This actually happened

❌ KICK BIG POLLUTERS OUT! Week one of #COP30 is over! It was not only puppies & rainbows (🤮 1600 fossil fuel lobbies) but the ray of light was definitely the Peoples' Summit & the climate march, bringing tens of thousands of people to the streets demanding #ClimateJusticeNow & #JustTransitionNow 💫

Crazy to see these cabbage whites out on the brassicas today a good 6 weeks after you would expect to see them in July to September. The seasons are all muddled up

Taoiseach sounding more and more unhinged as he grapples to express 2 opposing opinions at the same time. www.irishtimes.com/environment/...

The European Union supports Israel. 🇪🇺🇮🇱🇩🇪

🌿 How to build Spongy Green Cities? 1️⃣ Replace concrete with permeable greens. 2️⃣ Link parks, ponds & trees into urban eco-networks. 3️⃣ Restore wetlands & native plant zones. 4️⃣ Harvest every raindrop — recharge, don’t drain. 5️⃣ Design with nature, not against it. 💧 Let cities soak, breathe & thrive.

Why Spongy Cities? 1️⃣ To absorb floods, not suffer them. 2️⃣ To recharge groundwater & cool microclimates. 3️⃣ To turn rain into life — not runoff. 4️⃣ To make cities breathe, not choke. 5️⃣ To create natural immunity green spaces to save lives from pandemics. 🌱 A spongy city mimics nature’s wisdom

I will be seeking an urgent debate this week in the Dáil with a statement from Minister for Justice. Wanton use of batons, pepper spray and violence by Gardaí on display once again.

The rights of nature is one of the fastest-growing movements on the planet. Now, scientists are increasingly signing on, working with Indigenous communities and others to advance laws and philosophies on behalf of the more-than-human world.

EU sending warships. Oh wait.

EMERGENCY: ISRAEL ATTACKS GSF Israel has attacked the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters. People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and the Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon. 1 of 2

🚨Gaza and Gazans urgently need humanitarian aid. The Flotillas for Gaza is are civilian and humanitarian initiatives to support Gaza and to break the siege. They are in danger! ➡️ Email your government now to protect & support the Flotilla⛵️ app.sosha.ai/s/XKis2Xcr

I just emailed Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan, Minister of State Niall Collins, and the Taoiseach demanding Ireland does not support the new Chat Control bill which lets the EU read all of your WhatsApp and Signal messages without encryption. Will you do the same? action.uplift.ie/campaigns/st...

The largest citizen flotilla in history is sailing to Gaza with food and medicine. Israel has threatened to seize it - but together we can be their shield. Add your name to help watch over the flotilla and demand its safe passage! action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-09...

Medical doctors, humanitarian aid workers and volunteers from 140 countries, including Greta Thunberg, are part of the Global Sumud Flotilla sailing to take food and medicine to starving children in Gaza. Italian dock workers unions will shut down European ports if the flotilla is stopped.

'EPA tests on wastewater at the North Cork Co-Op Creamery Plant adjacent to site of a large Blackwater River fish kill two weeks ago found Co-Op not compliant with its discharge licences ... ammonia levels in discharge were 52 times over permitted limit' www.rte.ie/news/regiona...

End SUVS * Tax them by weight * Insist that pass pedestrian impact tests * Impose fines for exceeding allocated parking spaces * Charge them higher for ULEZ entry * Charge them higher for residential parking permits * Stop them from entering narrow roads * Ban them from outside schools

This video from PBS which was released yesterday explains how badly economists misjudge the physical planetary reality their economic fantasies are based on:

Brave. Keep us posted Sarah

The Galway city Ring road is back again. The council can't seem to think outside the box. when it comes to transport we need a modal shift, more roads always lead to more cars. Let's look to Paris and Amsterdam where they are getting it right.

Powerful demonstration on shop street Galway on Saturday. Each square represents 10 Palestinian Children murdered by The Israeli regime. The blanket produced to honour the innocent children of Gaza is touring Ireland.

Oil giants are bleeding the planet dry in the pursuit of PROFITS. Brave activists are taking a STAND.

We need to force the Gaza Legal Case to the top of the national conversation. I am backing the Gaza Legal Case. Will you share and spread the word? action.uplift.ie/campaigns/su...

Irish government is blocking these children's visas. #LetThemPlay #GaaPalestine my.uplift.ie/petitions/le... @uplift.ie

youtu.be/ECkVO4F_38I I support Palestine Action.

Our message to EU leaders: stop failing. Stop failing the EU treaties, the Genocide Convention, the ICC, EU citizens - and, most of all, the Palestinian people. Stop failing. #SuspendTheDeal: www.hrw.org/news/2025/06...

action.eko.org/a/eu-stop-th... please support if you can. I'm finally hearing talk of EU trade suspensions so pressure is starting to work.

Don't stay silent on Gaza. Netanyahu's actions violate human rights and Europe needs to act. I've just emailed EU politicians to demand the suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement. ➡️ Send your email now and make a difference. share.greens-efa.eu/s/u7l8JKQQ

James O'Brien shares his view after Israel intercepted Greta Thunberg's efforts to bring aid to Gaza on a ship carrying 12 activists. youtu.be/M1Xrhxzuvp4?...

“We've gone beyond living in a tragedy. We're complicit in it". Western complicity in Israel’s mass extermination campaign against civilian population of Palestine is a crime we will never be forgiven for. www.rte.ie/news/world/2...

We get an update from the Madleen, the Freedom Flotilla ship sailing to Gaza with vital humanitarian aid for Palestinians. Brazilian activist Thiago Ávila, one of 12 people on the ship, says “spirits are high” despite the constant presence of drones overhead and threats from the Israeli government.

Wrong wrong. This is bureaucratic nonsense, an accounting trick so we look good on paper.

The UK Gov intends to hand tens of billions in public money to the fossil fuel industry for a huge wave of 𝙉𝙀𝙒 fossil gas infrastructure. Let's be clear: this is a total scam. They argue the emissions will be captured, but there's a massive catch👇 This must be stopped. scrapcc.org/CCS-ACTION-BS1

Brilliant piece by @whittledaway.bsky.social! We should be ashamed!

Consider #LetItBloomJune now that #NoMowMay has ended for another year, even a wee strip of messy grass is really helpful for nature 🌷🦔🪲🌿🐝🦋🌱

www.councilestatemedia.uk/p/middle-age... Greta knows that the root cause of the climate crisis is the same as the root cause of the genocide in Palestine, power and Greed and total lack of compassion in this capitalist world. This is an act of love.

There is so much pain and grief and hunger.

Our first brood of swallows have fledged, sitting waiting for parents to come and feed them

This, from those notorious Leftists on the…Financial Times editorial board…is bang on the money.

These pieces should not be published without explicit mention of climate change. It is irresponsible journalism to glorify these completely unsustainable travel habits. Do better Irish Times!
