Glaciers are the cooling system of our planet. We face an uncertain future, as they lose mass and albedo. Watch the full video on FacingFuture.TV

Refom is the way forword.

That's intriguing. I'm just downloading it from an <alternative source>. Will be interesting to compare with the iPlayer version, assuming it reappears.

You aren't obliged to watch it are you? For example, I don't watch Mrs Browns Boys, because its ยงhรฏลฅ, but I don't demand it be taken off air.

Yes couldn't agree more. Why go to see a play when you already know the story and therefore the outcome? Just to intellectualise about the minutiae of a particular performance?
Off the top of my head, three things I think are vastly overrated:
1. William Shakespeare
2. The Beatles
3. Colour grading

POLL: Is Reform's migrant visa plan racist?

The express poll asking whether reforms migrangt visa plan is racist is about 91% "no" so it REALLY needs your help - this is a direct link to poll

Remarkable that he can do all of that and still find time to play Doctor Who.

Farage is a snivelling little ฤรผลˆลฃ.
He should be hit over the head with a Corby trouser press then thrown in the Tower of London.
Fรนโ‚ฌk him.

No but if they *all* walked out he would have been fลณฤ‡ฤทฤ™d. Strength in numbers.

To give him his due, Trump does have an over-arching talent for appointing the least suitable person possible to all senior roles in his administration.

Somebody should hit him over the head with a trouser press.

Bit short of ideas for an article, were we?

LBC/Global are a bit obsessive about brand identity, I think?

Requiring an internet connection *just to continue operating* seems odd. However it's necessary for communication with other devices - e.g my (UK) MyEnergi system uses an internet connection to charge the car when excess solar power is available. This 'interconnectedness' will be increasingly common

I'm surprised John Oliver hasn't been taken off air yet.
How has he managed to cling on?

Not if you live in a Passivhaus.... ๐Ÿ˜‰

You could attach a small generator and produce a few watts of energy with that. Use it to offset the household electricity bill.
Cat Power.

Spain may be leading the way on this. Huge investment in renewables is now paying off in terms of reduced energy bills - not tied to price of gas like in UK. Households are better off & businesses are thriving due to reduced overheads. Economy has really picked up.

There would be a very real risk that their vehicles could be attacked and damaged, and people injured.

It looks like a Technics SL1200 or one of its relatives. Although originally conceived as a DJ turntable the direct drive motor system is so good a lot of audio enthusiasts picked up on it. There are some unbelievably expensive specialist hi-fi custom versions costing *thousands* of ยฃ/$.

Let's hope that in line with progressive right-wing policy, he hasn't been vaccinated.

I have absolutely no idea what any of this means. Maybe I need a nap?

We should be looking to break the 'gas price link' with the utmost urgency. It would reduce bills and increase uptake of cleaner energy. Last but absolutely not least, it would blow a hole in Reform Ltd's. ludicrous claim that moving to net zero would be costly. So fรผฤฤท you, Richard "stupid" Tice.

An excellent & very informative article. I'm keeping an eye on the Daily Mail. If they start attacking him we'll know they see him as a threat - and therefore he'sdoing the right thing. But unlike a lot of our politicians, I think if the Mail have a go at him he'll almost certainly return fire.

I'm intrigued to see if the Daily Mail start attacking him. If it does, that will mean he's making a difference. And unlike a lot of other politicians, if the Mail has a go at him, I think there's a good chance he'll fire back.
