It may well be that @npwsireland.bsky.social are finally turning a corner on rhododendron, but I would call on them to release the report on the issue that they commissioned some time back and to publish their methodologies and work programmes so we can be sure www.irishtimes.com/environment/...

Having weighed up various options, Norway opts to cancel fixed bottom and commits to developing floating offshore wind. Ireland should take note & truly examine our options to ensure best practice for Irish citizens. www.offshorewind.biz/2025/02/11/n...

www.rte.ie/news/ireland... The principal issue here is conservation of nature vs development. Last year the Irish government voted for the Nature Restoration Law. Adhering to that law must include protecting what has survived human impacts to date.

On January 28th, 2025, 14 Dolphins were stolen from their families Taiji, Japan to meet the demand for captive Dolphins. Don't forget that when you buy a ticket to a Dolphin show, or to swim with Dolphins, you supply the demand for captive Dolphins. Please #DontBuyATicket. Credit @OP_Society

One thing I appreciate about Jonathan Cary's book, Scorched Earth, is how resolute he is in arguing that the 'internet complex' is beyond reform. The ideas of 'ethical AI' or 'green AI' are very much part of the problem.
