We are turning Earth into a unlivable Hot House Earth
Earth was about 2.65 degrees Fahrenheit (or about 1.47 degrees Celsius) warmer in 2024 than in the late 19th-century (1850-1900) preindustrial average.

The 10 most recent years are the warmest on record.

Ireland issues formal rebuke of Israel via UN after troops came under fire in Lebanon Today in Lebanon, an Israeli strike killed one person in the south of the country despite a six-month-old supposed ceasefire.

The Irish army are Óglaigh na hÉireann, whose official English name is the Irish Defence Forces [IDF]. The Israeli military [IDF] have fired on & bombed na Óglaigh peacekeepers sporadically. Apparently Death to Irish troops is fine, but rhetorically calling for it for the Israeli IDF is not*. #Irony

It's very easy to not use AI image generators. Less than zero effort required. There's no reason to help normalise it at all.

Across Ireland, countless ash plantations have been wiped out by ash dieback. A similar threat hangs over sitka.

When will forestry 'experts' grasp that planting monocultures is madness on every level, and that a radically new direction – diverse, wild native forest *ecosystems* – is needed NOW?

Screenshot from an article that reads

On Monday, the ministry published a list of names of 15,613 children under the age of 18 who it said had been killed in Israeli military operations in Gaza.
Among them, 890 children were under the age of 1, and 274 were born and died during the war. Almost a quarter, 26%, were under the age of 5.

This report should break something in all of us.

15,613 children.

The first 27 pages of the report list children whose ages are 0.

26% were under the age of 5

Mining Company Seeks Trump Support to Shortcut Access to Seabed Metals (Gift Article) Mining companies and the Trump administration want the metals to boost manufacturing. Environmentalists and some countries worry industrial mining would harm oceans.

The Metals Company is trying to circumvent the International Seabed Authority and get the Trump administration to approve mining of the deep sea.

We have to stop seeing the ocean as a place to exploit instead of a place of wonder and beauty and an essential part of our life support system.

This is not normal. Greenlanders do not want ti be part of America, they have made this very clear. This cannot be an official visit as you cannot invite yourself to another country as an “official delegation”.

Ridiculous

an early medieval ringfort, looking over green countryside towards distant mountains

The King's Fort • Derry

This is one of the best preserved ringforts in Ulster.

It likely dates to some time between the 6th-11th century.

It is situated on the southern slopes of Benbradagh, commanding spectacular views over Drumsurn in County Derry.
