The New York Times used video clips collected by tourists to reconstruct the glacial collapse that caused the horrific flooding in Nepal and Tibet. Have never seen footage of an ice cap in the world's "third pole" shattering and avalanching down. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/28/w...

A Scottish Tory peer has spoken out in defence of using the N-word. Nigel Biggar argued in a blogpost that it is 'stupidly unjust' for people to be punished for using the N-word if they did not mean it in a racist way. Read more: www.thenational.scot/news/2...

It's been exactly 3 days since WIRED called our group buy "a Costco for heat pumps" and our inboxes have not recovered. If you're looking to upgrade to a heat pump, check out heatpumpgroupbuy.com. We can't promise a $1.50 hot dog, but we can promise a pretty darn good deal on a heat pump.

If we build enough clean power and grid capacity to accommodate winter peaks from electrification of space heat in colder climates (like most of Europe and North America), we'll have more than enough capacity for carbon-free air conditioning for all. If we win heat, we get AC pretty much for free.

Renewables are a structural hedge against fossil fuel shocks. In power markets, the more often wind, solar, hydro and nuclear cover demand, the fewer the hours in which gas sets the marginal price, and the weaker the link between global gas markets and domestic electricity costs.
