Thirty years after oligarchs took hold of Russia they are scooping up the US. Thank you EU for resisting ✊ I'm out of here. @nickcowern.bsky.social

If you ever thought the words "Climate Emergency" were an exaggeration, welcome to 2024 and the new post-1.5°C world.
Let's stop pretending that the Earth is heating up steadily. The heating has turned up steeply this century and that 2050 net zero target is nowhere near soon enough. 2024 and beyond is emergency territory.

Well here we are. Musk is promoting violent fascists, destabilising democracies and helping accelerate climate chaos. I will close my account here by close of play this weekend. Anyone wishing to continue following me, it's @nickcowern.bsky.social. Thank you.

Still waiting, @BBCNews.
Dear @BBCNews, you give half an hour solid to sport each evening, you probably give an hour to weather forecasts each day. Can you also please give a dedicated daily half hour to the climate and ecological emergency, the most important thing humanity has to deal with. Thank you.

Muggins here has obviously forgotten (if he/she/they/it ever knew) that Brits drive on the left.
🚨BREAKING: Thousands of tractors are making their way towards London. It's estimated up to 5000 tractors will be showing up today. @UKLabour time to start listening.

Have to keep disinformation flowing. It's the lifeblood of fascism.

Happy to find av COP for the last week for our 3mo old @Viessmann Vitocal 150 ASHP is 6.4 and - a more solid benchmark - efficiency (heating+DHW) is 60.8% of the Carnot theoretical limit. Keen to know what DT flow control could achieve @jtsteadheating @Peter_Spurway #heatgeeks.

No need to worry about earthquakes when you know perfectly well the stuff will never be built. Just a short term ploy to divert attention from renewables #auspol.
Kristina Anastasi from Geoscience Aus. says despite recent earthquakes the LNP has “not” bothered to ask them for an analysis of the risks associated with any of the 7 sites where they want to stick nuclear reactors & that such an analysis could take around 2yrs to complete.

An interesting converse to this situation would be to passively pre-heat the inlet air. Has anyone tried this? #heatgeek @betateach.

Interesting subtleties of COP measurement with an ASHP: the last 2 days measured mean Carnot factor drifted low, ~55%; today it is back to more usual ~62%. We had a weak temperature inversion, inlet air to the heat pump likely colder than measured outside T. #heatgeek @betateach.
