Twitter Web App : Heat Geek Chris Clarke ℝ𝕚𝕔𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕕 𝕃𝕠𝕨𝕖𝕤 Energy Policy Group University of Exeter I always wonder why people think posting a GIF is a killer argument.

Twitter Web App : Heat Geek Chris Clarke ℝ𝕚𝕔𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕕 𝕃𝕠𝕨𝕖𝕤 Energy Policy Group University of Exeter No, but the decisions have to be made in the light of information we have. The IPCC suggests that unabated emissions will reduce the rate of improvement of human welfare somewhat. Wrecking the energy system will ruin lives.

Android : Chris Clarke ℝ𝕚𝕔𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕕 𝕃𝕠𝕨𝕖𝕤 Energy Policy Group University of Exeter Heat Geek Slight problem with the article is that the cost of wind power in the UK is high and not really falling. This is the levelised cost of every UK offshore windfarm, based on hard data. There is no doubt.

Twitter Web App : Andrew Neil This is actually a shocking tweet from a Justice Sec who has a quasi judicial role within the Scottish legal system. He is publicly intervening to support a witness in a formal Parliamentary investigation, about a topic that has had 2 court cases to date. Surely not allowed?
