Europe is not immune to the Trump/Musk playbook. This Thursday, right-wing MEPs are teaming up to attack one of the most successful nature protection laws in the world: the Habitats Directive. Send a simple email to MEPs and make a difference. share.greens-efa.eu/s/3NEZyGWM

This is what’s happening with 1.3C of global heating above preindustrial levels. We’re on track for 3C by 2100. Failure to leave fossil fuels in the ground is a devastating crime against humanity & against all other life on this, our one fragile earth

"Donald Trump is now criticizing the Green New Deal and saying that climate change will create more “waterfront property”." - the Guardian. Mud-filled, flooded property anyone? It's hard not to despair in the face of such gross ignorance as Trump boosts coal mining.

Inspired by this illuminating chart, I made one based on Irish data as well. The correlation (and let's be real, causation) between gas prices and electricity prices cannot be clearer.

It is unfathomable that the majority of humans are allowing the 1% richest to destroy humanity and many of the species with whom we share this special rock. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The demand for palm oil stripping rainforest ecosystems. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Every time you hear the words "culture war", you can replace it with "protecting vested interests". We know that the overwhelming majority of people want action on the climate crisis, and know that it will benefit them and the economy. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

15+ years old, but still VERY relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we’d be creating would be a LOT better & easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner. Even worse if we don’t heed it now. #ClimateCrisis

Over 12.2k likes (so far). It's clearer than day that there is now *enormous* (+ fast increasing) enthusiasm for rewilding in Ireland. And there's likely nowhere else on Earth with greater need. Let's make this happen. 🌍

Here's a major source of microplastics in soils. Other sources, astonishingly, include the *deliberate application* of microplastics, to make soils more friable, and the plastic pellets in which many fertilisers are encased. It is simply crazy and must stop now. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Breaking News! Code UFB!!! The daily CO2 number from Mauna Loa exceeded 430 ppm yesterday. This is the first reading above 430 ever recorded. CO2 levels have not been this high since the Pliocene epoch, 3 to 5 million years ago.

All websites that depend on NOAA data should display something like this. earth.nullschool.net

"I am Zelenskyy" "I am Zelenskyy", "I am Zelenskyy" "I am Zelenskyy", "I am Zelenskyy", "I am Zelenskyy" We are all Zelenskyy. We are all Ukraine.

Red = lowest ecological integrity. Ireland has the great honour of being probably *the* most ecologically trashed nation in all Europe. 🏆 🏆 🏆

Excellent summary

Breaking News! Code UFB!!! The global surface temperature anomaly has now been released for last year. According to Copernicus, 2024 was 1.60°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC baseline! climate.copernicus.eu/copernicus-2...

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

The US and big corporations are leading us into oblivion. Why are we allowing it to happen?

"AI-enhanced research shows regional warming will exceed critical thresholds faster than expected, with most regions surpassing 1.5°C by 2040. Vulnerable areas like South Asia face heightened risks, urging swift adaptation actions." #GreenSky #ClimateCrisis

Great to hear the work of the Climate Justice Universities Union promoted. At the start of the podcast you hear @samfahy.bsky.social (DCU) and Ken Boyle (TU Dublin) - both of whom have been fighting for sustainability for years, so it’s welcome to see the movement growing & including students.

Glen Moore, who got slapped around by the kids in St. Aidans in Dublin West has amassed a whopping 3% of the vote. Back under your rock, lad... #ge24 #speirgorm

"Bumblebee population increases 116 times over in 'remarkable' Scotland rewilding project." Read that again: **116** times. Why are we STILL having to argue the case for rewilding?? www.scotsman.com/hays-way/bum...

This article explains in straightforward terms, the weakening of the Atlantic Meridial Overturning Current. This important ocean current can have dramatic effects on food scarcity, biodiversity, drought and further extreme weather events. www.earth.com/news/collaps...

Important new study shows that current climate models underestimate the human-caused slowing of the #AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation), because they neglect freshwater influx from Greenland melt and other sources. /1 🌊 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

What an inspiring rewilding success story. It took only two months for salmon to reach ancestral spawning grounds that had been cut off for more than a century! www.latimes.com/environment/...

We humans really are very stupid.
