#UK falling behind in yet another area. This comes a few days after similar words by the UK Climate Change Committee warning of "a lack of urgency" in the government's climate policies, which it described as "worryingly slow". theccc.org.uk/publication/20…

Sad. The world's oldest daily paper, #WienerZeitung printed its last edition today (1st was in 1703). In its life it covered 10 Austrian Emperors and 12 Presidents. Its only break was during Nazi times, when free press was banned: Auf Wiederschauen! wienerzeitung.at

The German supreme court effectively wiped out €60 bln in climate funding by ruling in favor of an opposition claim that it was illegal to shift Covid loans to green finance projects - this puts to doubt all sorts of recently announced climate & energy support programmes...

Gosh! Haven't tweeted - sorry, X'd - in ages. And never about movies/celebs. But check this... #TheJoker (JoaquinPhoenix.com) looks so much like #CaptainSlow (James May). Could Captain Slow in fact be The Joker? Or, shocker, has The Joker had a quiet career in UK auto sport TV?! Uff
