More photos have come to light of the car park fire at Luton airport including a video
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12619171/The-moment-Luton-airport-car-park-COLLAPSES-exploding-Range-Rover-sparks-huge-inferno.html?ito=rss-connatix&traffic_source=Connatix
Some say the fire appears to be in front of the Range Rover rather than coming from it but a couple say they saw it burning but it was already to late to stop it with their fire extinguisher. That a diesel engine could catch fire in this manner seems extraordinary and for the car park to collapse suggests the fire must have been very intense.
If the initial blaze came from the diesel vehicle then it seems it must have been very close to EV’s and the fire then increased in intensity when they caught fire. No doubt the Airport, The Airports insurers, the insurers of the various vehicle involved and the fire dept will carry out their own investigation.
It seems likely EV’s added fuel to the fire but may not have been responsible for the initial conflagration. We shall see
100
Maybe it was James Bond’s Rover with surface to air missiles under the bonnet?
Could Extinction Rebellion now be targeting SUVs with glue and a lighter to the set fire to the tyres rather than deflating them. We know they have glue and they certainly would have the gear to light up a crack pipe.
30
My latest thought is that the fire did start in a diesel Ramge Rover due to a ruptured fuel line spraying onto the catalytic converter

Diesel fuel lines are normally under significant pressure, ONLY when the ignition is turned on and fuel is being pumped to the engine bay.
Diesel fuel is a LOT less volatile than ordinary petrol; it either takes a fair amount of heat to achieve any sort of vapour cloud, or it is aerosol-ized inside the engines cylinders, via the fuel injector system.
There is a very good reason that it is the preferred fuel / engine combination in marine vessels.
Try pouring a cup of diesel fuel on a concrete slab and setting fire to it with a match.
80
I think John Cadogan has nailed the source of the blaze , yes he is annoying and yes the start of the vid has ads but his explanation plus the fact Range Rover hybrid diesels are no stranger to suddenly catch fire does make sense as does his reasoning for why it was not diesel that started the initial blaze .

Must have been an electrical fault in the diesel.
Diesel as everyone knows, is insanely safe. I burn quite a bit of it. I fill the tractors from a leaking 50 perhaps 80 year old tank with diesel spill all over the place. Its why it is the perfect fuel for farmers, just so safe – and the power, never ceases to amaze me.
Given that, this idea of JCB with their hydrogen engine diesel equivalent is the most absurd concept I’ve ever heard of. Can you seriously imagine farmers handling Hydrogen? LOL. You must have never been on a farm. The carpark explosion would have nothing on that.

There were various pro Palestinian demos in cities as far apart as London Berlin and Sydney.
There are now large groups of people who have not been assimilated into the host country and who may have serious issues with other citizens, nationalities, clans, religions and their former governments. So we are likely to increasingly see the dangerous issues of other countries and their people being played out on our own streets.
231
You make a very good point. In the U. S., assimilation for various groups did not happen without difficulty, but in most cases it did happen.
Columbus Day was a response to the ly. . .ing of 11 Sicilian immigrants by New Orleans vigilantes. Of various possibilities of “good” Italians to launch a counter trend, Columbus was chosen because of name recognition.

There’s now a large police and military presence on the streets here in Paris.
Reminiscent of the ubiquitous patrols and guards around for a long time after the Bataclan attack by the 7th century loonies.
I have no “side” to back. Both have thoroughly dehumanised their enemies and, as a result, have carried out some horrendous attacks on each other over the years.
Just like Ukraine, I believe the only involvement by Australia should be humanitarian aid to both sides, if anything at all.
Of course my opinion is just as worthless as any other opinion on the internet.

That is commonly known as “fence sitting” ,.. which usually results in splinters in your rr’s !

