuring stick that one. Looking at the spins and then compare it to the statistics. I'm very sure that they go together as a barometer of sorts. The worse it gets the more spins

One of the most hilarious articles I've seen

" 'why should [planes] be grounded' in the event of 'nuclear detonation'."

He's right

" Tory shadow energy minister claims 2050 net zero goal 'not based on science' "

But not in the way he thinks, we should already have a global fossil ban, instead of that watered down 'Net Zero', but we don't, and if he gets what he want, even less. Then again, maybe it won't matter what Australia does or doesn't. Looking at Mr Trump and USA.

So, erm, eh

"In 2023, the hottest year ever recorded, preliminary findings by an international team of researchers show the amount of carbon absorbed by land has temporarily collapsed. The final result was that forest, plants and soil - as a net category - absorbed almost no carbon."

The label gives itself

Well, yes. Most everything will soon become a 'strategic investment', especially basics, but first our excesses.

Although you might want to argue that copper isn't an excess.

I'm sure we can learn to eat it too, just wait for that 'New Tech'.

You know, we've had thousands of years on us to understand ourselves and our behaviors. You don't need new tech for that one. But we still can't draw conclusions from it.
