And then he'll post about it on a website rigged to help Nazis and post non-consensual pornography.

I have resigned from the Greenhouse Gas Protocol's Independent Standards Board. The Protocol is openly violating its own rules and has effectively delegated forest carbon accounting standards to a secret, industry-led working group. ghgpolicy.org/s/2026-06-08...

Data centres will always be a strain on our grid but theres a part engineering solution. They use so much energy to just release heat into the sky Ireland has one of the lowest % of renewable energy in total energy consumed because almost all heating is fossil. Build district heating! #speirgorm

Warming back up again? Weather models continue to show high pressure building from the South and bringing warmer air up into Western Europe by end of week. Animation shows upper air temp forecast.

@dwallacewells.bsky.social: “The real surprise from the OECD’s subsidy numbers is that it cost China less than $18bn in sectoral support over 15 years to build an industry that can now provide more clean power than the world can readily absorb.” 🌞🌞🌞 nitter.net/dwallacewell...

A group accused of being pro-Russian and promoting pseudoscience and conspiracy theories involving aliens was given the green light to hold an event at the European Parliament in Brussels in February. Some MEPs say it poses a “reputational risk.” 🔗 politico.eu/article/eu-p...

"France passed a single law and instantly unlocked 11 gigawatts of #solarenergy — without using new land. In 2023, France's government mandated solar canopies over all car parks larger than 80 spaces. The scale was enormous: There are 400,000 parking areas across France #ActOnClimate #Renewables

MEP @mariawalshmep.bsky.social explains why she opposes 'return hubs', which she argues do not meet humanitarian standards. #RTETWIP repeats at 23:30 tonight on @rteone.rte.ie

Debate on RTÉ radio about migration has not once mentioned that of the three places with “return hubs” we are planning to send failed asylum claimants to, two are repressive dictatorships and one is a failed state run by competing warlords.

I'm not sure the Irish understand the damage the recent story of their pumping economic support into Putin's war machine is doing to their reputation in Central/East Europe. The idea of Ireland standing on the side of the oppressed against imperialists is gone, probably forever.

The rest of Europe to Ireland's transport system. Rennes (a population 1/5 that of Dublin) has two #speirgorm

More costs on EVs on the way after Weber & co dismantled the planned ban on ICE cars. Some would say this is because German made cars are struggling to compete. Ironically it's upping resale value of Chinese EVs making them more attractive.

Republicans are floating awful legislation to make Trump’s crushing farm worker wage cuts law. Why would a farmer hire an American worker when they can get a cheaper guestworker who can't switch jobs, ask for a raise, or ask for fair working conditions? Help us fight back!

It is incredible how easily people are led. PM of Denmark is again Mette Frederiksen was a huge proponent in pushing the EU-Mercosur trade deal which every eNGO has said will increase deforestation. They even used the EU presidency to push it harder www.reuters.com/world/americ... Her coalition also

Climate adaptation (drought on a stony south facing field), GHG reduction (clover reduces nitrogen fert use) and water quality improvement (Plantain reducing nitrate leeching) on the farm today #speirgorm

We have to end his power in November. It is life or death.

This is great. Literally last 5 years all agri events have been around enviro impact, especially climate (now more water). Beyond that, informally the number of times I've heard 'this weather isn't natural' or 'no doubt something is gone wrong' #speirgorm. But solutions are hard, much harder than 1/

Rusal, the company that owns the Co Limerick industrial plant Aughinish Alumina, continues to be controlled by sanctioned Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, according to a confidential report by Swedish tax authorities. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

American ranchers are now going to deal with a devastating parasite problem at a time US beef herd is at an all time low (it's been confirmed in Texas). Next time I hear some Irish dipshit say we need a DOGE here I'm going to point them to this (we have even more complex animal biosecurity programs)

Aughinish Alumina blames ‘clerical error’ for incorrect statistics on exports to Russia. It says correct figure is 51% rather than 83% as reported to the CSO. Government said earlier this week it was 45%. www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

It's a feature of laws that are enacted in Ireland that if the enforcement is delegated to local authorities, but no extra enforcement resources are provided (which they never are), then the intention is either the law is not to be enforced and/or will only apply to the law abiding. #speirgorm

This will be denied by some immediately. Some need easy villains. The fact the uplands are farmed by a variety of people some happy to burn some whose incomes are destroyed by it, simply doesn't fit. Simplify everything to easy narratives #speirgorm

Very bad news. Screwworm appears to have made it to Texas, as was predicted. These parasites eat the living flesh of cattle, cause horrible pain, and can ultimately kill them. Yesterday, USDA Chief Brooke Rollins categorically denied that screwworm was close to the border.