‘If you don’t know vote NO!’ So true, especially if one isn’t willing to seek information.
Today’s problems come largely having the youth of western nations taking their ‘knowledge’ from curriculums required to be taught by many teachers and lecturers happy to take the left side. That’s reinforced via msm and social media. Enforcement or tacit aceptance comes by cancellation, loss of jobs, vicious isolation social exclusion. There appears to be no insight by ‘students’ that they must do their own historical investigations in order to achieve an informed conclusion. Governments, using CEO lackeys, TV, msm, and elite opinion in unison, push their worst policies upon us.
Those groups see mutual power, or largesse from one to the other, at the expense of the citizens eg Climate debate, the ‘voice’. I would suggest also in the immigration debate of the 1980’s. Merkel showed the same cleverness, inducing the European migrant ‘invasion’. Our governments accept presumed good citizens but find the continued vetting of extremists and appropriate expulsions too politically hard.
The voice debate shows the people are starting to wake up, as far as the polls can be believed. The next year of big business shareholder meetings could be very entertaining as shareholders demand answers about how their funds could be expropriated and used for non business donations. Boards and managers better have their replies ready!
30
Why should I commit to a side when I do not have any personal connection to anyone invoked, I’m neither Jewish nor Islamic, I know more than most but am still ignorant of a lot of details that keep tensions simmering?
You remind me of the Celtics vs Rangers discussion I had, started by people who just wanted an excuse to fight.
Them: Which team do you support?
Me: neither, I’m just visiting Glasgow for a few days, I’m Australian, not from Scotland.
Them: ok, there’s the Celtics and the Rangers, so if you had to pick a side…?
Etc, etc…
It didn’t stop until I left the pub.
Perhaps you can explain how my picking of a side, or my continuing to not pick a side will make any difference to anyone?
Perhaps you can explain the benefits of picking a side even when not adequately informed on the good and bad points on each side?
20
May I suggest, in the nicest possible way, that any and all moral equivalence arguments concerning Israel and the Islamic hordes surrounding it be vented only in private. To do so publicly proves that one has no moral compass for all to see.

Scott Ritter and Andrei Martyanov: Hamas, Who Is Behind It?

AU Climate Activist Matilda Lane-Rose is the only named person that I find trespassed on the Perth home of Woodside Director Meg O’Neill.
The foiled solo protest was to be part of a string of actions organised by Disrupt Burrup Hub, . . .
Note the “solo” in the quote.
I wonder if each of the “string of actions” was meant to garner as much media coverage as possible rather than having the entire cult rounded up at once. How did the other stuff work out, or did this shut it all down?
Further, was it in the plan to get arrested? I think a cult member would learn early about the things that ought not be done.
80
The phrase “string of actions” is concerning. The strategy used by these activists is to ramp up the protests until they get an over the top response from the authorities. They appear to be following the advice of Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals”.
The strategy is to make it so the authorities look bad no matter what they do. If they do little, they look weak. If they react strongly they are called fascists.
This is a Marxist strategy and it tells me what the climate activists are.

The UN seems to be suggesting that western people should no longer live in traditionally built homes (cement, brick, tiles) due to the embedded carbon. They seem to be suggesting that other perhaps less permanent materials should be used. This is a big report with the most relevant part being Chapter 8 where conclusions and recommendations are made/
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cYHq0HDL78xJjo-uWd13bqwZ24Elgz5L/view

Good find.
They are suggesting timber, bamboo and biomass.
All mostly temporary structures as opposed to long-lasting traditional Western building methods
We (non-Elites) will live like primitive peoples in small huts, eating insects and with no personal transport within the confines of small tribal villages (“15 min cities”).
That of course is the plan.
The only thing that surprises me is that they are pushing this stage of the regression to a more primitive lifestyle now. I would have expected it in 5-10 years.
The regression is moving at a faster pace than I expected.
170
We’re already half way there. If you look at a typical Melbourne house, the top floor is wood, with a foam shell. Will last about 20 years, and need to be demolished. I live in a 130 year old double brick house that’s still going strong. That’s more than 6 of the newfangled straw houses. Can’t possible be more carbon efficient.
The three little pigs had it right.

