According to the WSJ, at least 20 LNG carriers about half the available global fleet – are trapped in the Persian Gulf, with daily freight costs soaring as demand from Asia surges, according to ship brokers. www.zerohedge.com/markets/situ...
Operation Enduring Fuckup
is this a solution?
I've a huge soft spot for MacNeice, not just because of his wonderful poetry, but also because he's buried about 100 ft from my Da, Granny, Step-Mum, 2 sets of aunts and uncles and sundry great aunts, uncles and distant cousins. There were a wild amount of McKeags in Carrowdore.
"In this, he is right"
“Most people do not expect funds that claim to be ESG or green to be exposed to companies that expand fossil fuels,” Schreiber said. “Backtracking like BP’s shows that these funds cannot pretend they are supporting companies that are willing to transition.”
Paul Schreiber, senior policy adviser at @reclaimfinance.org said the Morningstar data “absolutely reinforces concerns about greenwashing” & called for tighter regulation around ESG claims.
In Feb 2025 BP backtracked on its commitment to cut O&G production - yet many big investors holding its shares in their ESG funds said "no biggie" and continued holding their shares (with notable exceptions incl BNP Paribas AM) www.ft.com/content/6b17...

curious to see whether lying incessantly, massively and delusionally about a horrific war for no reason that is going catastrophically will incur more of a political cost for Trump and his court than lying incessantly, massively and delusionally about everything else for the past decade has

We're racing toward the key April 1 California snowpack measurement and it's going to be disastrously low -- my estimate is far less than half of normal.

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.
They’ll play this in museums in future.

Trump threatening to murder the entire Iranian football team. Hope the FBI are investigating this.
Not kind of blue
California power sector fossil gas use down *60.5%* since 2023 ytd
Absurd heat! Despite our best efforts, the monster heat dome is bound to be "undersold" by the meteorology community. Why? Because intensity like this is almost never seen. This thing has the potential to be Epic for Mid-March, and not in a good way… 1/
That's about half of what it cost for USAID for a whole year www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03...
An Israeli drone strike targeted a tent camp housing displaced civilians in Ramlet Al Baida, Beirut.
At least 7 people were killed and 21 others were injured. The death toll will likely continue to rise.
I explained a while ago that it would be impossible to say anything about Trump’s Iranian ‘adventure’ with absolute certainty. I’m sorry, I was wrong. He will *never* do anything that genuinely upsets or angers Vladimir Putin. Whether in Iran, in Ukraine or even in the USA. It is his only constant.

Temperature map showing record warmth in much of the Eastern U.S. including 80s around DC.
Record heat today! 🥵
DC hit at least 82° (old record: 79°). Dulles up to 83°, Baltimore too -- all record highs.
80s arrived more than two weeks early for DC, where the average first 80° isn’t until March 26.
Wild early-season warmth.
Schrödinger's War
you have to listen to everything he says but also ignore everything he says which is very difficult
Map snapshot depicting the predicted relative anomalousness of surface temperatures from the ECMWF ensemble over the Western U.S. in about a week from now. A a huge region of bright orange and red colors (depicting extremely high warm temperature anomalies) is centered right in the middle of the map, and covers essentially the entire region.
Lots of buzz online about an upcoming major March heatwave for the American SW & California. And in this case, it does indeed appear increasingly likely than an extremely anomalous and even record-breaking heatwave may envelop much of the SW about a week from now.
Just 13% of Britons describe themselves as pro-Trump.
