Great Britain has just gone a whole week without using coal to generate electricity | @drsimevans @tomoprater bit.ly/304amDj
@DrSimEvans @tomoprater In 2019 to date, Great Britain has had 1,139 hours without coal-fired electricity.

That's the equivalent of 47 days – or one third of all hours in the year so far.
@DrSimEvans @tomoprater The amount of electricity generated from coal is down 90% in five years.

Coal now supplies less than 5% of the electricity generated in the UK.

It was 40% as recently as 2012.

At 9pm - for the first time in 12yrs - BBC One will broadcast a 60-min documentary about climate change presented by Sir David Attenborough.

It covers the science, impacts and potential solutions of climate change, all of which Carbon Brief has covered in depth...
Last October, Carbon Brief exclusively reported the news that the film had been commissioned by the BBC...

Earlier in the year, we tracked down the 2004 lecture that Attenborough personally attended which finally convinced him that he needed to speak out about climate change...

Gary the Garbage Cat has always been quite skittish but he’s evidently decided I can be trusted. He comes to my yard, shouts at me, and lets me scritch him in exchange for dinner.
I am in my bedroom on the other side of the house and I can hear him yowling. It’s breaking my heart not to let him in but I have three cats of my own who would beat him up.
Alex and I are going to build him a shelter for the yard.

▶️Why couldn't they be more creative in counter protest? Always calling people who disagree with the Sino-centrsm as 'traitors'. 😩👇😖

💡'hàn jiān' (漢奸) original meaning in Chinese, someone who betrays 'Han' dynasty.

❓Han Dynasty had long gone.

Now, every country knows there're 'thuggish students' from this 'great country,' calling people ' hàn jiān'(Han traitors'

They could've been more creative.

#OTD 3 Commando Brigade leave Portsmouth for the #Falklands aboard SS Canberra.
A section of BBC News from 9th April 1982: the Soviet Union describe the UK’s task force as "an immediate threat to international peace"

Fascinating to watch, the rest can be found here:
A CIA brief from 9th April states "the Argentines are reportedly lengthening the air strip in Port Stanley to accommodate A-4, MIRAGE, PUCARA, and C-130 aircraft and reinforcing the island with additional troops and air defence equipment"

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...
I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)
Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."

(There's an alternate "diner" version I can't find anywhere online)
