Net zero by 2050 ‘just ideology’: Scott Morrison The former prime minister, who signed the Coalition up to net zero by 2050, has now declared the promise bad policy, giving Opposition Leader Sussan Ley internal cover to ditch the pledge.

The thing these guys don’t get about net zero is that it’s not just a race against physics, it’s a race against other countries to win the post carbon business opportunities.

Clinging to a dying growth model means missing the emerging one

London Overground under the underground

Under Over Over - West Hampstead

So it's taken a while, but I've finally found a location where you can clearly see London Underground trains traveling over London Overground trains.

The vantage point is at West Hampstead Overground station at the end of the platform.

Interior view of the nave at Wells Cathedral, looking east towards the famous scissor arches beneath the central tower crossing. The soaring pointed Gothic arches and ribbed vaulted ceiling are highlighted by painted decorative motifs in red and blue. In the foreground, white fabric is arranged on the floor, suggesting a temporary installation or artwork. The scissor arches, designed by William Joy in the 14th century, form an elegant structural X-shape that draws the eye towards the high altar.

✨One to lift the spirits - the magnificent nave at Wells Cathedral taken with my tilt-shift lens 📸. Hard to believe that the 'owl like' scissor arches at the end were built in the mid C14th.

“I wouldn’t fill my water bottle from a puddle, or a pond … because I know … I have a chance of getting a waterborne disease. But I don’t apply the same scrutiny to the air I breathe. Which is a little odd because it too is chock full of life.”

Nils Olav looking calm and satisfied (he never gets in a flap) after inspecting his troops, who stand behind him (you can only see their legs but we can safely assume they all look simultaneously humbled and overjoyed to be in his presence)

Happy World Penguin Day to all penguins, but especially Nils, who didn’t let living in Edinburgh (or being a penguin) stop him from becoming The Colonel-in-Chief of the Norwegian King’s Guard. He’s also been knighted. His official title is Brigadier Sir Nils Olav III and here he is looking regal af

This is what a digital coup looks like “We are watching the collapse of the international order in real time, and this is just the start,” says investigative journalist Carole Cadwalladr. In a searing talk, she decries the rise of the “bro...

Fifth Avenue is filled. Trump will hate this 🎉

Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in RFK

Suddenly
I'm now twice the germ I used to be
There's an outbreak spreading out from me
Oh, RFK came thankfully...

Trump’s downfall begins now – his paranoia and baseless rage is his undoing This is what empires look like when they fall

“You might as well divide the numbers of apples in your kitchen by the number of bagels and use it to calculate your mortgage rate. To criticise it on political or economic grounds is too generous.”

Ha ha … southern elephant seal masquerading as an emperor penguin!

Here's a 🎶 twist on Coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?"
