Hannah Daly: Irish people are again paying a high price for our reliance on fossil fuels But renewable energy relies on resources that will never run out and cannot be cut off as act of aggression

In my @irishtimes.com op-ed today I argue that our climate law is the best framework we have for making energy secure and affordable, because it tackles the root cause of our vulnerability to energy shocks - our dependence on fossil fuels.

World’s largest krill harvester at centre of row over ‘blue tick’ sustainability label Aker Qrill is facing criticism of its fishery management amid calls by environmentalists for curbs on Antarctic fishing of the keystone species

The fishing of krill is putting marine wildlife at risk.❗

To protect this fragile ecosystem, the fishery needs to be paused until stronger management and safeguards are in place.

Today, I spoke on War & Politics 24 about the narratives Russian propaganda uses to impose the idea that Europe has failed, grown weak, and that Putin is winning. We discussed how to counter this and develop our own narrative. Listen via the link — www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dJi...

Reclaim the moral compass: a call for courageous leaders - Greenpeace International It will take all of us to break through the fear and noise and show our leaders a better path.

I just signed an open letter joining the urgent call for peace, justice and a healthy future. We need to turn the volume up on a better moral compass set of morals which leaders everywhere must be judged by. Will you also add your voice to this important call? act.gp/4bGVSAm

Stand with Greenland! Greenland is facing a bully. Let’s make this the biggest solidarity petition -- and stand up together against Trump's bullying.

Trump thinks he can take over Greenland and no one will care. Let’s prove him wrong. secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/...

Spanish PM Sanchez says US invasion of Greenland 'would make Putin happiest man on earth' Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said a U.S. invasion of Greenland "would make Putin the happiest man on earth" in a newspaper interview published on Sunday.

"If we focus on Greenland, I have to say that a U.S. invasion of that territory would make Vladimir Putin the happiest man in the world. Why? Because it would legitimize his attempted invasion of Ukraine," he said in an interview in La Vanguardia newspaper

I very genuinely think answering this question is obscenely important. Even if it's something as boring as 'Musk can threaten consequences, particularly through Trump / US, if they shut it down'.

But not a single soul is being forced in any way to keep using it as a comms platform: no one.

As extreme weather hits Europe, costs are rising. Banks should help mitigate climate risks but @shareaction.bsky.social’s new analysis shows:

⚠️Progress has slowed. Some big banks are even backtracking
🌍Average bank scores: Climate 52%, Biodiversity 22%, Indigenous rights 7%
🔗 tinyurl.com/mvyummp3

Our new analysis of Europe’s largest banks has found progress on climate has ground to a standstill, and in some cases, reversed

As environmental and social risks rise, banks’ responses are still falling short: the average score across the 25 banks was 41%🔽

Brazil’s environment agency, IBAMA, has approved an environmental license for state-owned oil company Petrobras to drill for oil near the mouth of the Amazon River.

Environmental groups have vehemently condemned the decision, saying they will pursue legal action.

In the next post, Ketan says a trillion barrels of oil is 430 GtCO2. Every ton of CO2 emitted causes 0.00026 excess deaths between now and 2100.
Conclusion: unlocking an extra trillion barrels of oil kills 112 million people.
