More money to the fossil fuel industry. The government is yet to introduce any meaningful measures to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels in response to this fossil fuel crisis.

“New research found 98% of environmental claims made by 33 global agri-food firms were deceptive or intentionally misleading. Incredibly, only 3 of 1,200 claims were supported by scientific evidence”. My piece in today’s @irishexaminer.bsky.social www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

I have a favour to ask those of you who AREN’T from the city-building professions, who probably have LOTS of followers who don’t spend much time thinking about better ways for more people to get around cities with less space, fewer crashes & emissions, etc. Please share the article below. Thanks!

Amazing job by www.urbantruthcollective.com 🙌 👍🏼 The real “urban conspiracy” isn’t proximity, it’s distance. The “One-Hour City” traps millions in long commutes, car dependence and lost time. We need cities of proximity, time, and quality of life 🙏🏻 @brenttoderian.bsky.social @urbantruth.bsky.social

I wrote this for Earth Day 2 years ago, and every word of it still rings true for me. These days I need wild, untamed nature more than ever. #EarthDay2026 #HandsOffNature

Dublin currently has ZERO cycle lanes under construction. You'd think the climate crisis, collapsing AMOC, fossil fuel supply crisis, obesity epidemic, traffic jams or appalling road death increases didn't exist. No urgency. Just subsidies for ... yep... more fossil fuels 😞

Republicans know they are about to lose the House and are trying to give Big Oil its holy grail: legal immunity from any futures actions that would hold the industry responsible for the climate crisis it knowingly caused and is making worse every day. climateintegrity.org/news/view/br...

See, we can have all the active transport infrastructure in the world, but unless attitudes change this shit will keep happening.

Can you imagine the headline: 'Attempted murder arrest after knife hits pedestrian on Argyll Street'? No, of course you can't. Because no sub would ever write that!!

“…Irreversible for hundreds to thousands of years” “Irreversible”. This is infinitely more consequential than Trump, oil prices, Hormuz etc. yet we continue to ignore it.

The suggestion that Ireland should reverse the ban on drilling for oil and gas has popped up again. I made a programme looking at this from every imaginable angle. Listen: 👉 www.rte.ie/radio/radio1... Spoiler alert: The arguments for drilling don’t add up.

Stop subsidizing sprawl! If you want a big fully detached house with a private yard, you should have to pay what that actually costs. It’s outrageous that we’ve artificially made suburbia cheaper than the city in North America.

Parents are pleading for traffic dangers around Harold’s Cross Educate Together National School to be addressed. Changes to improve safety are part of the planning permission, while a walkability audit five years back made recommendations, too.

“Amsterdam is set to ban climate-damaging advertising [fossil fuel & meat adverts] in public spaces, following a trend spreading across Dutch cities. France has also enacted legislation outlawing adverts from non-renewable energy companies, & one Italian city has plans to do the same.” #UrbanTruth

The only way to durably protect hauliers - and the economy - against fossil fuel shocks is to support them to electrify trucks. Sales of electric trucks in China outsold diesel trucks last December. So far this year, only one electric HVG was newly registered in Ireland. #fuelprotests #speirgorm

“In London cyclists now outnumber cars in the City by 2 to 1. Paris, where they now outnumber motorists across the whole city, is catching up with Europe’s traditional bike capitals, Amsterdam & Copenhagen…In Copenhagen, bikes account for almost half of commuter trips to work/school.” @economist.com

Another small piece of the puzzle

Today, March 20th, is World Rewilding Day! The thing is with rewilding, it doesn't just have the power to reverse nature loss, but to bring immense meaning, wonder and joy to the lives of all those who engage. After nearly 17 years myself, I can tell you it just keeps on getting better and better.

I think I was pretty visible today when a woman pulled out of a driveway without looking and nearly hit me. I had a blinking front light too. High-viz will never be a solution for poor infrastructure and dangerous drivers.

“Cycle lanes are empty” is same mindet as “bus lanes are empty” cranks — Dubliners should be mad they don’t have more cycle lanes -- More people are cycling, but a faster-built connected network is needed to step it up a gear.-- A few projects short in Dublin City Centre could add to a developing…

The vast majority of the Irish public feel distress, sadness, anger, grief, fear, despair, guilt, frustration, and worry at nature loss and environmental decline. Why is this never reflected in actual government policy??? share.google/YVnm9xodOzuP...

Urban greenway? Cycling on N11 is safer, says some councillors, but officials confirm "no good planning reason" for shortening the route irishcycle.com/2026/03/09/u...

More and more people are cycling regularly in Dublin. And people would like to cycle more - but they want to be safe, on cycle lanes that are separated from traffic.

The article goes on to talk about the cycle lane being proposed for Chapelizod Road and Conyngham Road. Positive as that is, it doesn't address the issue in the article - there is no safe way to cycle through the village itself

Irresponsible, head-in-the-sand journalism at its finest. Not a single mention of the emissions involved, nor of the very real damage this scale of air travel inflicts on human health and the planet.
