United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Yes, if there's a cull, they'll be on the right end of the scythe.
I have a horrible suspicion that they've just drunk the Koolaid - if you only hang around with energy executives who are also denying climate change you either buy into the idea that there isn't a problem or hand-wave it away by saying some boffin will solve the problem.
It may not be.
Carbon capture and storage or geoengineering just look to be fig leaves that allow Big Carbon to keep rumbling on (why a lot of the argument at COP 28 was over "abatement"). Which feels very short-termist, if they redirected a fraction of the profits (or the money they spend lobbying against green legislation) into building things like solar energy farms across North Africa and the southern states in the US, they could create a future of near limitless profit for themselves. Unfortunately, while the dirty energy companies are fighting any change to their status quo, making any progress will be impossible.
