Dude, you're old skool. You'll be pushing nft's next.

It's a sop to the big pension funds and other large stockholders. She's asking them to invest in UK plc and they need something in return

You know High peak, making money is like making love to a beautiful woman... . You have to have get in quick before everyone else starts sniffing around.

S'ok mate I have a thick skin 😊 I always consider this thread as essentially a gambling thread and a bantz thread. I reserve the right to extract the maximum amount of urine out of other people's loss/gains without ponying up my own 😉

Oh my lord! It was a bit of gentle ribbing after the famboying of a stock, no harm intended. Put your sword of righteousness away my good fellow.

Perhaps he will emulate old Adolf in banning US citizens from receiving said Prize until he wins it.

Quite a cliff that has been climbed there.. Be interesting to see if it plateaus.

Surprise!!!! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwyx5yw8y28o

Polar ice cores, fossilised fern leaves, some sedimentary extracts, is there much else? I thought the lack of available data in these sources was why there is problem making more accurate predictions?

In other news, Ed Mills and may be in an awkward position very soon.. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jun/19/uk-ministers-to-restart-approval-process-for-two-north-sea-oilfields

The first. The second option merely seeks to accurately measure the decline and it will need a global recognition of the facts to do anything, which seems to be a problem for some at present. Stopping plastic is the more important option given it pervasiveness into our bodies as well as the surrounding natural world.

Unfortunate that we need millennia to get very good models over time.

You be careful with that ramping now..

Depending upon your point of view, it very much puts a mockery on the presentation of the recent Defence Spending Review.... Or it validates that we haven't got a pot to pl55 in and need to start spending to bring our armed services up to snuff.

The train companies do not own the track, that's network rail. I hope they are monitoring this 3yr test and learn from it.

I mean technically, they were given US citizenship, but....yeah....

I think you mean Damp squib?

You might be right because how could we know what aliens think like, it is alien to us after all. Relative to what...?

Stux-like virus infiltrated into NatGrid. Just leaving that here.

People are always going to disagree in how something gets done, but I think it's the fact that something does get done which is important here. We have to walk the walk, if we are to have credibility in persuading others to change as well. If we have the target date then we have something to aim for and check against on the way to that date. If we don't, we drift, able to throttle back on schemes and projects as suits. Imo, successive governments like the big grandiose announcements of large projects which tend to fall away, when we could be fixing the things that have real world impact immediately like loft and cavity wall insulation, heat pump migration and having smart meters that are actually smart regardless of the supplier. These are things that tangible in the everyday to people. Fix the things that they can see and touch and you have them onboard for the larger ambitious stuff.

Large fire at NW Ldn electricity sub station. Up to 100 firefighters on scene https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2wvz4pjryo

They did publish, but then unpublished it, so it's out there, but not, if you weren't quick enough. One might say that the scientific method is being stymied by politics and funding removal at many institutions.

https://arstechnica.com/science/2025/04/a-grim-signal-atmospheric-co2-soared-in-2024/ A grim title and start but a positive sounding conclusion for a change.

The perp had already been deported in 2013, remind who was the US President in power at that time? The perp was up on domestic battery charges and a warrant issued for arrest. The judge arbitrarily decided to let him out of a side door whilst distracting several officers that were trying to enforce a warrant for arrest. Every case in law is judged on the merits of it's own particulars. Laws themselves are crafted without emotion. Stripping away the political inferences in the article and taking just the facts as expressed in that article, do you think the judge should have been arrested for aiding the escape of a wanted man?
