Love seeing this move forward 💪

Stop a Canadian corporation harvesting huge forests of seaweed from the west coast There should be a public consultation on this plan opening soon but lets gather signatures to demonstrate the fact that up and down the west coast, thousands of people don't want our seaweed rights gi...

The most important line of this article comes at the end:

"The Department of Heritage, which has responsibility for national parks, referred questions to the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries"

The dept in charge of national parks has no authority for what happens in our marine national park!

Trying to encourage use of the stripes in Comms at work. No luck yet, having to satisfy myself with wearing my stripes shirt instead.
But this is a useful service demo of them in action!

Since (gratefully) getting paid to work in climate action, I have unexpectedly felt lonelier, and have had less energy to stay engaged with environmental current affairs.
It's very easy to work very hard in a ... less connected bubble.
I really want to reverse that & reconnect with bigger picture!

Oooh...

Ecologist accuses government of greenwashing by allowing tangle netting at Páirc Náisiúnta na Mara Ciarraí | RadioKerry.ie Pádraic Fogarty states the practice of tangle netting being allowed at Páirc Náisiúnta na Mara Ciarraí is an example of greenwashing

I am again calling out the vacuous nature of declaring an area a National Park without plans, resources or management measures. This time following the report showing that over a thousand seals were drowned in fishing gear around the Blasket Islands.

Faced with triple crises of climate breakdown, biodiversity loss & pollution, we need to ensure environmental laws remain strong

When nature loses, we all lose

Please add your voice - let EU decision-makers understand need to respect scientific evidence and to keep environmental safeguards intact

Israel just 'broke' a world record for kidney donors - but where did all the organs come from? Forensic evidence and human rights organisations reveal, beyond doubt, organ theft from Palestinians detained in Israel's prisons

Book resting on a fleecy blanket. Book cover is: Climate Worrier - A Hypocrite's Guide to Saving The Planet by Colm O'Regan. The letter "o" in "worrier" is planet Earth in flames. Cover blurbs read, "Made me laugh and think and feel a little lighter" from Irish Times, and, "A winning combination of drily hilarious and thought-provoking, often all at once" from Sunday Independent

I didn't expect to see my own thoughts and feelings splayed quite so consistently across 290 pages 😭❤️‍🩹
A slow read for me, because of repeatedly switching between crying and laughing.

I fear a great many journalists and even environmental orgs did not read the most recent IPCC report past the Summary for Policymakers. Here's why that is a big problem: that part of the report is the only one that is lobbied to hell and back by politicians. Saudi + US pushed CCS hype into it

We live in a climate changed world.

Note to self

That'll learn it. Its brief separation from its sole mate now unnecessarily, heart-breakingly, prolonged by its own foolhardy refusal to come out when it should have. Tough love.

Russia and China, have ramped up recruitment efforts targeting US federal employees—particularly those recently fired or at risk of termination. These efforts are unfolding aggressively on LinkedIn, where adversaries are reaching out under the guise of job opportunities, networking, and consulting.

On Friday, a whole mountain west of Glengarriff was burnt, with a wall of flames visible through the night for miles around.

It's pure ecocide, layered on top of ecocide (sheep), and it just beggars belief that this is still going on in the year 2025.

Trump cares so deeply about lives lost ("on both sides", classic Trump faux-diplomacy) that security guarantees are somehow less important than being thanked sufficiently.
Vance dropped the curtain on an utter shitshow, it was going to end like that one way or another.

The legality (not wisdom) of putting European private data on US clouds hinges on the availability of the US Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board. Trump neutered this board, and the European parliament has taken notice & asked the European Commission what they think:

Cork county has run an annual climate action "Make One Change" month of events across their branches. Libraries are 💚

Some much-needed good news!

The circular logic of climate apartheid: Alphabet can't make its (already bullshit) climate commitments because they have to generate huge emissions for training models that will be used to kill climate refugees.

A graph of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations at the Mauna Loa observatory, Hawaii, from 1958 to 4th February 2025. It shows carbon dioxide levels rising at an accelerating rate over the decades. This is known to be due to emissions of carbon dioxide from human activity, mainly fossil fuel burning but also deforestation. The first CO2 concentration value in March 1958 was 315 parts per million (ppm). The latest daily value is 426 ppm. The graph also shows a seasonal cycle of a few ppm within each year, which is known to be linked to the growing season in the northern hemisphere causing a temporary uptake of carbon in spring and summer and release in autumn. The graph is produced routinely by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego.

Although NOAA's page on atmospheric CO2 levels has vanished, you can still get this vital information from Ralph Keeling's team at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego keelingcurve.ucsd.edu

Don't let science be hidden

An acre of land can power a car to go 13,000 miles per year using biofuel (corn ethanol), or 900,000 miles per year using solar.

We Need Courage, Not Hope, to Face Climate Change | The On Being Project Where do we go when we are beyond hope? A climate scientist reflects on the courage we need to accept that we must continue to pursue solutions, even in the face of failure.

In the face of all this, it's time to reread @drkatemarvel.bsky.social's We Need Courage, Not Hope, to Face Climate Change (not to mention rampant, accelerating fascism).

Yesterday I felt like Americans' window for resistance was rapidly closing.
Today I feel like ours is.
