More like a nature restoration plan than the ‘more of the same’ version from this FF/FG government. Come to expect v v little on our environment from this useless do-nothing government.

This headline and article are very misleading. That's not the cumulative cost by 2050, that's the ANNUAL cost. An Apple Tax windfall every year because Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael refuse to act now on solutions that cost much less. #spéirgorm

1/6 The Council is today releasing a new working paper: The hidden costs of inaction—why a failed climate transition will prove costly.

Meanwhile, our climate minister, and most TDs: "What this country *really* needs is more flying and more imported fossil fuels. We've got this!"

Today’s actions by the Irish government. Order all TDs to vote down a proposed ban on Hare coursing. Guillotine debate on LNG terminal and the Dublin airport passenger cap. Change laws to encourage one off housing in rural areas. The planet is burning, nature is dying and Nero is fiddling.

I really think that this government doesn’t give a toss about biodiversity or the environment, just what they think MIGHT win rural votes. And this won’t.

This is exactly the opposite of what we should be doing. This will result in more car dependence, more septic tanks and pollution, more expensive public services, and less nature and wildlife, to name but a few negatives. We should be prioritising compact, well-served communities, not more sprawl.

I was just thinking the White House didn’t have enough gold.

It's almost as if... scientists were right about C͟l͟i͟m͟a͟t͟e͟ C͟h͟a͟n͟g͟e͟...

🔪Today the Government Parties are guillotining both the Dublin Airport Passenger Cap Bill and the Strategic Gas Reserve Bill.

I just made a submission to the draft Nature Restoration Plan. I emphasised the need for funding and ambition but also how rewilding should be central to meeting restoration targets. We can trust nature to heal itself! www.environmentalpillar.ie/have-your-sa...

I think we just passed oops.

It’s worth noting that adapting our diet is the most impactful change we can make after solar and wind energy generation. Not something that is shouted by our leaders. By coincidence, Ireland has a VERY strong farm lobby group.

“Grifted”, not Gifted.

The Republican US Congress last night passed a law that limits the ability of corporations to buy single family homes. Our government in Ireland is now to the right of Trump’s Congress.

Now known as the Strait of Warm Ooze.

To those who say “this is not the Brexit I voted for”, you voted for an impossible fantasy, sold to you by grifting gobshites with no interest in reality or what was actually possible. You got exactly what you voted for.

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

Europe stifles in a climate crisis induced heat wave, with deaths in the hundreds and Ireland’s Minister for Environment announces that limiting air travel “does not serve the people of the region well”. #peakirony

A livable planet or shitty pictures, what a tough choice.

The irony-o-meter just exploded.

It’s just lucky that Jeffrey is pinky white, or there would be some riots tonight.

Former DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson has been found guilty on 18 sexual offences charges including one count of rape

The EU failing its citizens again in favour of the big lobby groups. Shame on it.

It’s not just Palantir that we should be worried about (and we should be very worried indeed about Palantir).

I KNOW we had a cruddy winter and need sunshine. BUT SERIOUSLY! @news.rte.ie tells of the incoming heat dome that will kill perhaps thousands, without mentioning climate change. Just happy shots of beaches and barbecues. Will it take 50 degrees centigrade for honesty?

Man who was illegally poaching engangered salmon and who tried to flee fisheries officers - a serious wildlife crime - is effectively let off the hook if he pays the €3.5k in costs. Why is this kind of crime not seen as a crime by the courts? www.westernpeople.ie/news/courts/...

The lads from Thomas House have it right: With AI, there is no excuse, there is no ethical use.

Thomas House of Dublin exhibiting the pro-human solidarity that all of us should demonstrate.

The most dangerous thing about AI is not that the machines might one day think. It is that we are being trained, by men with enormous financial gains riding on our acquiescence, to stop thinking for ourselves.

Nobody messes with Reggie. #speirgorm

This heatwave brought to you by BP.

NEW: WIRED investigates how the Thiel-world Dialog society, whose retreats are built around heavy policy discussions with Nobel laureates and military leaders, is secretly fixated on using AI to rank its members based on their wealth and instagram followings.

Could I have a liveable planet please?

"So ... so I said ... why not sign your treaty here, at Versailles?"

Hopelessly captured. Not a single original thought in his head, just an empty vessel ready for lobbyists to fill.

I wouldn’t have liked to see this place when it was LESS “environmentally friendly” 😔 #endsingleuseplastic

Person on Liveline calls to say she loves Temu because there are no shops downtown….. Hmmmmmm Why is that I wonder?

“We did the right thing for our people in Russia”. Oh and earned sales of $1.4bn too. The Quaker founding family would be spinning in their graves.

Electricity production from renewable sources accounted for 86.2% of total electricity produced in Portugal in 2024 europe-data.com/renewable-en...

But the good news is that nature can come back, if we choose to allow it. bsky.app/profile/iris...

I had some thoughts on the press coverage of the SpaceX IPO

The Cork Climate Ambassadors headed out for a day of coastal foraging for #WorldOceansDay with seasoned forager Samuel Arnold Keane! Whilst traversing the coastline finding all sorts of edible seaweeds they learned about its traditional uses, health benefits, and how it protects our coasts! 🌊

If you have a few minutes before 5:30 pm a positive supportive submission on the Cork Luas would be well worth your time. consult.tii.ie/luas-cork-ns... Cork needs this!

This might be one of the most insane scandals in game history When Pokemon Go players scan PokeStops, theyve been unknowingly building a detailed visual model of the world which is being sold to a military contractor to build a no-GPS positioning for the new generation of unmanned killing machines

Here's the full article for those interested. Insanely bleak stuff, I don't think I'll ever be able to look at the Pokemon franchise the same way again dronexl.co/2026/06/09/p...

Pope Leo: "Every boat that arrives does not bring only migrants; it brings with it a question: what world have we built, if so many brothers must risk death to seek life?"
