“The Irish government balked at introducing any such moderate, sensible energy-saving measures, presumably fearful of backlash from a public conditioned to believe that any sacrifice, no matter how small, is intolerable”. My take is in @thejournal.ie today. www.thejournal.ie/readme/carbo...

Hey @bsky.app - have you tried turning it off and on again?

EV drivers on my local Facebook group now offering lifts to those without fuel who need to get to vital appointments. #fuelprotests #speirgorm

BREAKING: Police unlawfully arrest Elizabeth Morley, aged 80, under the Terrorism Act. Whilst being taken away for peacefully holding a sign in support of Palestine Action, she says the mass arrests are a "very stupid thing to do". www.everyoneday.uk

In Turkey, an elderly man who earns his living by shining shoes is visited every morning at the same time by a cat that asks to have its fur brushed. The man never turns down this little friend.😍👍💙

Tonight in Budapest’s Heroes’ Square, a sea of young Hungarians—who’ve only ever known Orbán’s corrupt, suffocating regime—are packed together, singing, chanting, and daring to dream of freedom again. Their hope is raw, their courage is real. The heart of Europe is beating in Budapest tonight. 🇭🇺❤️🇪🇺

Frances Perkins was a principal architect of the New Deal. As FDR’s Secretary of Labor (1933–1945) & the first woman to serve in a US cabinet, she was one of the most important figures shaping the New Deal’s landmark labor & social welfare programs. She was born #OTD in 1880. (1/2)

No one should actually do this, but imagine if climate activists blocked the pathway of these trucks, so that the police would then have to come and arrest / jail / fine all the climate people so that the trucks could go back to blocking traffic for everyone else www.nrk.no/vestfoldogte...

Spanish PM Pedro calls for the IMMEDIATE ARREST of Netanyahu He said: "Netanyahu launched the worst possible unjustified attack against Lebanon. His contempt for life and international law is intolerable. He is a criminal that must be arrested immediately.” #cdnpoli

I forget who said that women should always be in charge of war, because men get too emotional about it, but somehow it’s been coming to mind recently.

1/ Why is atmospheric CO₂ accelerating faster than fossil fuel emissions are growing? The answer is buried in the data, and it's more worrying than most people realise. A thread. 🧵👇

While optimistic noises may be made about our progress in limiting emissions, the underlying problem is not being tackled by effective policy measures. While our EU partners have achieved average emission reductions of 40% since 1990, we have managed a measly 5%. www.antaisce.org/news/is-the-...

Imagine spending your entire life in a bare, crowded cage - never seeing the sky; never feeling the wind; never touching the earth with your feet. To call these industrial horror factories 'farms' is an insult to decent farmers everywhere. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"The Cardinal of Naples, Don Mimmo Battaglia, wrote a powerful and painful letter addressed to the 'merchants of death', those who continue to trade in war while the world counts its dead. Read this letter. Calmly. Respectfully. With an open heart." www.pressenza.com/2026/03/to-t...

Also walking, bicycles, busses and trains - right? Right?

If you're sick of Trump, Farage, Putin, Netanyahu and the rest; if you're tired of the lies, the misinformation and the bullshit; if you despair at all the authoritarianism, the cruelty and hate... Then join Woodie Guthrie and Bette Midler and sing along...!! #NoKings bsky.app/profile/meid...

Its incredible to me that so much geopolitical conflict involves exactly the same dynamics as two drunks having a go at each other outside a pub on a Saturday night.

This reminds me of a quote I once read from a climate scientist working in Svalbard: "I've spent my career working out how fucked we are to three decimal places", he said. "I don't think working it out to four decimal places is going to make much of a difference".

This is the figure up on top of a mountain in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. In cities, downwind of burning, or indoors, it can be much higher. Cognitive effects start around 1000ppm.

The IOC has announced a trans and intersex athlete ban requiring an invasive SRY genetic test for female athletes. In the 20+ years trans women were eligible, only one ever competed and none ever medaled. This is solving for a problem that doesn't exist. www.nbcnews.com/sports/olymp...

NEWS: Bette Midler just released a remake of Woody Guthrie’s classic protest song “All You Fascists Bound to Lose,” updated to fit the current moment and urge action ahead of the midterms. You have to listen to this.

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

"I never expected that science itself would come under attack." "I'm leaving [NASA] because I want to tell the truth."

Fox hunting is cruel. But spare also a thought for the 1.5 million pigs in Ireland whose horrific existence in Auschwitz-like factory 'farms' is tolerated for the sake of a few pence on the price of rashers and sausages. Unlike foxes, they never see the sky or feel the earth. They exist in hell.

The easiest and most effective climate action possible costs almost nothing, forces nobody to change anything, and is opposed by almost no public political constituency. It simply involves (1) banning fossil fuel ads and (2) requiring point-of-sale information on the true costs of fossil fuel use.

Pilots and especially astronauts are trained to "work the problem." Even, perhaps especially, if the situation seems truly hopeless. Because the only sure way to lose is to not even try. Cynical pessimism and despair are very seductive traps. Been there myself. But they paralyse you. And others.

Paris 2019 v. Today: I don’t think people realize how immense @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s legacy will be.

Was just chatting with a taxi driver about this and it seems about 1000 taxi drivers have come together so far to create an alternative to the big apps. They hoping to bring more drivers in but they need people to use it. He asked that ppl try this app first! apps.apple.com/ie/app/tap-a...

If you don't know why you believe what you know, then its not your belief - its somebody elses.

Leave the pigs alone.

Ocean warming is causing a nearly 20% drop in fish biomass every year. At the same time, marine heatwaves can temporarily boost some populations, which masks long-term losses and making fisheries management even more complicated. oceanographicmagazine.com/news/chronic...

The courageous integrity of Francesca Albanese is a refreshing contrast to the corruption and degeneracy of Trump, the brutal thuggery of Putin and Netanyahu, and the equivocating cowardice of Starmer, Merz and so many others.

El Nino strength is important, but the extraordinary, accelerating, warming of global sea surface temperatures is much more important. See Super El Nino? – mailchi.mp/caa/super-el... Also available on Substack: jimehansen.substack.com/p/super-el-n...

we can remember that the Trump war is illegal and evil while also remembering that the Iranian regime is evil.

8. Yet turn on the radio or open a newspaper, and you will hear the term “free market capitalism” (or simply “the free market”, used as a metonym for capitalism) blithely recited as if it were an unquestionable truth. “Free market capitalism” is a contradiction in terms. Resist this lie. Thank you.

The US is now the 66th most free country in the world, tied with Jamaica, Seychelles, South Africa and Suriname, according to the Freedom House 2026 Freedom in the World report. Finland, in first place, is the land of the free. freedomhouse.org/country/scor...

Let me tell you something about Cuba. US officials are constantly saying "socialism in Cuba is a failure". But in fact Cuba's achievements with socialism are extremely impressive:

We need to lower bills, protect the NHS and rebuild our public services. Today I started to outline how we can make hope normal again. Here's the live stream plus the journalist q&a: www.youtube.com/live/QH1QAoD...

"Imagine what could be done if people actually cared." Ultimately, climate change isn't a scientific problem, or a communications problem, or a technological problem, or even a political problem. At its core, it is a moral problem.
