The EU is taking Ireland to court over 'significant' (overwhelming) peat cutting still taking place. Yesterday, I interviewed a man who cuts turf professionally and this is what he said:
"Yes, we are selling more turf than last year," he says after freshly cutting tons of peat.
Took me 1 hour to #gimp all those photos!
Could this be from the most expensive energy bills in the world?

Why temperature records are being not only broken but smashed

The combined effects of a heat dome and climate change have brought extreme warmth to western Europe.

GROUND PRIVATE JETS.

If political leaders really want to protect people in this fossil fuel dependency crisis, they should start by tackling the most wasteful fuel use.

Ordinary drivers and communities should not be hit hardest while luxury emissions carry on as usual.

The Conversation U.S.May 24

John Deere won't let farmers repair their own tractors. The US Air Force can't fix its own fighter jets. These absurd situations stem from copyright protections designed to stop people from recording movies on VCRs 40 years ago, extended onto new technology.

Today’s bans on DIY repairs of everything from cell phones to tractors grew out of Hollywood’s fear of videotaping

Efforts to use technology to police copyright evolved into companies using copyright law to lock people out of repairing their own devices.
