FFS! Israel - what a sick place.

What I call climate 'appeasement' - the idea that climate breakdown isn't actually going to be that bad - is growing fast, and presents as great a threat as climate denial Climate appeasers denigrate reality as alarmism, so fostering inertia and inaction We are in deep, deep, sh*t - fact

Calling on Minister to scrap consultation on changes to legal cost rules “This is a wholly inappropriate way to hold a consultation, not least by Department with responsibility for the Aarhus Convention on the rights to public participation and access to justice." www.antaisce.org/news/calling...

Now is the time to stop flying. If not now, when?

New Year submission already! Government put out for consultation at Christmas - smacks of lumpy carpet syndrome! Take action folks!

They've done it again, they've cut more rail projects. The most criminal one for me is cancelling the reopening of the Waterford-Wexford/Rosslare line. On the left is the All-island Rail Review published by the last government and on the right is the plan published today.

It is high time we accepted the truth: we all have to stop flying. The sooner each of us stops, the better chance we have of surviving as a species.

An excellent thread.

Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

People seem to think business flights make up the majority of trips. Not true. In the UK, they're only about 10% of international flights. Sorry, holidaymakers! We *all* need to change the way we think about flying.

I’m involved with groups who have taken Judicial Reviews successfully over the years. The reason for success is always because due process has not been followed, or basic rules and laws are being ignored. Judicial Review is an essential tool in our democracy.

I have never, and will never, use Spotify. It is basically theft from artists.

#Bluetongue Virus's arrival in Ireland is a #climate change story as well as an animal welfare concern. Endemic in sub-tropics, but unheard of in Europe until the late '90s. Changing humidity and temperature allowed the infected midges to survive in ever more northerly areas. Graphic: WOAH

In Cork you can buy redemption by the pint.

This is the most Orwellian thing ever. We are truly living in strange times. Satire is basically dead, as it is really happening before our eyes.

Over the past few days AI has given me a few wrong answers on Google. Check this one search, with and without AI, you get completely opposing answers. You can bypass Google AI by following your search with ‘-ai’. AI seems to side with what businesses say without question

Cllr Oliver Moran said that “we may recognise the boundary between the city and the county but air pollution doesn't. It is one Cork harbour." Cllr Honore Kamegni said the incinerator “is something that is going to affect all of us.”

Grateful to colleagues across parties on Cork City Council standing behind our county colleagues in their submission on the proposed incinerator at Ringaskiddy. Cork Harbour is a shared resource between the two local authorities. Air pollution doesn't stop at the boundary between city and county.

spot on

A clear eyed look by @attractaub.bsky.social at the political narrative on JR & 'objectors' 'A contrary view is that this narrative on judicial reviews is to create a distraction from Government’s ongoing failures by scapegoating the public and the courts. ' www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

There’s a reason good planning takes time. It’s about the checks and balances, and finding the solution that works best for most people.

If this ceasefire happens - and I hope it does - Western media will talk about 'peace'. This will be inaccurate. What they will mean is 'quiet', a reversion to the background level of violence that Palestinians have faced for decades. Peace can only come with the end of the occupation and apartheid.

Greta Thunberg has just been released and she is back on the warpath, exactly like our leaders should be. Israel will never silence her or the billions who oppose them.

European way of life jeopardised by eco-collapse, EU report finds. If the threat were from any other quarter, our whole economy, political system, society, *everything* would be mobilised to head it off, like during COVID. But it's only nature dying, so nothing. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It is, I argue, now the era of the Climate Vulture: the grinning, glib dudebro breezily diverting the infrastructure of climate action to feed AI slop, carbon removal scams, geoengineering soon-to-be-scams etc. It's dinner time for the Climate Vultures. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/m...
