He didn’t post the video of American aliens illegally entering another country and murdering 165 children on his instructions though. That qualifies him as the worst president in history

How high can we go? Rough calcs suggest we've spent an extra $500m or so on petrol and diesel in the last month. That's about the same as the monthly salary for 80,000 full-time jobs. Real prices (image 2) now heading to the moon. Popular destination at the moment I hear.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes? That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

It wasn’t so bad when the smart woke people were running shit now was it

Proud of NZ overwhelmingly opposing the Treaty Principles Bill introduced by unpleasant reactionary destructive minority politicians.
