Deeply misleading headline from the BBC "Energy grid investment of £28bn to push up household bills" with a photo showing an electricity pylon
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp84yymxpjno

Only more than halfway down the article do they mention that 64% of the money will be spent on fossil gas infrastructure, which will become a stranded asset when/if we fully decarbonise our energy supply... 🤬

The cartoon shows a scientist at a lectern talking on six different years:
1990 "So, this climate change thing could be a problem ..."
1995 "Climate change: Definitely a problem"
2001 "Yep, we should really be getting on with sorting this out pretty soon ..."
2007 "Look, sorry to sound like a broken record here ..."
2013 "We really have checked, and we're not making this up"
2019 "is this thing on?" Scientist tapping the microphone

The six years depicted were all years in which IPCC reports were published — The cartoon shows a scientist at a lectern talking on six different years: 1990 "So, this climate change thing could be a problem ..." 1995 "Climate change: Definitely a problem" 2001 "Yep, we should really be getting on with sorting this out pretty soon ..." 2007 "Look, sorry to sound like a broken record here ..." 2013 "We really have checked, and we're not making this up" 2019 "is this thing on?"

Cartoon in two panels
The upper panel, labelled “5th extinction” shows a group of fearful dinosaurs looking up at an approaching meteor.

In the lower panel, labelled “6th extinction”, the dinosaurs are replaced by modern animals also looking up fearfully, but this time the meteor is replaced by a fat, wealthy man, smoking a large cigar and clutching a bundle of money. — Cartoon in two panels The upper panel, labelled “5th extinction” shows a group of fearful dinosaurs looking up at an approaching meteor.

Met Office should name storms after fossil fuel companies, say public [corrected]

The Guardian and the Met Office need reminding that a large section of the public DO understand the threats of global warming and that we cannot just stick our heads in the sand!
