Just in case it isn't crystal clear, UK based coal-fired power stations outperformed 'renewable' sources of electricity yesterday.
At roughly half the cost per MWh.
That's something you won't read anywhere else.

Yesterday #gas generated 50.0% of British electricity,

Guardian March 2017 : The 712-page Google doc that proves Muslims do condemn terrorism
Really ? I open it up
#1 Print preview comes up as 502 pages
#2 Max of 20 condemnations/page
#3 Some of them are bizarre :
: supposed terrorists are "Climate Change" , Simon Wiesenthal Center, Donald Trump etc.
#4 About 10 times attacks against Jewish targets are condemned
There is a sister site muslimscondemn.com
"A collection of all the cases where Muslims have condemned wrongdoings done falsely in the name of Islam."
Some things that yield big hits in their search : "Climate Change", israeli , Simon Wiesenthal Center, Donald Trump, IDF
Notice how that contradicts with the quote above
zero hits : "israeli civilians", Jews, Tel Aviv, Hamas, Mahmoud Abbas
almost zero : Jewish

Judith Curry advises never to look a polar bear in the eye.
she says - Advocates and scientists have tied the earth's fate to that of the polar bear. But what happens if that lumbering giant proves more resilient than the rest of us?
It seems that someone did.

EU Hypocrisy again - Do as I say, not as do
...Senior staff at one EU agency who were trained to handle abuse complaints told The Times they were instructed to intimidate women who considered reporting their harassment to the media, as it could be “detrimental to the interests” of the bloc.“We were supposed to tell victims they should not speak to the press; if they did, the institution could take legal action since speaking to the media would be against staff regulations and could bring the employer into disrepute,” a source confessed...

Elon Musk's feelings on public transportation in Wired
“I think public transport is painful. It sucks. Why do you want to get on something with a lot of other people, that doesn’t leave where you want it to leave, doesn’t start where you want it to start, doesn’t end where you want it to end? And it doesn’t go all the time.”
“It’s a pain in the ass,” he continued. “That’s why everyone doesn’t like it. And there’s like a bunch of random strangers, one of who might be a serial killer, OK, great. And so that’s why people like individualized transport, that goes where you want, when you want.”

8:49pm Chris Packham just said "look 200 PBs on one beach that's more than 1% of entire polar bear population"
I'm sure there's 30K or something
"And the biggest threat to polar bears are hunters–as many as 1,000 per year (out of a total population of about 30,000) "
