Oof. An extra 0.2W/m^2 doesn't sound like a lot if you don't know what these numbers look like, but if you consider that the total amount of energy hitting the top of the atmosphere from the sun is only about 1,360W/m^2, just this heat source is equivalent to about an extra seventieth of a percent of the total solar input being retained.

Most of the original input doesn't reach the ground anyway. If you take it as a percentage of the amount that reaches the ground (342W/m^2) it's about a seventeenth of one percent.

That's... um... quite a lot of extra heat.

It is foolish and self-indulgent for the anti-Starmer left to split the Labour vote

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/26/it-is-foolish-and-self-indulgent-for-the-anti-starmer-left-to-split-the-labour-vote

It is just so bad of us. The Guardian clearly believes that we should all (across the whole of the UK) vote for Labour, whether through policies and proposals disgust and repel us or not. Vote for bad or worse….

Why the Scottish vote matters to Starmer and Sunak

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/may/24/scottish-vote-can-markedly-alter-labour-tory-balance-in-commons

The muppets on the #Guardian might consider that voting for parties that care about Scotland (welfare, housing, the SNHS, the two child limit) might also swing voters. They might (Labour) consider NOT parachuting in candidates from England with no knowledge of their constituencies.

#Labour and the #Conservatives do not care about Scotland. Just bums on seats, and resources.

Particularly egregious misuse of stats from the Guardian: "Although more than a third of the women in the study had been sexually inactive during the past month, fewer than half expressed dissatisfaction with their sex lives."

Sooo... 1/3 inactive, >1/3 dissatisfied. And yet the article is trying to suggest it's at the other end of the scale by framing it as "fewer than half" and behaving as if it's surprising?

Britain’s ‘most dangerous’ years lie ahead, warns Sunak. It’s cheap politics from a floundering PM

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/13/sunak-most-dangerous-britain-values

Comment is neither free or easy on the Gruaniad. I notice that Jenkins (a Brexit supporting unionist) failed to mention that Scots were included in Sunaks list of threats.

So much for free comment, and another reason I dropped my contribution to this SE England rag.

The Guardian view on John Swinney’s Scotland: a new start but also more of the same

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/09/the-guardian-view-on-john-swinneys-scotland-a-new-start-but-also-more-of-the-same

The Guardian gotta Guardian - ‘absolute’ facts maybe but they shy away from any serious analysis of how in many areas Scotland is doing better than the other three countries - whoops, in their words, two countries and a principality) in many areas.

Unionism with a faux-socialist coat and stinking just as badly as without the coat.
