Climate change denial is a very well-funded industry.

Double.diamond party 7 ,had a taste as a kid, no likey ,stuck with the chocolate liqueur, not the gin one that a ladies drink😂

Don't worry postman there was plenty of people in the 70s saying that the world would end ,in 10 years.40 odd years later people still belive the expensive scam😂

We need to tackle all areas of climate action. Apart from anything else, renewables give us energy security and the likelihood of cheaper energy and potential technical advances for green industry even if we've missed out on wind turbines and probably solar panels. So we need targets to continue carbon reduction, they may well be missed but there is no point in having targets that are easily achievable (to bring it back to football, who would be happy with a target that said we were aiming to avoid relegation?)

OI, your point about carbon reduction is reasonably balanced but it reads like you've spectacularly missed the point. Water and food security being primary areas for 'climate investment' if we're being rational, rather than VRE or minute adjustments in the smaller economies that can afford them. Top marks to anyone who can quote the UK's percentage contribution to global carbon emissions. Portugal, ahaha.

We need party 7s to come back and get transported back to the 70s

Lucky we need water to survive so we should be pleased if water levels rise a foot or two and flood several countries and a significant part of the UK.

Lucky we need carbon dioxide to survive. And plants and trees thrive 😂

Whilst all countries need to take carbon reduction seriously, we are actually doing reasonably well compared to others. Only Sweden, Switzerland, Portugal and France are doing better amongst 'first world' countries for carbon emission per capita. No excuse for resting on our laurels but also we shouldn't be beating ourselves up too much. Oil producers (including USA) and Australia are amongst the worst.

Carshalton, I think Ali is still recovering from surgery.

RIP John Mayall, atrue groundbreaker of the blues in the UK

Leddrede, why is further proof of what we already know so worrying? Far greater concern is the deluded group think around 'the global energy transition' and the ill considered, inflationary and ineffective way it's being approached.

Airports are an outlier. Entirely correct that if you behave like a security threat inside an airport then security properly fucks you up. Good kicking from the police is the least you should expect, provided you are indeed posing a genuine threat. Lucky they didn't get tazed or shot. Plenty of other places to act like a prick.

RiP, John Mayall.

Surprised AAH isn’t in the Iraq squad

Let's hope it warms up soon,save on them expensive net zero energy bills

I'd say the most worrying news of the day is the covering up of the stabbed soldier being clased as mental health rather than the terrorist attack that it clearly is.

I see Toby Sibbick has been signed by Wigan, thereby rescuing him from Scottish football 😀

Olympic football that should be

Iraq vs Ukraine on Eurosport now frogs vs yanks later moly-if football already

goal disallowed scotty

Argentina v Morocco suspended after Argentina equalised in the 16th minute (!) of additional time. Apparently still 3 minutes to go and will be played behind closed doors.

He was okay defensively; still learning. To be honest, if we play wing backs I want them to be attacking (hate what can be five at the back) so he's being given the opportunity to try a role. In that formation the only other option is as a striker. Not my favoured position for him and we already have four. Wide on both sides is where I'm most concerned about this team. It needs the like's of Sasu to take the chance.

BTW was reading our OS, the South London Press, about Jackson talking about how Sasu played as wing-back. Why on earth are we playing an inexperienced winger/forward as a wing-back against a vastly superior side. Isn't that asking for disaster?
