  • Just stop oil splinter group wanting a people's house. Which I think means replacing the House of lords, which Starmer has already promised to do anyway

    🤷‍♂️

  • Thanks, I read it as 1941 and thought it was something about ww2

  • Thanks for the link, there is a link to another article that details Egypt's request to open a humanitarian corridor. Good to hear, and answers my question.

    Reuters reported that Egyptian authorities have asked Israel to refrain from targeting the border area and to create a safe corridor for civilians, citing two security sources.

  • Do they suck the seamen out of them?

  • That headline does not read right.

    If you fail an audit, that's a bad thing.

  • I'm just doing further reading, and finding that it's such a tiny proportion of aerosols that it's likely to have minimal effect.

    I like to understand the facts before claiming it's good, bad or neither

  • No, if you voted to leave, you voted to restore sovereignty to parliament. The people get the government they deserve. We don't need oversight. That's bollocks.

    If you voted leave you fucked up big time and you're on the defensive. Swallow your pride and admit it was a bad choice at the time and it's a bad choice now. Nothing good has come of it.

    We are out of the CAP. The replacement Agriculture Policy removes production subsidy. That's all I wanted.

    We are already back in Horizon and have a seat at the table at the European Political Community

    You are on the defensive, not me mate. I work in agtech, brexit and covid have been great for business and will help mitigate climate change.

  • As is the link I posted, aerosols are the same thing, a suspension of particles

    Recent studies reveal that tiny pieces of plastic are constantly lofted into the atmosphere. These particles can travel thousands of miles and affect the formation of clouds, which means they have the potential to impact temperature, rainfall, and even climate change.

    Clouds form when water or ice condenses on “seeds” in the air: usually tiny particles of dust, salt, sand, soot, or other material thrown up by burning fossil fuels, forest fires, cooking, or volcanoes. There are plenty of these fine particles, or aerosols, in the skies — a lot more since the Industrial Revolution — and they affect everything from the quality of the air we breath, to the color of sunsets, to the number and type of clouds in our skies.

  • That's treating the symptoms and also assumes that EU oversight is a good thing.

    What happens if the right continues its rise and ends up in powerful positions within the EU? Do you really want that sort of oversight?

    It's not too late. And if you voted remain, you voted with the Tory government...

  • Though tiny, aerosols have an oversized influence on climate. The murk of anthropogenic aerosols in the sky has, overall, had a dramatic cooling effect since the Industrial Revolution (without them, global warming would be 30 to 50 percent greater than it is today). And they have more sway on extreme weather than greenhouse gases do: a world warmed by removing aerosols would have more floods and droughts, for example, than a world warmed the same amount by CO2.

    Revell and her colleagues took a stab at trying to model how microplastics might affect temperature by either reflecting or absorbing sunlight, a calculation of what’s known as “radiative forcing.” For simplicity’s sake, they assumed that plastic is always clear, even though that’s not true (and darker material tends to absorb more sunlight), and that the global concentration is uniformly one particle per cubic meter, which is on the order of 1,000 times lower than concentrations measured in, say, London.

    With those assumptions, Revell found that plastic’s direct impact on radiative forcing is “so small as to be insignificant.”

  • Presumably they'll build on the replacement Agriculture Policy that does not reward pollution now that we are out of the CAP
