Comment Re:...but Trump Says (Score 1) 70

If the Ember trend (solar+wind continuing to meet new electricity demand and strongly displace fossil generation) continues and scales up aggressively only in electricity, then by 2100 we’d likely avoid ~0.2–0.35 C of warming relative to a BAU electricity case — a useful and meaningful improvement, but not a return to pre-industrial “normal.” To actually reverse global temperature to pre-industrial levels would require removing thousands of gigatonnes of CO (net) — a feat that, at realistic removal rates, would take centuries to millennia.

Comment Upcoming? (Score 4, Insightful) 50

Upcoming? The iPhone 16e was released last year. These are schematics for a phone that has been out for a year.

The problem with this document's release is that it's technical information that was supposed to be kept confidential forever.

I'm assuming this is just an error on the FCC's part, and that they automatically released it after a year. Though with the current administration, Hanlon's razor is getting harder and harder to apply.

Comment Falsehoods and Greenwash (Score 1) 31

This Guardian piece leans heavily on the growth of big trees in pristine Amazon patches to paint a picture of resilience, but it’s misleading. Most of the forest is fragmented or deforested, and large areas are now net carbon emitters, not sinks. Highlighting a small subset of intact trees while downplaying widespread degradation risks greenwashing the crisis, giving readers a false sense that the Amazon is largely healthy and climate-positive. Protecting tiny pockets of mature forest does not offset the massive carbon losses from agriculture, fires, and road expansion.

Comment Re:People who hire illegals will still hire illega (Score 0, Troll) 80

The thing is only about 10 % of what Daily Mail rhetoric labels Illegal "Boat People" are as such, the actual number of illegals is incredibly small - the rest are legitimate asylum seekers coming to this vile racist country out of sheer desperation. I certainly wouldnt come here out of choice.
Dont fall for the propaganda that is shaping UK policy.

Comment Racist Daily Mail Rhetoric Now Shapes UK Policy (Score -1, Troll) 80

Keir Starmer dresses himself up as a safe pair of hands. But his digital ID scheme shows his true face: a weak, authoritarian stooge dancing to the Daily Mail’s tune.

He claims it will stop “boat people.” Nonsense.

The majority crossing the Channel are genuine refugees - Syrians, Afghans, Eritreans with asylum success rates as high as 99%.

Starmer knows this, yet still scapegoats the vulnerable to look “tough.”

What will digital ID really do?

It will turn Britain into a surveillance state where people of colour and migrants are harassed, stopped, and forced to prove their right to exist.

It’s not about security. It’s about institutionalising racism.

Starmer isn’t protecting Britain.

He’s protecting his headlines.

He isn’t standing up to right-wing media.

He’s taking dictation from them.

This isn’t leadership. It’s cowardice.

It exposes Starmer for what he really is: a hollow opportunist willing to trade freedom for fear.
