Greta Thunberg speaks to the press after being released from illegal detainment in Israel: "I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me, but that is not the story.”

Buying land for "rewilding" is looking more and more a nice save way for rich people to secure their food supply in a climate chaotic future

What do you know about crowd that bought the land "Oxygen"?

Fertiliser pollution of Irish rivers is getting worse - at a really bad time for the government It comes just as the government is seeking an extension to Ireland’s nitrates derogation.

As the Irish Minister for Agriculture vows to fight for the right to keep filling rivers with levels of agri-pollutants illegal in the rest of the EU, results show a massive leap of 16% in a single year.

Whoever told them it was okay to turn OUR rivers into open sewers?

Full on denial, and it will probably be applied to the farming sector next week

The Climate Conversations 2025 survey is now open. The government is asking people to share their views on building a more sustainable future!

Some of the questions are poorly designed and risk encouraging climate science denial, so it's vital that strong, evidence-based voices are heard!

Or eightballs. . .

The Economist needs to Google "Trains" and "Transport Efficiency" and then sit down and cry in their beers.

What a birthday present!

John Gibbons: Ireland had a 'Goldilocks' climate - but we've been killing Goldilocks Climate writer John Gibbons shares an extract from his new book about how Ireland risks ruining our ‘climatic sweet spot’.

New book by @thinkorswim.bsky.social out today!

Unapologetic, concise, this should blow away a few cobwebs

The far right have joined the bike-lash?
Or they've been there all the time but finally showing their colours by their methods.

Entitlement breeds psychosis- discuss

Collapse of critical Atlantic current is no longer low-likelihood, study finds Scientists say ‘shocking’ discovery shows rapid cuts in carbon emissions are needed to avoid catastrophic fallout

Chisel this in stone.
The way we're going, nobody in 50 years time will have access to the information required to understand and deal with the sudden changes our winters and summers will see.

Or break the Fossil Industries hold on our leaders now.

Only as far as it works as a shake down

Please ignore me - I can have a look at the recipe myself 👍🏻

Yes, sorry.
Carbonara with cream causes me anxiety, I'd listen to the podcast but worry about this

Does the cream in the picture have anything to do with the carbonara?

Have you tried the IFI?

Aye, it was sad and powerful

Just walked past my shop, took about half an hour - decent crowd!

Graphic showing a 9 m wide track for metros can move as many people as a 175 m road for cars.

To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars.

Even if those cars are electric.

And then there’s all the parking.

OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money, emissions, pollution, noise etc.

Choices.

Simple.

Palestine Action ban protest: half of those arrested were 60 or over, data shows Total of 532 arrests at London protest on Saturday, most for displaying placards or signs in support of proscribed group

Three cheers for heroic UK police, who today bravely arrested hundreds of peaceful anti genocide protestors, half of whom were 60+ yrs old.

Meanwhile, Israel murdered entire Al Jazeera news crew in Gaza today. But it’s apparently a crime to object to slaughter.