Here in Germany, many people comfort themselves amid fascism by saying "there are more of them than there are of us"; but that doesn't matter, and has never, ever mattered, when the minority is highly motivated and the majority is disaffected, apathetic, or both.

Plug-in hybrid cars emit five times more CO₂ than the official figures used to calculate the extent to which car manufacturers comply with EU CO₂ standards. That is why car manufacturers and politicians with vested interests want to continue using fictitious figures rather than real-world data

Starting Thursday, European Parliament will replace Google with the French search engine Qwant as the default search tool on in-house computers, “in line with the Parliament's commitment to digital sovereignty and the protection of users' personal data.”

Focusing EVs on rural makes sense (higher car dependency/emissions per person) A scrappage scheme makes none, literally counter to environmental. For the same 10m you could provide interest free loans through credit unions. Given EVs running cost savings they pay for themselves #speirgorm

Genuinely how this guy is held up by some in environmental circles is beyond me. Not only dripping with entitlement but actively harmful to the climate. Less said about what he did to the tillage farmers that were actually working for a living on "his" land #speirgorm

How are we doing on our 2030 climate targets? A better question might be - How is ireland doing on the 2020 target? We still havent reached it and wont until 2029 at the earliest. Listen: 👉 www.rte.ie/radio/radio1... #climate #speirgorm

Dereliction is a social crime & should be treated as such Me & @judesherry.bsky.social were delighted to provide input into this latest @news.rte.ie investigation into #DerelictIreland led by Conn Corrigan being shown tonight on @rteprimetime.bsky.social #speirghorm

Danish Pension Fund Blacklists SpaceX. Previously, dumped US Treasuries over Trump's threat to Greenland. It says Spacex is “grossly overvalued”, and has “catastrophic governance structure” as Elon Musk strives to be a trillionaire. Any chance of City of London growing a backbone? archive.ph/dsVfR

There we go! Ann Arbor, Michigan stepping up to the plate! They're offering $7,500 to income-qualified EV buyers, $5,000 to the others, and $4,000 to used EV purchasers. Oh yeah, $7,500 for businesses who buy all-electric vehicle too! They'll sell like hot cakes. cleantechnica.com/2026/06/01/e...

Throwback to when a TV station in Iceland accidentally aired an episode of Teletubbies with subtitles from the Sopranos 👌🏼

As a non drinker for health reasons maybe it's because we've tried for decades a puritanical approach and it's utterly failed? Then they go into the arms of spaces pushing cheap drink as fast as possible then close early. If anything now I think clubs & bars are pushing binge worse than my time!

Europe creates its own ICE, including home raids, deportations and indefinite detention in far away countries. There will be gross and large scale human rights violations. This is pure far right policy and anyone endorsing it does so knowingly. Don’t let anyone ever pretend they did not know.

Ah yes this coming to Ireland and our famously straight roads and easy driving conditions sounds like a great idea 👍

Jaysus even rural towns and villages have become hostile to 'the youths'on a night out going by my experience this weekend. Everything closes so early it leaves no time for craic No wonder between it and rents they're all leaving again #speirgorm

I'm actually fascinated by how the misinformation about solar panels being somehow good on agricultural land has spread. Like there's an argument around % needed (even if it doesn't stack up in Ireland) but if I'm told one more time that solar panels improve crop production or help sheep...

Has anyone else seen those ads for AI where it's the stupidest uses I can think of. Like imagine not getting laughed out of any room trying this, and it's a genuine advert from Microsoft! Imagine putting up our bills and drinking our water to just produce this #speirgorm youtu.be/6kP_YlHEAhk?...

I‘m getting pretty annoyed at Gov treating AI like it’s a force of nature; It’s a set of proprietary products battling for market monopoly So why is our Gov shilling for it? Adopting takes trust; trust takes knowing someone has our back; ”AIReady” isn’t that www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

Nearly 2 billion people live in the red area. It is becoming completely uninhabitable. What do the climate deniers, who also hate immigration, think is going to happen?
