Likely that it was a pithy sign, not the entirety of the policy. These sort of slogans work because people fill in the rest of the policy with what they *want* it to mean without checking

The left are guilty of this too, assuming that policy will do the right thing rather than checking

Its a re-occuring thought pattern that voters have. They hear a broad policy and make an assumption that it only targets the people they believe it should and that there would be exceptions for others. Abortion, Immigration, spending cuts etc its all the same. Only the *wrong* sort magically are hit

Also what tax on wealth. Tax rates on wealth are some of the lowest in the last 100 years.

Most of labours attempts to manage the budget have disproportionally fallen on the poor, disabled and ... labour voter base

I am confused. Why couldn't you place your front wheel between one of the arches. You can get 5 bikes parked in that

(That's still not enough bike space but...)

I just don't know at what point Tesla actually do something about it.

It is making a good point, but if the top don't care about the lose, then it just hurts the workers

Fair. Though there was a reasonably simple, reasonably cheap alternative available. Which meant it was a pretty painless change to a single thing. And companies still resisted

Climate Change is infinately more complex to solve. Its not just don't use X use Y. Its don't use A-Z they are all bad

I am confused. This appears to just be a UPS or portale leasure batteries. This isn't something new

You will plug your device into them they won't feed your home as that would push power out to the grid

BP to slash renewables investment and ramp up gas and oil production. The energy giant will announce its strategy later after rivals also rowed back on green energy plans.

Huh, did I miss the news where we had fixed the climate crisis....

We are living in the worst timeline

Eh my experience of these sorts of social media is that you aren't talking to the person responding, it's just a trigger for your thoughts

Terrifyingly accurate. From the working in silos with no connection to other departments, to the "waffle/pizza party" reward

Farms can install vertical solar panels without reducing crop yields Adding rows of upright panels on farmland generates green power in the morning and evening while acting as a windbreak for crops

This kills land use worries for solar across wide swaths of the planet.

We’re Living in a Dystopian Climate Thriller. It's Time to Rewrite the Ending Decades of warnings went ignored about the threats from climate change. With homes everywhere now burning, flooding and washing away, it’s time we start listening to scientists’ climate solutions

My new essay at Scientific American is out. #fires #climate #water
"We know what’s coming, but we also know what to do...It's time to listen to the science, stop listening to the deniers and work to make our dystopian future, once again, fiction."

A quick reminder on how to contribute to uksnowmap.com ahead of any possible #uksnow tomorrow 👀

Post with the hashtag #uksnow, the first-half of your postcode, and a snow rating x/10 and help draw a real-time map of where it is snowing in the UK.

Its a bit of both. Whilst it is in the end the responsibility of gov and business to make the responsible change. Consumers have a responsibility to ensure that they are also pushing for change and selecting the most ethical options they can. Neither party is doing enough

The joy of capitalism. It's like evolution that selects for profit rather than survival advantage. Doesn't increase profits... Then it will slowly become vestigial and then vanish

People that didn't, and likely wouldn't, vote Labour; create petition stating that they don't like Labour..... Odd choice of thing to do.

Thats like Vegans writing a petition stating they don't eat meat
