One of these two is a draft-dodging sexual predator, tyrant & con-man who ran for office to stay out of jail. The other is a hero who risked his life to save his country & has shown remarkable courage & ingenuity in fending off a murderous invasion. www.bbc.com/news/live/c6...

Teagasc IFJ letter in response to @murphy-bokern.bsky.social fails to answer his critique. –Dr. MB said the problem is that Teagasc is causing confusion & it is Teagasc's methane messaging (NOT the organisation!) that "borders on climate change denial and serves neither farmers nor citizens." 1/2

This morning I discussed reports that the Government is close to making a decision on LNG on Morning Ireland. With Trump championing the fossil fuel, it’s essential any decision is based on sound evidence that considers our legal climate commitments and clean alternatives www.rte.ie/radio/radio1...

Fascists hate reality. Fascists hate free thinking. Fascists hate free speech. They want CONTROL. So that's what pathetic privileged ignorant lying bullies always grab given the chance. Show them for what they are. We ALL lose if Fascists win.

More bad climate news from the US. The IPCC secretariat that facilitates assessment of research on mitigation of climate change (solutions) has been terminated by the Trump gov. This will make an already challenging report even harder. Other countries must step up and quickly provide assistance.

This is why the common economic/science focus on business or farm-level efficiencies to reduce emissions or pollution is often profoundly misleading. In fact, enforcing system limits drives necessary efficiencies. Classic example: milk quota production limit lowered emissions; no quota, GHGs UP.

(Important for good faith scientists to clarify this; but won't stop - or even slow - the deluge of "net zero" abuse and mis-information. So IMHO already better to avoid this term completely. Focus on "equitable mitigation commensurate with a liveable [survivable?] climate".)

Public libraries are amazing! Did you know you can borrow a book from any library in the country and return it to any other library? Did you know they have subscriptions to huge amounts of national and international media that you can access?
