Conservative Anxiety Peaks Ahead of Crucial Local Elections

Not even one Diane Abbott comment. -
"Only a climate change alarmist would talk about the nutritional value of rice." I have heard climate change "alarmists" accused of many nonsensical practices, but this piece of lunacy takes take. You really don't have much use for science or data, do you? Is rice a good source of protein? "Rice, Oryza sativa, is the major staple food that provides a larger share of dietary energy for more of the population than other cereal crops. Moreover, rice has a significant amount of protein including four different fractions such as prolamin, glutelin, globulin, and albumin with different solubility characteristics. However, these proteins exhibit a higher amino acid profile, so they are nutritionally important and possess several functional properties. Compared with many other cereal grains, rice protein is hypoallergic due to the absence of gluten, and therefore it is used to formulate food for infants and gluten-allergic people. Furthermore, the availability makes rice an easily accessible protein source and it exhibits several activities in the human body which discernibly affect total health." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9370113/#:~:text=Moreover%2C rice has a significant,and possess several functional properties. Before you made your commen, dDid you even consider that it has been the staple food for many nations and empires for millennia ? And believe it or not, it is possible to include both rice and eggs in one's diet. It's not like you have to be a member of either Team Rice or Team Eggs. And I noticed you still have nothing to back up your claim that warming has boosted crops by 35% since 2000.

Feeling inventive today? How about this from the real world: And this is from the latest IPCC report: Regional changes in the intensity and frequency of climate extremes generally scale with global warming. New evidence strengthens the conclusion from the IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C (SR1.5) that even relatively small incremental increases in global warming (+0.5°C) cause statistically significant changes in extremes on the global scale and for large regions (high confidence). In particular, this is the case for temperature extremes (very likely), the intensification of heavy precipitation (high confidence) including that associated with tropical cyclones (medium confidence), and the worsening of droughts in some regions (high confidence). The occurrence of extreme events unprecedented in the observed record will rise with increasing global warming, even at 1.5°C of global warming. Projected percentage changes in frequency are higher for the rarer extreme events (high confidence). {11.1, 11.2, 11.3, 11.4, 11.6, 11.9, Cross-Chapter Box 11 https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1/downloads/report/IPCC_AR6_WGI_Chapter11.pdf Rising CO2 Levels Reduce Nutritional Value of Rice Higher concentrations of carbon dioxide are associated with reductions in protein and multiple key nutrients in rice, according to a new field study by an international team that included scientists from the University of Washington School of Public Health. The study, published today in Science Advances, shows for the first time that rice grown at concentrations of atmospheric CO2 expected by the end of this century has lower levels of four key B vitamins. The findings also support research from other field studies showing rice grown under higher CO2 concentrations has less protein, iron and zinc. https://sph.washington.edu/news-events/news/rising-co2-levels-reduce-nutritional-value-rice#:~:text=Higher concentrations of carbon dioxide,Washington School of Public Health.

False. This is like saying that if you live in a wooden house, you're living in a house made of fuel. It's only a fuel when it's burned. Those clothes and computers contained substances derived from petroleum. Petroleum and its derivatives are only fuels when they're burned.

Are you going to deny that you rejected reports of massive food shortage in Gaza by quoting contrary claims from the Cogat. And didn't you post a claim from the IDF blaming Gazans for not escorting supply trucks in Gaza when it turned out that Israel was killing policemen accompanying those trucks? I certainly don't have the time to track those statements down.

Heatwave and Climate Change Puts Pressure on Thailand

The battery has passed its real world tests with flying colors. That's why a 765 million dollar plant is now in the final phase of construction. This is a company who chief executive was in charge of battery development at Tesla. And it is not incumbent upon me to educate you. Why should I take hours or even days to paraphrase what is already on offer? I offered you a link to a thorough explanation of how their conclusions were arrived at. The simple takeaway is this: an M.I.T. study determined that to get to 100% renewables it would take a battery that costs $20 per kwh of capacity. To get to 95% renewables it would take a battery that costs $151 per kwh of capacity. At the time that article was written, even getting to $151 was considered to be improbable before the year 2030. Not only do lithium batteries now cost less than that, but at least one company has reached the $20 mark. -
Why not? For the time being it hasn't been banned from the West Bank. "The ban did not appear to affect the channel’s operations in the occupied West Bank or Gaza Strip, where Israel wields control but which are not sovereign Israeli territory." https://apnews.com/article/israel-aljazeera-hamas-gaza-war-eba9416aea82f505ab908ee60d1de5e4
