@TinyCO2 A couple of tweets
One in French say "These unusually warm waters between 50 and 300 meters deep located between-140 W and 150 E should."

another thread mentions it
"Needless to say, we have a DANDY out there propagating!"

Probably faulty equipment but something that looks like a cold eruption from the sea floor. It demonstrates how vulnerable the whole thing is to flaws. Unless it's real, in which case WTH!

Stewgreen, I always wonder if all these studies into what kills you, count the same people. So the first lot look for smokers and cancer or COPD, the find x%. Then those looking at pollution deaths count the same people. Another team looks at sausages and bacon and conclude that at least some of those people were killed by their diet. And so on.

Pg 2 "One in five deaths is linked to lead pollution, scientists reveal"
Canadian study , scientist claims study shows there is no safe level of lead
.. Hmm it breaks the "too wow to be true rule"

For the final take the Times quotes the British Heart Foundation , association Medical Director
“The air that we breathe is still dangerously toxic and we know that it has harmful effects on heart health. We therefore cannot be complacent in our campaign for clean air in order to reduce the risks posed to the nation's health"

R2 customer says she got a letter
"It's time for your meter to be replaced this is a legal requirement"
SSE working with Morrison contractors.

The guy turned up with a smart meter, installed it, but it wouldn't work so he put the old one back
.. She showed him the letter.. And he said it was not a legal requirement.
Vine's expert Smart Energy GB theorizes SSE meant that the meter replacement was required due to age, but that should have given her option of smart or unsmart.
..he never explained about Smets 1 and 2

Germany is preparing to dig up, import and burn more coal and gas than ever before, because Energiewinde has failed to deliver what German industry, business, trade and people need to survive.

The imports are coming from Russia, and in the current climate, and for the foreseeable future, this is a high risk strategy.

Germany has championed Green issues within the EU, and becomes the world champion of double standards and hypocrisy, whilst still dictating to others.

Merkel and Macron both lead Governments of so many conflicting ideologies, that a coalition collapse could be triggered by something comparatively innocuous, even though the reasons are deeper seated.

Selmayr provided "support" for Juncker to "lean on", during his personal crises, and this period of time included the EU telling David Cameron to get stuffed, in the run-up to BREXIT.

IF Juncker had been allowed to fall, prior to this 2015 display:

so much might have been different.

If the BBC acknowledges that the EU is being dominated by unelected dictators, hopefully some Remainers will too. Selmayr has already proved he creates more conflict in Europe, the opposite of the EU's stated intention.

Selmayr does not seem to be accountable, and can't be dismissed.

More from Politico:

"Berlin’s EU plan: More muddle in the middle"

https://www.politico.eu/article/germany-berlin-eu-plan-more-muddle-in-the-middle-government-angela-merkel-cdu-spd-groko-policy/

"Energy and environment: Light green
Germany’s reputation as a green energy champion takes a hit in the new coalition deal, as the parties have backtracked on a 2020 target for cutting greenhouse gas emissions, and declined to impose a deadline for phasing out coal-fired power.

Germany is projected to fall significantly short of its goal to reduce emissions by 40 percent by 2020, compared to 1990 levels. The coalition agreed to close that gap as quickly as possible, but did not give a timeline. It did, however, stress that the country intends to meet its 2030 goal of 55 percent.

Meanwhile, the new GroKo will continue to push its expensive shift to renewable electricity production, known as the Energiewende, which has been plagued by delays and cost overruns.

In a win for nuclear opponents, the new coalition said it will work toward changes to the 61-year-old European Atomic Energy Community treaty — effectively pushing to block new nuclear energy. The position lends more weight to the EU’s anti-nuclear bloc, including Austria and Luxembourg, which will grow stronger after the U.K. leaves.

Berlin will have to continue efforts to tackle rampant air pollution in German cities, which have been breaching EU air quality limits for years. The European Commission could decide to drag Germany in front of the European Court of Justice later this month. A recent court ruling, meanwhile, paved the way for diesel bans in German cities. That has left politicians scrambling to find alternative solutions to bans, including forcing carmakers to make expensive hardware fixes to their cars."
