Been shocked lately to see how many nuclear advocates fundamentally don't understand why we have an electricity market and what that means for nuclear power.
But of course you kind of need to not understand how the market works to be a nuclear power supporter in the first place.

Ted O'Brien peddling the nuclear delusion on Radio National.
It's too expensive to compete with renewables and too slow to build to make a difference on climate change.
It remains a dangerous ideological time waster.

Friendly reminder that israel's government is now deploying every tool in its arsenal to silence leftist israelis and israeli publications like haaretz, or even centrist israelis who are against the massacre in Gaza and the West Bank.
“There’s no Israeli-Palestinian conflict. There’s only a brutal Israeli occupation.”
-The editor in chief of Israel’s largest English language newspaper.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is Gideon Levi who is an award winning journalist and prominent columnist for the newspaper Haaretz
Levi is not however the editor-in-chief of Haaretz, that is Aluf Benn.
This is a correction of fact and has no bearing on the opinions being expressed by Mr. Levi.

Let's say it again - there is zero science that links "whale deaths" and "wind farms".
But there is a plethora of evidence that links "whale deaths" to "rising sea temperatures caused by Big Fossil Fuel".
""There is no science which demonstrates that wind farms have any significant impact on whales," Professor Hanich said.
The claims, which are a talking point of former US president Donald Trump, have been refuted by the US government's own NOAA."

The co-authors have published a remarkably detailed analysis of global warming in the pipeline: academic.oup.com/oocc/articl…. This analysis of the trends in temperature and greenhouse gas levels over the past 67 million years, and the last 800,000 is stark

"It is too fatalistic to say that we are now in an era when things can only get worse. But it is simple realism to understand that the strongest trends in world affairs are malign and gathering momentum."

Back in 2017, @benhenley and I estimated when we would see the first year to hit 1.5°C warming. Looking increasingly likely that it will be this year. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.…
September 2023 Temperature Update 🔥
Warmest September & largest anomaly ever measured, shattering previous September record.
Warming since August concentrated in polar regions.
Near certain 2023 becomes the warmest year.
Likely 2023 exceeds 1.5 °C.
