Fungicides used in agriculture cause resistence in Aspergillus fumigatus (fungus present in every compost heap) wich can infect immunocompromised people. In the NL 1000 infections of resistent Aspergillus each year, 200 fatalities. Don't contribute to this and eat organic! @davegoulson.bsky.social

The fishing of krill is putting marine wildlife at risk.❗ To protect this fragile ecosystem, the fishery needs to be paused until stronger management and safeguards are in place. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Good. No concern was given for the impact on other marine species nor for human health. #politas

👉79% of homeowners report rising home insurance premiums. 👉66% of voters see a connection between Big Oil, extreme weather, and rising insurance costs. 👉61% of voters support legislation that would empower states to sue Big Oil companies to recover insurance-related costs from climate disasters.

This is a marvelous change not only for the Humpback whale 🐋 population but for all of us. We need to keep our gentle giants from going extinct. Fifty years after New Zealand stopped whaling, humpback population showing signs of recovery | RNZ News share.google/X1HB3JFgaePK...

Pretend Left Wing paper the Guardian saying that Fossil Fuel tax should be cut so trillion dollar Fossil Fuel giants will make more profits and drill more oil and gas. And Public Services can be defunded.

Trump threatens to halt trade with Spain because its govt refused military base access. The felon demands obedience and has tantrums when sovereign govts refuse to be part of his illegal war. Tariff/Military wars are part of his delusions of world domination. More need to resist.

Ireland’s winter wetter and warmer than average for sixth year in a row, says Met Éireann

Our “key body for enforcement of environmental protection legislation” just cannot reach any of these trollies dumped in our river basins. R we “fighting” the climate crisis yet @fingal.ie ? @deptcee.bsky.social @localgovire.bsky.social @depthousingirl.bsky.social 🇮🇪River Basin Management Plan❓

it's sad the the 'before' picture is so commonplace (and so accepted as normal) in ireland if they were displayed the other way around, you would think something cataclysmic had happened

Fracking and North Sea oil are a red herring for energy security “We have renewables which are reducing UK prices of electricity.” North Sea oil and gas are sold on global markets by private firms “not owned by the public”. Wind power cut UK energy bills by a third in 2025. @jessralston.bsky.social

It’s time for more scrutiny of swapping grass pitches for astroturfs, some councillors and academics say. The change may mean the pitches can withstand more use, but it also means they won’t absorb as much rain, or sustain as many creatures, they say.

A new disabled persons’ organisation has launched in Dublin. The Dublin DPO aims to bring together voices from across coalitions – groups for the blind, the mobility impaired, the autistic, and more.

China's doubling down on grid infrastructure ⚡🏗️ China will add 15 ultra-high voltage (UHV) lines by 2030, connecting ~200 GWh of renewable power to the grid 📈 Generation gets the headlines, but transmission is what makes large-scale decarbonization actually work 🔌🌱 www.reuters.com/business/ene...

Hang it in the The Louvre! * Hugh Grant is right - the privatisation of water is a scam, and it's a Very English Scandal that no-one has been brought to justice for the destruction of our rivers and seas. We need public ownership, and oversight, now. * (with extra security)

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks. They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors. Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption. Watch how they vote this week.

As spring arrives, a little glimpse over the past 24 hours of how the Irish grid is taking advantage of multiple sources of renewable energy: - wind peaked at 80% of electricity demand last night - solar peaked at 14% this afternoon -- a figure that was a summertime record as recently as 2024 🍃 ☀️

Aside from slaughtering masses of innocent people, the US and Israel's illegal war on Iran is yet another reminder that the current global order has a 19th century mindset, supremely incapable of tackling catastrophic climate and ecological collapse. share.google/rNrwBsi53tKq...

Big corporations. Big influence. An EU law meant to hold corporations accountable for human rights and environmental abuses in their supply chains (CS3D) has been heavily stripped back after pressure from a secret U.S. lobbying group of 11 multinationals, including ExxonMobil and Honeywell.

Attended the premiere of ‘An Irish Atlantic Rainforest’ yesterday, a terrific documentary based on @irishrainforest.bsky.social book of the same name. It’s visually stunning & gives a tantalising glimpse into just how beautiful Ireland is, what we’ve lost & how it could be again via rewilding.

An actual comment I just saw on linkedin. A real adult human - in fact a former MD of an Australian metals company - wrote this.

Rising ocean temps blamed for massive die-off of marine life. "Researchers examined the year-to-year change of 33,000 [fish] populations in the northern hemisphere.... They found the drop in biomass from chronic heating to be as high as 19.8% in a single year." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The Finnish fly fishing scene is awaiting the next round of clear-cut logging of wetland forests with horror. The impacts will multiply in the rapidly heating Finnish climate, especially in the winter. The ground doesn't freeze, and there will be more discharge. #Biodiversity

It’s the best time of the month… February's #RewildingWins are here 🙌 The past month has delivered another lot of inspiring rewilding wins. From a boom in beaver reintroductions in England to a major new rewilding site in Wales, the movement is growing.  Scroll down to read all about them👇 🧵1/6

Biodiversity collapse threatens UK security, intelligence chiefs warn www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The climate and nature emergencies: always separate, with biodiversity second. Nature has the power to heal the damage humans are inflicting on the world. Good to see David Attenborough and the Royal Society starting to make the case. We need to make it much louder youtu.be/GlWNuzrqe7U?...

105 members of the European Parliament sent a letter to the Commission’s President Ursula von der Leyen, putting pressure on her to support the European Citizens’ Initiative “My Voice, My Choice”. It could improve access to safe abortion in Europe by funding travel from countries with less access.
