Down’ards win 2025 Royal Shroetide footy 1:0

Downers are still 1 goal up with 1hr to go!

The Fourth UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA4) is due to be laid in Parliament by the UK Government in January 2027 Find out how you can be part of the process submitting more targeted information to inform the Technical Report 👇 bit.ly/4ahnVni @thecccuk.bsky.social

Yet another reason not to own a Tesla. Perhaps the feature should be called Full Self Crashing? Self-driving CyberCab anyone? apple.news/A9xgw4r6C...

Ashbourne Downers are 1:0 up to the Uppers at half time in their annual football match which finishes at 10pm tonight having started yesterday at 2pm. Warning the Swift could be delayed or will be using alternative routes! Follow the match live on www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/local-n...

When will we be able to break our link between gas and renewables? If more batteries are needed we already have them in our EVs they simply need reverse connection to the grid as with VW IDs.

The cost of reaching net zero in the UK by 2050 is now predicted to be just 0.2% of GDP (about ÂŁ4 billion per year). Spread this far and wide. It reveals Reform and the Conservatives' opposition to net zero for being 'too expensive' as just plain wrong.

Great idea is there a science and technology equivalent other than New Model Institute for Technology and Engineering (NMITE) based in Hereford?

Just when I was blaming a changed NHS contract or a Cerner bug in the NHS e-referral software, blocking the ability to register a patient from an English NHS Hospital Trust to a Welsh Hospital it turns out it is either a cyber attack by Putin or one of Owain Glyndŵr’s men!

@hereford-fc.bsky.social Looking forward to seeing the grand planetary parade and a few goals for The Bulls v Bucks at Edgar St tonight ;-)

Interesting ManU financials causing laying off of another 150 staff include ÂŁ1b losses for servicing the Glazier loan- makes one wonder how this will all end up. COUR

I hadn’t realised (according to CND) that the US were strengthening their bases in the U.K. prior to moving more nuclear bombs in. As Trumpian “peace” is being declared throughout the world it would be good to encourage international nuclear disarmament not dissemination. cnduk.org/resources/mi...

We love this book and can't wait for our event with Gabriel Weston on 7th March in #Cheltenham Gabriel will be in conversation with Sam Guglani 'Exceptional, beautiful and absolutely absorbing' Chris van Tulleken Tickets here: ticketsource.co.uk/rossiterbook... @jonathancape.bsky.social

How many countries are right about the biggest risk they face? Only four by my counting... The climate crisis is an existential threat and the real war is (already) the one for our survival… as a species.

I suspect it is the easy option to ignore the polluters.

Perhaps a clue to understanding possible changes in Santa Ana winds that helped drive this January's Californian wildfires:

Good to hear on #Wakeupformoney @BBC5live that air ticket prices are rising but we need green fuel prices to drop (by unlocking U.K. electricity from global gas prices) to encourage the use of greener transport.

@Ofwat @wakeuptomoney Why are domestic customers and ratepayers having to pay for increased charges caused by chicken farms and other factories who are polluting our rivers? Surely those polluting should be the ones picking up our increased bills?

Our PM & others wanting peace between Ukraine and Russia should be asking the UN to send a peace keeping force. We will and can not be trusted to do that (remember NI). The world economy will then improve and we can use the money to help the sick, poor and exiled in our overheating world.

JOB OPPS: Want to work with me and a crack team, including Caroline Lucas? The @climatemajority.bsky.social has two roles to fill. If they are not for you, please help us get the best possible people applying by sharing. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Great to see @parkinsonsuk.bsky.social and @parkinsonseurope.bsky.social sharing the James Parkinsons Tulip in their logos and presumably sharing the European’s strategy pillars and research resources parkinsonseurope.org/app/uploads/....

The XB-1 aircraft went supersonic without a sonic boom - New Scientist. All they need now is powerful batteries powered by green electricity. Sustainable aircraft fuel still would involve burning carbon and releasing harmful greenhouse gases which are disrupting life on earth.

Presumably products made by the #Hereford Special Metals factory are exempt from the US aluminium and steel tariffs as they specialise in nickel alloys rather than aluminium and steel?

Please can we try to keep the “Talking Bull” fanzine going, even if just on BlueSky, with an occasional independent article like this? Anyone know why there is a Quinton Rd in Needham Market! Top marks to anyone who gets there - hopefully you will witness a good reaction to yesterday’s game.

All good industries quality assess all their products in order to maintain standards & satisfy guarantees. The Heath Service however doesn’t routinely ask patients to record their quality of life or health status before & after clinical events in a standard way in order to monitor patient’s health.

mooc.utas.edu.au/course/20278 I learnt today that Parkinson’s is the fastest growing degenerative neurological disease in the world - the numbers having doubled in the last 20yrs. I have joined this MOOC to learn more.

The weather in Herefordshire today was dry and bright so according to the rhyme: If Candlemas Day be dry and fair, the half o' winter's to come and mair.(Still to bite) If it be wet and foul, the half o' winter's gane at Yule. We had pancakes today but had already taken down our advent decorations!

Ellie what was Ed’s reply to your question? It would also be interesting to know how many flights from Heathrow are taken for holidays and how many for business? Whom should I ask?

www.worldweatherattribution.org/climate-chan... Scientists like science speak an international language which when it comes to climate science is particularly poignant . Half of the scientists who were involved with this study were from USA.

Chancellor plan(t)s a new runway at Heathrow - but we only need a flat bit of grass or solar panels and then electric planes/drones can boost/float our economy. apple.news/Asijth-8RSkS...

King Canute, by the sea, made his stand, “Stop the waves!” he declared to the sand. But the tide carried through, Proving nature was true— A lesson in power quite grand.

In 4yrs time will Trump and Musk be trying to seek asylum on Mars?

Trump needs to know that climate change will not respect his borders. His mantra should be “Drill Baby Burn” Windmills are beautiful and green electricity is cheap and the way to help the American economy.

RIP Denis and his great bicycle kick.

“Of all things of thought, poetry is closest to thought.” (Hannah Arendt) Arendt justly celebrated as a philosopher-essayist; lesser known as a poet, but poetry was “the breath that…keeps her work alive”, in this brilliant @daeganmiller.bsky.social essay. www.poetryfoundation.org/articles/164...

Great plan to enable AI in the NHS and public services.This should make us healthier&safer &boost our economy.GPs have been aware of the advantages of intelligent IT for 40 years. Easy wins must be implemented if suppliers want to compete & exist in future.They must listen to the users and patients

Abysmal news for the River Wye—already close to ecological death from intensive poultry production—& other catchments. Labour came to power promising to heal Britain’s river network; today the Env Sec singles out chicken producers & promises laxer regulation. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

As the local building sites rubbish heap gets larger we probably need to include do..and some small builders… Hopefully his new neighbours will encourage him to recycle rather than burn the hard wood pallets, plastics etc?
