Ministers suppressed a report after intelligence chiefs warned that climate change could drive mass migration to Britain and trigger a nuclear war in Asia.
The study, entitled Global Biodiversity Loss, Ecosystem Collapse and National Security, was put together with the help of the joint intelligence committee, which oversees MI5 and MI6.
Initially due to be published last autumn, it was blocked by No 10 for being too negative. (...)
And a government for hire and a combat site
Left of west and coming in a hurry
With the Furies breathing down your neck
... And I've been in a restaurant with Peter Buck twice in the last week...
Ministers suppressed a report after intelligence chiefs warned that climate change could drive mass migration to Britain and trigger a nuclear war in Asia.
The study, entitled Global Biodiversity Loss, Ecosystem Collapse and National Security, was put together with the help of the joint intelligence committee, which oversees MI5 and MI6.
Initially due to be published last autumn, it was blocked by No 10 for being too negative.
When the government was forced to release the report after a freedom of information request, it published an abridged version that outlined a ârealistic possibilityâ that the decline of forests and glacier-fed rivers would lead to âglobal competition for foodâ beginning in the 2030s. (...)
Too bad that we are retreating from this sector and leaving progress to the rest of the world.
I've had a bad renter in our place, They have burdened the system during the hot months / humid storms a lot and caused more usage than normal. I haven't seen the final tally, but I expect I'll have to pay ~$50 for their extravagance. If we were dependent on the grid it would have been close to $700. Solar works.
The largest electric utility in our state is asking for yet another rate increase. They say the want to add two new, natural gas-fired units at an already existing plant. We already pay well above the national average for electricity.

The global average concentration of the gas surged by 3.5 parts per million to 424ppm in 2024, the largest increase since modern measurements started in 1957, according to the report by the World Meteorological Organization.
Several factors contributed to the leap in CO2, including another year of unrelenting fossil fuel burning despite a pledge by the worldâs countries in 2023 to âtransition awayâ from coal, oil and gas. Another factor was an upsurge in wildfires in conditions made hotter and drier by global heating. Wildfire emissions in the Americas reached historic levels in 2024, which was the hottest year yet recorded.
However, scientists are concerned about a third factor: the possibility that the planetâs carbon sinks are beginning to fail. About half of all CO2 emissions every year are taken back out of the atmosphere by being dissolved in the ocean or being sucked up by growing trees and plants. But the oceans are getting hotter and can therefore absorb less CO2 while on land hotter and drier conditions and more wildfires mean less plant growth.
