>Once all upstream stages were factored in – extraction, piping to a processing facility, compression from gas into liquid form, shipping, decompression back to gas and burning for energy – he estimated the total climate pollution from LNG was 33% greater than that from coal over a 20-year period. >This is not an entirely new idea – previous studies have suggested the gas industry is dirtier than often claimed – but it is nevertheless a potentially extraordinary finding
>In 2023, the hottest year ever recorded, preliminary findings by an international team of researchers show the amount of carbon absorbed by land has temporarily collapsed. The final result was that forest, plants and soil – as a net category – absorbed almost no carbon.

Maybe. I voted again the Republic (bit for The Voice) not because I'm a monarchist but the proposal for how it was to be setup was bullshit. Now we have to endure that shitball King visiting, so there is that.

Rees bluntly states, “the human enterprise is effectively subsuming the ecosphere” and “wide-spread societal collapse cannot be averted — collapse is not a problem to be solved, but rather the final stage of a cycle to be endured.”
>A government briefing paper estimates telecommunications companies spent almost $8 million in 2020 repairing damage caused by 5G conspiracy theorists, including replacing towers and other communications infrastructure >The vandalism was one of at least 11 similar attacks in NSW this year. **Vandals remove nuts from the bolts that secure the towers to the ground, causing them to eventually topple.** WTF ???

>What we have discovered is that even after almost five years, the trajectory is still in reverse. The impacts are accumulating and it hasn’t stabilised.” Well, that was another horrific read :( We lived just down the road at the time and had visited the area to hike and swim many times in the years prior.

>Ismail Mohammad pushes a buggy down the centre of a narrow road in east Bristol. His two sons stay close as vehicles could come from either direction at any moment. “There are cars [parked] on the pavement. We have to go on the road,” says Mohammad as he hurries to the boys’ primary school in Easton. “It’s dangerous because cars sometimes come fast through here.” What in tarnation ? What a sorry state of affairs. Good luck to the council ! >Bryher has little sympathy for drivers who claim they must park on pavements on narrow roads. “You need to park somewhere else instead … there are enough [spaces] for everyone to park in the city,” he says. “It’s just that you might have to park further away and you might have to consider whether you need a car.

Might be tricky to find, so if you want user replaceable batteries in a Mouse, maybe get a USB AA/AAA battery charger and use any of the many mice with AA (Or AAA) batteries. Recharge the batteries by plugging in the USB charger when they get low ?

Anywhere "completely safe"? No! Are some places safer then others, of course. Off flood plains, not near rivers, (if you live behind a levee you will be flooded, eventually) protected from bushfires, away from SLR, out of the tropical zone, not hot, not dry.
It's why I moved to Tasmania, on a small hill, 250m ASL on good soil, in a wet area, with zero bush fire risk.

I don't feel George Monbiot put his case well. If we take Australia as the example, without the incremental changes we've individually already made its hard to believe that the bigger things we are actually doing now would be as uncontroversial as they are.
I don't agree, your argument is there "is bigger things we're doing now". I don't agree with that premises at all, we're not doing bigger things... at all. What were doing is green washing within the orthodox neo liberal order. Which I think is George's point.
Aa an example , aircraft bookings have increased some 20% from last year, we need aircraft bookings to be zero. We need private cars being banned, we'll need the removal of national boundaries or suffer the rise in violence and subsequent enviomental damage that's caused as billions flee the tropical zone. They will flee becase they must.
Another example, The Olympics should be banned and yet we're inviting 10s of thousands of people to Australia in 2034. What we're doing it banning straws at the events and putting a recycle logo on a cup instead.
We're expanding Melbourne, Hobart & Brisbane aiports and have built a new one in Sydney, they should all be closed. A new football stadium in Hobart is a laughable mockery in the face of a climate emergency.
Solutions to Climate Change and the enviomental crisis require a complete change to the social, political and economic way we live upon the Earth, what we're doing is rearranging the deck chairs.
We need to ban cars and flying but what we're doing is banning plastic bags and chopping down forests to make paper bags.
All too much to expect ? Well, that's the point and why we're not doing anything, beside incremental tokeism and why it will only get worse.

If you mean tabs then there's a setting to keep tabs are a restart
That's never worked for me. If I close FF and reopen its starts fresh with.noting open. If I close the OS, and restart only then does FF reopen all the tabs.
I am currently on LMDE but the same process happened when I was on Windows 10 and Linux Mint . I have the setting selected to restore previous open tabs but it's just never worked across many years, many updates and multiple OS's.

Cop31 is a chance to redefine ourselves from climate laggard to global leade
No it isn't, such foolish, ney stupid thinking.
The entire COP process has been co-opted by fossil fuel interests and is now irrelevant , we're a massive exporter of fossil fuels and have zero interest in moving foward to zero emissons, voters will never tolerate not being able to fly and told they can't drive cars, stop owing meat eating pets etc
If we wanted to be "leaders" we'd not be holding the Olympics in Australia, not be spending billions expanding Brisbane, Melbourne and Hobart airports, we'd have abandoned all new road projects and only be building PT and AT infrastructure and be closing coal mines and gas extraction and redoing society for low energy dependence, while starting managed abandonment of coastlines and Northern Australia.
Just stick to denial and useless tokenism with a few solar panels and ecars like other developed countries and stop with the hypocrisy.

Boyd said: “There’s no place in the climate negotiations for fossil-fuel companies. There is no place in the plastic negotiations for plastic manufacturers. It just absolutely boggles my mind that anybody thinks they have a legitimate seat at the table.
“It has driven me crazy in the past six years that governments are just oblivious to history. We know that the tobacco industry lied through their teeth for decades. The lead industry did the same. The asbestos industry did the same. The plastics industry has done the same. The pesticide industry has done the same.”
