The Lead: Lame Dead Duck Prime Minister

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced his resignation on Thursday but said he would remain in office until October. The opposition Labor Party does not think this is a jolly good idea though and would like him to pack his bags right now. 

Johnson’s resignation is a humdinger but seemed good for the British pound, which was up in the wake of this news but still down 11% for the year against the U.S. dollar. 

Johnson rode out all the bad press around him having parties while the UK was in strict Covid lockdowns but the most recent string of scandals were the proverbial straws to break the camel’s back. They involved Johnson promoting people despite knowledge that those people had been accused of sexual harrassment. 

Election season in the UK does not normally last as long as U.S. elections but given that it is early July, this year will be very different and we’ll be watching! 

Investing in Meat Alternatives

A new study predicts that every dollar invested in meat alternatives would result in three times less greenhouse gas emissions. The study says that investing in meat alternatives would have far greater results than investments in green buildings and zero-emission cars. 

By meat alternatives, the study refers to cell-based meat and alternate proteins. Not all meat-alternatives are eco-friendly but the report estimates that the group as a whole is far better for the planet than straight meat. 

But will people go for it? The report estimates that they might! When asked, 30% of consumers said that they would switch to alternative proteins if it helped the planet.

Achtung! Turn Down Your Thermostat

In Germany, your landlord could put limits on your thermostat. The country’s largest landlord company says it will do just that to reduce dependence on Russian oil. 

Tenants will only be able to heat their homes to 17 degrees Celsius between the hours of 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. If they want it warmer, they’d better buy heavier blankets. The company says that this could save up to 8% of heating costs. 

In Germany, tenants pay a fixed amount for heating based on yearly estimates. This means that landlords bear the burden of skyrocketing costs when they fluctuate. 

Could these measures catch on for the rest of the world? Could they apply to air conditioning too? How would you feel about these types of lifestyle caps? It’s no longer a hypothetical.

What's With All Those Chemtrails? 

Conspiracy theorists are claiming that flooding in Australia is due to government foul play by way of cloud seeding. 

Australia is suffering from devastating floods for the third time this year. Scientists say that this is due to a number of climate-related factors including warming oceans but some TikTokers beg to differ. 

The cloud seeding theory is that the government wants to “weaponise” the weather against its own people. Cloud seeding is when chemicals are sent into real clouds to induce rain. 

Experts say that there is no evidence that the Australian government is doing this but look, cloud seeding has been used as a weapon before. The U.S. government used cloud seeding to flood roads in Vietnam to prevent its enemy from delivering supplies during the Vietnam War. 

We’re not saying this is happening now but we’re not saying it’s not.