Thanks for the links Tony. Usual UN rubbish. Pity our councils will probably take it up. Dont quite see how stopping all logging in native forests, which I think has been done in Vic and has been drastically reduced in other states,is going to go with stopping all other sorts of building materials.

Food for thought. Today’s subject is ‘Postglacial genomes from foragers across Northern Eurasia reveal prehistoric mobility associated with the spread of the Uralic and Yeniseian languages’
During covid-time I did some genealogy and I interested in population genetics. I ‘knew’ earlier that my Y-haplogroup is N. Finally I bought a test and my Y-haplogroup indeed is N. This study sheds light on movements of peoples before there even was Uralic people.
All Uralic peoples except for the hungarians have some Siberian-associated ancestry. In Finns that ancestry is about 7% – 10% and in Samis it can be over 20%.
It is mindblowing to think that there is a line of fathers who have lived in Western Siberia in distant past. How did they lived?, How many of them died in wars and violent incidents? and so on. Because there wasn’t agriculture majority of those forefathers were hunters and fishermen.

I should have looked for a little dinosaur badge while in town yesterday.
While there I fell into conversation with two people who are of like mind to me.
20
Ray Martin didn’t call no voters or “anti-Apartheid believers” those things.
He said,
He is calling those who can’t be bothered reading or finding out information dinosaurs or DH’s. Not the same as calling no voters that.
I disagree with Ray Martin’s position but I do think that criticism and attribution of comments should be accurate.
His following comment that the details don’t matter and never have is more worthy of criticism than his name calling. He had to pretend that is the case because of the lack of detail available. Even to those who have been bothered reading and trying to find out.
What Ray should have said is the Govt is treating the public with disrespect by expecting us to approve the Voice with little detail. The question and proposed amendment is not detail.

Nearly half of the world’s flowing plants are facing extinction according to the Daily Mail, BBC and others.
This is because of human activity, and the degradation of the environment by externalising costs for farming, extractive industries, and to a small extent by global warming.

Yes. But what is the actual evidence for this bizarre claim?
140
I guess those news sources figure they can’t damage their reputation any worse than they already have. Sensational headlines sell advertising … the news media need the money as their audience drains away.
In the unlikely event that any of their readers cares enough, and has a long enough memory to go back in a few years and ask why the prediction didn’t happen … they can simply say they were reporting on a potential risk and never said it was certainty.
Remember when they got called on the whole “Global Cooling” thing in the 1970’s and then they said, “Oh that wasn’t real climate science, that was just a news media thing!”
ok, so the principle is established that news media are not a trusted source for science … one of the few things that skeptics and alarmists agree on.

“Of the nearly 19,000 new plants and fungi species discovered since 2020, 77% are thought to be endangered“. Well we all know what thought, thought.
“There is a backlog of around 100,000 new species of plants found by botanists that are still to be formally classified. The Kew team says these should be automatically described as threatened unless proven otherwise“. Threatened, only after discovery, with absolutely zero evidence, from a reporter with a law and journalism degree.
You have finally achieved Net Zero with your facts PF. Fact free opinion piece.
80
That backlog will likely continue as things move slowly in the botanical world – an example
Our well known kangaroo grass was known as Themeda australis from first discovery until recently being reclassified as Themeda triandra
https://www.anbg.gov.au/gnp/interns-2004/themeda-triandra.html
30
That might be half the species of flowering plants, with huge assumptions.
Australia has about 5% of plant species on the endangered list. A good example is the Wollemi pine whose numbers were very low before European settlement. Many threatened orchids are the same. The numbers were low before European settlement. The conditions that they evolved to thrive in were long gone before the first fleet, although settlement rarely improved things ( not always the case)
If you are talking about the actual number of plants, 50% of species could die tomorrow with only specialist biologists noticing.
50
LOL. The ultimate fantasy of every botany student: THREATENED SPECIES.
20
Flowering plants (angiosperms) are the latest group to evolve, mostly outcompeting the angiosperms which had themselves pushed out the ferns (where all our cool comes from). To achieve this they maximised their production (in the botanical sense), but this makes them vulnerable to habitat changes.
The daily mail et al were reporting from this source.. I prioritised the daily mail as I understand that most commentators here rely on this publication

Would you consider clear felling hundreds of thousands of acres of forest, makes them vulnerable to habitat changes.

