I don't wish to belittle the subject or these well-meaning people. But they are about as much use for the environment as all those 'celebrities' who went off to the Google jolly in the Mediterranean in 140 private jets and dozens of mega yachts to talk climate change last month.   Or St. Greta of Thunberg with her publicity stunt trip across The Atlantic to do the same. Obviously she can’t use a plane, because she’ll be called a hypocrite.  And she’s done just that, by making the trip on a 60-foot racing yacht. Naturally, this has made all her disciples very happy, but what’s the message?  That the half a million people who fly every day from Europe to America should use a £15m yacht instead? And take four weeks to do it? It gets worse, because if you examine the yacht she’s using, it’s not as green as you might imagine.  First of all, it is equipped with a diesel engine.  And second, it’s made mostly from carbon fibre, which cannot be recycled effectively, and which uses 14 times more energy to produce than steel.  Which can be recycled very easily indeed. What St. G of T is doing, then, is precisely the opposite of what she is setting out to achieve.  And so, I fear are those who think emotional energy can power the world.

Leaving aside that it is one big advert for Amazon, any list that does not have Greg Bear's Eon way up in the rankings won't impress me.

For people with more money than sense, like Gwyne... Sigh! Never mind.

You can keep them. I've seen them being made!

I thought this might be interesting so clicked the link which took me to Popular Science. It seems that I must consent - no other option is apparent - to "Allow all cookies", That means consenting to 14 allegedly necessary cookies and 85, yes 85, others. Being spied on is not one of my favourite things so fuck that and fuck Popular Science. There seems no easy or convenient way to register my disapproval of the policy direct with Popular Science either.

Should he not have a Twatter account instead?

What's most offensive is the vile swill they put into the cups.

When will people learn to take landscape videos?

"While an early ketchup recipe with tomatoes appeared in Britain in 1817, -- it was Americans who really invented tomato ketchup."
Yes, of course. Just like Matthew McConaughey & U571 captured Germany's Enigma coding machine, thus winning WWII.

It still should be if it's what Starbucks call coffee. Everywhere, not just Istanbul.

Apart from a few very congested areas and schools etc. speed limits are set so they can be cash cows in the UK. Nothing to do with road safety, just yet another extra tax. Why else would you have a 70Mph dual carriageway suddeny become 40 Mph the other side of a bridge that obscures the sign until you are right on top of it? That sneaky trick and more than a few others rake in many hundreds of millions in "fines".

I think the Kartrashian clan and imitators are trying to revive the fashion

Planet fashion. Totally irrelevant to 99.995% of the world's population. Apart from giving everyone a good laugh.

Amazed that they have only done it seven times in four years! Sadly, it seems a mass shooting is practically a monthly occurence in the USA.

Best use of a cat I've seen in ages!
