This Tory conference is a total shitsunami of the maddest, nastiest, most unrepentant, authoritarian nonsense we’ve seen so far. This isn’t a party working out where they went wrong. They’re flicking Vs at the starting line and goose-stepping off in the other direction.

JFC! Even if we can eliminate all CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels with carbon dioxide removal (CDR) or carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) (we can't; not even close), we shouldn't keep setting carbon on fire because air pollution from combustion will still kill millions of people every year.

A tweet from Matthew Yglesias, a very unserious person:

As a very serious person, I'm confused about this.

Isn't that obviously the point? If you can make carbon capture work, then you can keep burning fossil fuels and not worry about the climate impact — which would be good because climate change is bad.

Twitter, Meta, and Google are all now suppressing the JD Vance dossier. Given that the executives of these companies gave explicit assurances to a Rep. house committee that they would not do this, it's clear they'll only do this for Rep. candidates and not Dems. Phenomenal system we have here.
