@ciwf.org.ukReposted by @jamesgdyke.infoOctopuses sense light with their whole body & taste the world as they touch it. Yet there are few laws to protect them from factory farms.

@jamesgdyke.infoUS continues its descent into barbarism. No idea what sort of legal challenges await to try to stop this. Perhaps that's the objective, froth up the outrage and attempt to own the libs.
@jamesgdyke.infoProgress.
@jamesgdyke.infoThere you go again, making friends and influencing people :)

Either all software is dead or the US copyright laws are about to receive an update.

@ianhall.bsky.socialReposted by @jamesgdyke.infoOAE isn’t as simple as “add alkalinity, remove CO2”
This perspective argues for a more nuanced, site-specific view: local carbonate chemistry, sediments, ecological effects and governance all shape outcomes.
Promising? Maybe. Simple or settled? Definitely not.
@davidheniguk.bsky.socialReposted by @jamesgdyke.info"a new mental climate". "a culture of resentment". Interesting and thought-provoking beyond France, what is belonging and society in today's extensively inter-connected world, and do politicians have answers - not obviously.
@janrosenow.bsky.socialReposted by @jamesgdyke.infoNEW RESEARCH: Pakistan's solar boom is one of the world's most impressive renewable deployment stories.
It is also a story about a broken grid, high electricity prices and inequality.

@jamesgdyke.infoAnother take is that the UK used the prodigious oil & gas reserves in the North Sea to fund large tax cuts & stimulate financial trading & services in London & South East England. Once that was spaffed away the neoliberal response was austerity. Compare that approach with Norway's.
