He used to wear an insane fro and slovenly clothes so people would think he was a genius. Now he wears suits hoping people will think he’s not a criminal.
According to estimates, PV including battery storage will be the cheapest energy source to develop for nearly every country in the world by the 2030s. Surely even the most determined doomsayers won’t go so far as to say we’ll “kill the planet” until then.
Except global warming, even if we went net zero today, is still gonna have temps rise for a long time. We’ll have to go net negative by a ton before we can reverse the effect.
Not to mention, cheap to make doesn’t imply full on adoption. Oil, gas and coal will still be in use around then. I’d love to be wrong here, but it costs more to change than to stick with what’s working.
The more pessimistic (already prior to this report unlikely!) projections of climate change are conditional on sustained heavy investment and development of fossil energy sources, which seems to me would make little sense if the alternative is significantly cheaper. So there’s now an even lower chance we’re in one of those truly apocalyptic timelines.
Cats provide the only movement - sliding between bright toys strewn across gardens, the collapsed rooves, the charred gaping skeletons of people’s homes.
A neighbour identified Danny’s body on the morning after the attack, but the family are still waiting for official confirmation that he is dead.
His half-brother, Lior Peri, was expecting him back in Tel Aviv the day before, but Danny decided to stay on an extra night.
Lior received a text message on Saturday morning, as the attack unfolded, saying: “S**t, big balagan [chaos] in the kibbutz.”
With hundreds of thousands of troops now ranged along the border, Israel is eyeing the next stage of this war - a major offensive operation inside Gaza, aimed at destroying Hamas.
The families of Israel’s hostages and missing are still frozen in the hours after the attack, left without answers, and caught between two different traumas: their nation’s and their own.

It took place on Boulevard d’Ypres, 5km (3 miles) from the stadium where Belgium was playing Sweden to qualify for the Euro 2024 football tournament.
He posted a video online saying he had killed people in the name of God and the prosecutor’s office believes he was inspired by the Islamic State group.
Belgian Interior Minister Annelies Verlinden told Flemish public broadcaster VRT that the automatic weapon found on him was the same as the one used in Monday’s attack.
Prime Minister Alexander De Croo, called Monday’s shooting “a harrowing act of terrorism” in a press conference on Tuesday, and prosecutors said the likely motive were the victims’ nationality.
The attack began at 19:00 on Monday (17:00 GMT), when a man opened fire in the north of the city centre.
Videos shared online showed a man on a scooter, dressed in an orange fluorescent jacket, pull up and start shooting passers-by.

Barry Green recounts the moment in June 1983 when the JET fusion laboratory in Oxford undertook its first experiment.
The chosen model was tokamak, which uses magnetic fields to confine the plasma - a hot, ionised gas - inside a vessel.
And the hope of producing enough energy to power homes remains a long way off - 59 MJ is only enough to boil about 60 kettles’ worth of water.
Joelle Mailloux is the JET science programme leader overseeing the third round of deuterium-tritium experiments which end on Saturday.
She says the key challenges they are focusing on are making the plasma more stable, spreading the power load and looking at improving materials in the reactor to withstand the conditions.
Paul Methven, STEP programme director at the UK Atomic Energy Agency, told the BBC: "On endeavours like this, you need to be simultaneously really ambitious and also realistic.

The UK will send surveillance aircraft and two Royal Navy ships to the eastern Mediterranean in plans “to support Israel", No 10 says.
The aircraft will begin patrols tomorrow to “track threats to regional stability such as the transfer of weapons to terrorist groups”.
The British armed forces will be on standby to “deliver practical support to Israel and partners in the region, and offer deterrence and assurance”, Downing Street said.
Under the plans, a Royal Navy task group will be moved to the area next week to support humanitarian efforts.
“Our military and diplomatic teams across the region will also support international partners to re-establish security and ensure humanitarian aid reaches the thousands of innocent victims of this barbaric attack from Hamas terrorists,” Mr Sunak said.
Defence Secretary Grant Shapps said the military aid “will be an undeniable display of the UK’s resolve to ensure Hamas’s terrorist campaign fails”.

Extraordinarily wet monsoons have made it easier for mosquitoes that carry the dengue virus to breed in dirty and stagnant water.
Dengue is endemic in tropical countries and outbreaks often occur in urban areas with poor sanitation that allow virus-carrying mosquitoes to multiply.
It used to be a seasonal disease in Bangladesh, but due to hotter and wetter monsoons brought about by climate change, it has been occurring more frequently since the first recorded outbreak in 2000.
Public health officials say the current wave of infections caught the country off guard, as it is caused by a stronger strain of the virus.
“Those concerned think that it may be a temporary disease, and that it will go away after a few days, so no effective or long-term measures are being taken,” he told the BBC Bengali service.
Hundreds of dengue patients have swarmed hospitals in the capital of Dhaka seeking treatment but most of the facilities are at overcapacity.
