    I'm beginning to think that separating recyclables is some sort of weird ritual we've all been doing to appease the Warming Gods. Unsuccessfully, I might add.

    In much of North America and Europe, everyone eating strictly local would mean vast swathes of forest would have to be cut for farmland. If strictly organic, the clearcutting would have to be even bigger. Funny how complications like these never make it into such articles.

    In leaf-eating monkeys, not humans. The same zoologist cut all meat, dairy and eggs from their diet, feeding them exclusively on leaves and primate pellets. Guess what? It turns out zoo monkeys and humans have different nutritional requirements. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Maybe my next debate should be with , who says of oil companies “they’re tobacco” and facing their “death knell.” I say they are world’s greatest humanitarians with an unrivaled product and a bright future.

    Insanity. Fracking has made the US the world leader in oil and natural gas production. Created trillions in wealth for producers and consumers. Made us less dependent on the Middle East. *Reduced* our carbon emissions. Fracking is American ingenuity at it's very best. 🇺🇸

    “I am not able to arrange any divestment at short notice. But I can arrange for the gas central heating in college to be switched off,” St John’s College principal bursar Adrew Parker tells students demanding divestment from oil companies.

    This report is nothing short of a totalitarian nightmare. I'm honestly staggered.

    I decided it was time to write something about this 1619 business. It's false history, but the purveyors will never acknowledge it -- as if Civil Rights is about alternative facts. via

    The government is upset you’re not watching enough of their tax-funded “Canadian content,” so they're talking about forcing it to be displayed more prominently on Netflix. And if that fails, maybe they can just use that contraption from Clockwork Orange.

    The popularity of astrology is one of the few things that makes me feel really despondent about current culture. It seems such low hanging fruit for even a basic amount of self-skepticism. Can any astrology supporters explain why they believe it?

    Well, if performing these displays of woke conformity are what the moral arbiters demand, cynical pandering life this is what we'll get—or worse, we'll get politicians who sincerely believe that their marching in a pride parade is brave and important.

    1/The announcement 10 years ago today of the "magical" iPad was clearly a milestone in computing. It was billed to be the “next” computer. For me, managing Windows, just weeks after the launch of Microsoft’s "latest creation" Windows 7, it was a as much a challenge as magical.

    I'm looking for powerful stories about how energy policy affects *individuals* positively or negatively. We often hear data about populations, but it’s hard to connect emotionally with the data unless we know stories about individuals. Any recommended links or other resources?
