"Ask most people, and the image of wind turbines as bird killers still persists, often amplified by anti-renewable rhetoric. But if you look at the hard data, a different story emerges. It turns out that while wind turbines do kill birds, they are statistically insignificant compared to the bigger killers we have in our cities and in our bedrooms. In fact, when you factor in climate change, wind power might actually help birds."

Data not only shows the relative impact of wind turbines on bird deaths, but also gives us the insight to reduce their impact further.

Dear @ShabanaMahmood,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

I get asked to show up to book clubs, online and offline. Here is why from now on the answer is always "no." If you think this might have something to do with "AI" ruining yet another thing for everyone, you're absolutely 100% correct.

Message to all media commentators:

If you're now saying, 'well, of course, the Greens policies will now be subject to some proper scrutiny'.... let me suggest you subject Reform UK Ltd to the same rigorous scrutiny, not keep giving them a free pass on their various (and objectionable) policy stances!

But, lets be clear, attacking the Green Party of England & Wales while waving Reform UK Ltd through scrutiny, actually plays to the Greens' analysis of politics.

I've not been on here much. Accidentally fell down some Instagram holes staying in touch with my climbing gym.

Instagram is like putting your brain in the sea, only to have the motion of the waves turn it into a smooth pebble.

Need mastodon to make my brain bumpy again.
