tomo,
Maybe a wormhole opened in the space-time continuum and we jumped back a month. Anton Petrov's video would fit 1 April better than 1 May. Comments covered the spectrum from healthy scepticism to theories that make the atmospheric vibrations stuff sound sane. Particularly liked this one (assuming the fellow was being droll):

An engineer denying climate change is like a paramedic denying vaccine effectiveness.

tomo,
I share your doubts about that photo of Spain. On the "bright" side, Spain now has a good credit balance for future Earth Hours.

Daily Mail article on it was just ridiculous. Here's an idea: let's blame EMP for everything. Would save a lot of hard drudgery for air crash investigations, for example, and uncomfortable findings of poor design and human error.

Pretty grim when Scotland de-industrialises. What does it leave them? Wet, windy tourism and haggis farming...

Jo points out that Tony Blair is now speaking against net-zero fundamentalism. She wisely distrusts his motives. In any case, even if the change of heart is genuine, it's unlikely to reopen that Scottish refinery.

On the heels of Canada, this Saturday will wind up the Australian federal election. An uninspiring campaign to be followed up by an uninspiring government. The PM battle seems to be a contest between the Peter Principle and the Dilbert Principle: Dutton, way out of his depth; Albanese, never any good at anything. Does that make it a Starmer vs. Starmer election?

FWIW (not much), polls say it's going to be Albanese again. yay.

Carney was a forgettable Governor of the Bank of England who did not disguise his green credentials. Few tears shed here when he returned to Canada. It is remarkable that he and his party might actually get elected again after the disaster that was Trudeau, but electorates act in strange ways. I've no idea why anyone in the UK voted for any of the mainstream parties last year, but they did so.

Seems Canadians have been to the polls this week (who even knew??) and are about to elect themselves some more of that lovely left wing extremism Canadians have come to love this last decade.

As I tell my eye-raaaanian friends every time their moolah pet poodle gets re-elected with a 99% vote count...you get the Government you deserve 😂
