Overall the same electorates that rejected the Republic, rejected the Voice. The outcome isn’t the result of poor strategy, it just shows progress is vulnerable to blockers. But blockers never last long, because they offer nothing. abc.net.au/news/2023-10-1…

"Our results show that most experts (80%) hold the belief that, within the next ten years, logistical distribution issues leading to shortages are the most probable cause of food-related civil unrest." theconversation.com/climate-change…

That is all super depressing. WTH is wrong our country 😢.

The ancient calumny of the malevolent Jew, the vengeful and bloodthirsty Shylock, is still ubiquitous in the West. E.g. Western leaders 'supporting' Israel compulsively urge it to adhere to the laws of war as if they didn't know that Israel does so more scrupulously than they do.

The potential for energy savings across Europe is still vast. Modelling by Fraunhofer ISI shows: We could halve Europe's final energy demand across the economy. Coloured wedges are potential energy savings.

Reminder: switching from gas boilers to electric heat pumps would *cut gas demand by two-fifths*, even if all the electricity you need comes from gas power plants

To decarbonise industry, we must decarbonise heat. About half of all industry process heat is below 200C. Industrial heat pumps using waste heat are well-placed to provide heat at this temperature saving energy and reducing carbon emissions.

Rather than focusing on arriving in the future, we experience the most fullness in life from the present moment. When we are rooted in this state, we can manifest anything. youtu.be/L-HWfAZlAbI

The truth is bad enough folks! The planet is warming steadily and will continue to do so until we bring carbon emissions to zero (I'll have more to say about the robustness of that latter assertion in a peer-reviewed article to appear next month)
