A bit of positive news from the Carbon Brief; UK emissions fell by 3.6% in 2024, the lowest since 1872 - and caused largely by coal use dropping to its lowest level since 1666 (the year of the Great Fire of London):

One thing I particularly like about my Meta Glasses, is that I no longer need to go to a thing to determine its state.
Before, if I wanted to know if the curtains were closed on a window at the other end of our open plan house, I had to go there and find out. Now, I can stand by the front-door and ask.
It's the little things sometimes 🙌

Remember that the person who filed the PR may be doing so against their better judgement. If so, a "thumbs down" may show them they're not alone in thinking it's a terrible idea, but can I gently suggest not leaving hateful comments just in case?