“Electric Grid Reliability: Texas vs. EPA”
In the “muddling”
“Wishful Thinking
As one might expect, EPA does not entertain the idea that their proposed regulations could devastate US power grids. The reason is that the EPA models assume that replacement generation will always be built to replace shuttered coal and natural gas power generation. This was pointed out during the EPA public hearings by Michelle Bloodworth, the President and CEO of America’s Power:
EPA’s modeling concluded that it would not cause any resource inadequacy. However, EPA’s model is designed to never project resource inadequacy because the model simply adds replacement capacity to offset retiring capacity regardless of whether this new replacement capacity would actually be built in the real world and provide the same accredited capacity value and reliability attributes as the coal fleet, such as fuel security.”

New Study Upends Modeling, Finds Earth’s Rocks Are A Net Source Of CO2 Rivaling Volcanic Emissions
For decades rock weathering has been thought to be a net sink in carbon budget models. New research finds rock emissions are a large net source of CO2 to the atmosphere.
A few years ago Buesseler et al., 2020 discovered that all of the climate modelers’ previous estimates of global ocean carbon uptake are substantially wrong because they were measuring from the fixed “canonical fixed 150-m depth.” The alleged new-and-improved way to assess carbon uptake is from much shallower depths: the euphotic zone (Ez). This is the section of the upper ocean layer that sunlight is able to penetrate, and it can “vary from less than 20 m to almost 200 m” in depth.
When the variable Ez depth is used to estimate carbon absorption versus export, the absorption estimate changes by more than a factor of 2, from 2.8 petagrams of carbon (PgC) per year to 5.7.

REVR plans to turn your ICE car into a plug-in hybrid for US$3,200
This year’s Australian national Dyson Award winner tells us more about the bolt-on REVR retrofit kit he’s developing, that aims to convert ICE cars to practical, efficient hybrids for less than US$3,200, taking less than a day to install.
It sounds like a bonkers proposition from the outset, but RMIT University design student Alexander Burton is well into prototyping the most mechanically complex part of the system: the flat, power-dense, liquid-cooled 50-kW motor designed to sandwich in between your wheel and brake disc.
The battery pack, along with the motor controllers, will go in the well in the trunk where your spare tire would normally fit. “Similarly to new electric vehicles such as Teslas,” Burton tells us over email, “we see the spare tire being removed entirely – however, it’s up to the customer what they want to do.”
That round space should allow room for about a 15-kWh battery pack, which Burton says is enough for more than 100 km (62 miles) of all-electric range at stop-start city driving speeds, using regenerative braking.
https://www.revr.tech/
From what I’ve seen of these conversion kits so far, I’ll pass.
30
Hub motor conversions have been proposed numerous times but always fall short on their promiss.Most of t he big auto makers have tried this.
They are tricky from an engineering viewpoint with serious suspension/braking /handling implications. Motor power (torque) is dependant on battery size, and a 15 kWh battery is not going to provide 50/100 kW safely…..or for long !
And, 15kWh battery alone, is going to cost a lot more than $3200 …before any motors, engineering, controls, etc, etc. !
Tell them they are Dreamin’…!
30
The practical working equivalent to this that has been adopted by automakers worldwide, is the MILD Hybrid system, which uses a low voltage (48v) electric motor combined with alternator functions to act as a ice assist, srarter motor and regenerative charging.
These systems are installes widely on many current main stream vehicles
