EU ill-prepared for worsening climate change, advisers say reut.rs/4tGoqRg

Statement from @janetphorner.bsky.social on Planning Refusal for new Rotunda Critical Care Unit

Today Israel murdered more children. Hit with US missiles as they slept. Israel still blocks all journalists from entering Gaza - they cannot allow the world see their barbarity. Free Palestine

One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen, was filled with cars until a 2 year pedestrianization pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business,” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.

In other words, America wants a strong Europe to act as a subordinate; cover America's flank; absorb the Russian war when it comes (like 1914-17 and 1939-41; and help make America prosperous at Europe's expense; all whilst destroying the planet with climate change. The answer is 'No'. #MSC2026

One more quick thread, and then I'm getting out of here to walk my dog in the sun. I think a lot about the authoritarian personality. I won't start going on about that because this thread would last forever, but I just want to say one thing about it.

By lifting the Dublin Airport passenger cap, delaying funding for public transport that has planning permission and opening the door to commercial LNG, Minister @darraghobrientd.bsky.social's message to his constituents seems to be: prepare for much more climate chaos. www.rte.ie/news/2026/02...

Many, nay, all good points here.

In the age of climate disruption, real security means investing massively in renewable energy, grids and storage. europeangreens.eu/news/busines...

'The proposed (LNG) project would be close to a €1bn investment in new fossil fuel infrastructure. This is completely inconsistent with Ireland's legal climate obligations.' Dr Aideen O'Dochartaigh appearing at recent Oireachtas Committee session on proposed 'Gas Bill' @aideenod.bsky.social

The only biosphere in the known universe capable of supporting human life is being turned into a hell planet because most of Earth's governments refuse to stop trying to satisfy the insatiable greed of a plutocracy composed of people who already have more money than they could spend in 20 lifetimes.

Good work Everyone!!

Some serious coastal flooding along Dublin’s DART line this week, and more protection clearly needed. Here’s my submission from last October. bit.ly/CufECR

Keep this in mind when people claim cars mean business — closing Central #Madrid to cars over holidays resulted in a 9.5% boost in retail spending on its main shopping street: STUDY. There was also a 71% drop in air pollution. Via @carltonreid.com in @forbes.com. #citymakingmath #citiesforpeople

Despicable. If the gov knew about this in any way at all heads must roll. And that’s what this US gov thinks of us. Some scumbags private jet committing international crimes on Irish territory. Cause they think we are patsies.

Jaysus. At it again I’m afraid .

We had this once and can again. @olaln.bsky.social - let’s design it so that a 10 year old can cycle safely to school, without dressing like a construction worker. @irishtimes.com letter

Only catching up with the flooding in Clontarf. 2018 ‘Members of the public had complained that the height of the wall interfered with the sea view for motorists.’ ‘DCC councillors have voted to reduce the height of part of the Clontarf sea wall’ Motorists. Absolute fúckin eejits

Excellent article by @whittledaway.bsky.social Promises, promises, promises… Nothing done.

Thank you to everyone in Gathering Grounds, DSD, Salmo, Ballinteer Community School and St. Attracta's working so hard to highlight this local family's case. The contrast between our community's reaction and the government's detached response is so stark. c.org/tRmmg8bNWV

Important reporting by @annasophiegross.bsky.social and the FT team confirming what many of us working on this had anticipated: US government 'internet freedom' funding will now being channelled to destabilise Europe's platform regulation rulebooks. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Proof that Musk bolsters the far-right. Yet the 🇮🇪 Gov is too paralyzed by fear of big tech to give a damn.

🇮🇪 is definitely gonna raid X’s office in Dublin. Martin is sending the lads down right now.

We definitely need to be having this conversation in Ireland. The vast bulk of government is on the Microsoft stack. Much hosting is done with AWS. Outside of gov huge swathes of us are using Google. Plans in place to uncouple from 🇺🇸 tech badly needed.

Mary Robinson calls for law to block fossil fuel investments flowing through Irish-based firms www.irishtimes.com/business/202...

🇮🇪 will do spectacularly badly with impacts from Climate Change. We think short term. 2 of many: Still building on flood plains; 83% of our fruit & veg is imported. No real adaptation & mitigation plans for increasingly serious ☔️ events. Not to mention AMOC. 😬 Gov 🤷 #SpeirGorm

Whenever flooding hits, we hear in detail all about the wrecked homes, livelihoods, property, and related misery. But NEVER the major cause: that Ireland has been totally stripped of the native ecosystems like forest & bogs that would naturally have absorbed the water. share.google/aNF6Fg26wdmB...

Utter guff out of Housing Minister James Browne. FG & FF parts of every government have been absolutely crap when it comes to lowering emissions and mitigating for the damage climate change is going to do! ‘Judgement call’ nonsense. Shoot the messenger. Don’t fall for it.

This is one of my favorite charts because the obvious implication is ... obvious, but you absolutely are not allowed to say it out loud in US public discourse.

To say nothing of the malignant narcissist owners stated wish to destroy the European Union.

The quietness of EVs is a significant safety challenge for pedestrians, cyclists and people with visual impairments. Researchers at TUS, in collaboration with the National Disability Authority, are tackling this issue head on. Learn more on @rtebrainstorm.bsky.social: www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2...

The best of 🇺🇸 Alex Pretti was murdered by the very worst. An ICU nurse that was helping a woman, shot while he was on the ground by the degenerate cowards that are ICE.

We have a great opportunity to become leaders in renewable energy. But our Minister for Climate is desperate to import fossil fuels instead. He needs to get his priorities straight.

France is trolling us 😅

Government announce it will be illegal to generate CSAM on X if you're not wearing a helmet

Astonishing beauty of a logo. And to stay sooooo on brand using the same Temu Gold as he has on the Oval Office walls. The man oozes class. Everyday is more fǔcking bizarre.

One year on from Storm Éowyn, the Government still hasn't done enough to protect communities from the impacts of extreme weather ⚡🌧️ @rodericogorman.bsky.social outlines some of the measures that can be taken ⬇️
