  1. "Are inventions inevitable?" -- a paper from 1922, published in Political Science Quarterly.

    I've heard this sort of claim from #MattRidley about innovation, but I hadn't realised that the idea was around a hundred years earlier.

    This #MattRidley is a #shill.

    He spouts #financialisation ie. #decoupling #economicGrowth from #resourceConsumption.

    The #constructionBoom is a disaster for environment, transferring wealth to #gentifiers, #wellConnected and #speculators. Look at #GrenfellTowers, and there's huge swathes of flammable and unsustainably built trash in Australia - see #FourCorners expose + #sandMafia.

    We haven't seen so much hand-wavey trash for years.

    Shill might be too generous - try #liar.

  3. For 20 years, the billionaire press told us "we can easily adapt to a warmer world".

    Try telling that to people in Germany, Belgium and the western seaboard of North America. And this is just one degree of heating.

    The media did this, as surely as the fossil fuel companies. Let's not forget those who told us there was little to worry about. People with massive media platforms, who helped push us towards catastrophe.

    • Matt Ridley
    • Bjorn Lomborg
    • Nigel Lawson
    • Christopher Booker
    • David Rose
    • Peter Hitchens ....The roll of dishonour is long and grim

    And, of course, their editors and proprietors. And the so-called thinktanks shilling for the fossil fuel companies. Doubtless they all believed they were being ever so clever. But if we recall their names at all, we'll remember them as traitors to humanity...
