James Hansen’s new paper suggests that climate sensitivity is underestimated, and that the record-breaking heat in 2023-24 was due to accelerating warming rather than temporary El Niño. I deeply hope it’s wrong, because it suggests we have locked in far more heating than currently understood.

Just spoke at #HWM24 in Fareham, England, about our Irish alpine newt invasion. A great conference and a great opportunity to share our findings with the grandest of people. Stay tuned for our upcoming publications

✝️Yoohoo big Catholic news✝️ 1. Interesting article about how churches are now to give 30% of their land over to biodiversity over the next decade;— a very welcome initiative. However, Christianity has had a huge impact on our landscape historically, so here's a wee thread to dissect its role 🧵

Thochail mé an lochán seo dhá bhlian ó shin, 'is go luath beidh froganna is feithidí ar ais! I dug this pond two years ago, and very soon the frogs and insects will be back!

Positive news that the EU have moved to declare Sika Deer an invasive species. Given the state of our remaining native forests, this is a highly welcome measure. What is not welcome is advocating against this overdue policy change, and repackaging animal cruelty concerns to suit your own interests😡

The last native Irish rainforests are being killed by invasive sika deer + goats eating every last tree seedling. The EU is planning to classify sika as invasive, but here, deer hunting orgs are opposed. Why? They just want lots of stuff to shoot, and to *hell* with ecosystems. 🌍

An frog is lú sa tír, ó Mí Meitheamh. The smollest frog in the world, taken in June.

Appreciation post for the fine frogs I met during the summer. Our native frogs look like ninjas with their eye stripe. Greatly anticipating hanging with these boys again in spring.
