China’s CO2 emissions have been flat or falling for past 18 months, analysis finds World’s biggest polluter on track to hit peak emissions target early but miss goal for cutting carbon intensity

Good morning to all those people who wasted the last decade saying, "there's no point tackling climate change in the UK, because China."

The Telegraph’s BBC hypocrisy A paper that knows a thing or two about editorial f*ck-ups...

The Telegraph's "attacks on the BBC are not remotely done in good faith & are the result of the publisher’s ideological & commercial interests. There is no world in which The Telegraph’s output would survive the level of scrutiny applied to the BBC’s journalism.”

One edit, one fecking edit, from one BBC broadcast among thousands and thousands of TV and radio programmes

And from a programme most people in the UK didn't watch and nobody in America saw

The Heritage Foundation crowd and the Telegraph have created a big, big something out of nothing

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

Elon Musk is now the highest paid CEO on the planet his $100bn a year for 10 years deal is 2,500,000x the wage of his average employee

In fact it's 20x the entire wage bill for all 125,000 of Tesla's other employees

For comparison World Hunger could be cured for $37-50bn a year

EU investing €546 billion for high speed rail by 2040

Right-wing press in meltdown as post-Brexit payments to EU set to pass £50billion Maybe they should’ve printed the cost of exiting the EU on the side of the red bus too.

Just think of the stupidity involved to pay this sum, plus £30/40 billion a year, just to make yourself poorer and make things more difficult for your citizens and business

Fuel Duty is important for Govt income. Fuel duty receipts were down £88 million from April to June alone. Some of this will be due to EV use.

ISTR that road damage is proportional to the 4th power of vehicle weight. EVs can be a lot heavier than ICE cars.

That the UK - one of the architects of this fund, designed to save the world’s forests - is now refusing to put any money into it is frankly shameful. Starmer’s claim that he still continues to back the fund is meaningless without resources - so much for climate leadership

Oh how terrible, I can see why renewables are so unpopular...

UK opts out of flagship fund to protect Amazon and other threatened tropical forests Decision is bitter blow to Brazil ahead of fund’s launch at Cop30 – and an embarrassment to Prince William

This is absolutely appalling.

"The UK will not contribute to a flagship fund for the world’s remaining tropical forests, in a bitter blow to the Brazilian hosts on the eve of the Cop30 climate summit."

Absolutely pathetic.

Having argued that Angela Rayner had to go when it became clear that she had not sought proper advice over her housing arrangements, I can't help thinking that entrusting the renting of your house in a specific area to people who routinely rent out houses in the specific area is pretty blameless.

this is as robust a defence as Rachel Reeves could hope for, lettings agent has coughed up that it’s their mistake

www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

Letting agency used by Reeves apologises, saying it's to blame for rental licence error The lettings agency involved in Rachel Reeves’ rental arrangements said it had apologised to her for an “oversight” that led to a failure to obtain a licence. Gareth Martin, owner of Harvey Wheeler, said: We alert all our clients to the need for a licence. In an effort to be helpful our previous property manager offered to apply for a licence on these clients’ behalf, as shown in the correspondence. That property manager suddenly resigned on the Friday before the tenancy began on the following Monday. Unfortunately, the lack of application was not picked up by us as we do not normally apply for licences on behalf of our clients; the onus is on them to apply. We have apologised to the owners for this oversight. At the time the tenancy began, all the relevant certificates were in place and if the licence had been applied for, we have no doubt it would have been granted. Our clients would have been under the impression that a licence had been applied for. Although it is not our responsibility to apply, we did offer to help with this. We deeply regret the issue caused to our clients as they would have been under the impression that a licence had been applied for.

Oh, look at this - the letting agents apologise for NOT applying for the rental license & say Rachel Reeves would have been under the impression the license HAD been applied for.

Can we have the apologies now from everyone who have been absolutely obnoxious today in their handling of the story?

‘Change course now’: humanity has missed 1.5C climate target, says UN head Exclusive: ‘Devastating consequences’ now inevitable but emissions cuts still vital, says António Guterres in sole interview before Cop30

As the single most important news story this year, I can't wait to see the detailed and central coverage this will get in every media outlet we have

A tweet from Morgan J. Freeman states: “FACT: Venezuela is NOT a major producer of cocaine. They do not have large cocaine factories. They do not produce fentanyl either. What Venezuela does have is the world’s largest oil reserves.”

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.
