I think this means 'stupid' in Vermont. We can always count on Vermont to be a bit different...

Ash dieback spread 'past its peak' in the South West While new research suggests infection rates may be slowing, conservationists say the impact remains severe.

Our beautiful ash tree starting to push through. Fears of up to 90% loss much reduced. Natural resistance growing @greenparty.org.uk

Sorry 17,800 votes, mixed my numbers. Total electorate 76k kinda like pre revolution France

Congratulations to my friend @hazelchu.bsky.social running 4th in the Trinity panel for Seanad, behind by only 31 of 76,000 votes. Recount tomorrow. If she gets over the line at least our university graduates are ready to vote 50-50 for women. Our electorate and government seem to think 25% is OK?

Today I heard former President Mary Robinson speak about #ProjectDandelion, the rise of misinformation, the importance of the Digital Service Act, and her new role as a ‘Guardian of the Planetary Boundaries’. Truly inspiring. Thanks Coimisiún na Meán for organising #ClimateJustice

Opinion: We don’t need a new Occupied Territories Bill – improve this one and pass it quickly A revisit of the Occupied Territories Bill can’t throw the baby out with the bathwater, says Green Party leader Roderic O’Gorman.

My op-ed on why we need to progress the current Occupied Territories Bill 👇

We also need to make progress with Home Energy Management System (HEMS) - where our solar and batteries can continue to run in an isolated circuit during power outages - with a few 22V sockets to power our essentials. THIS IS THE 2st C GENERATOR. @maynoothuni.bsky.social

EV owners using cars to power homes during outages Electric vehicle owners have been using their cars as a power source in their homes during power cuts caused by Storm Éowyn.

The 21st Century generator - we need to start talking about this. We go into storms with phones, laptops and CARS 100% charged. Many are using the power plug in the car to power essentials in house - with up to a week's worth of energy stored in a modern car. www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

Congratulations on the opposition standing united to block this! You cannot write the program for government and then claim to be the opposition.
Time for the Healy-Raes to stop playing both sides.

Sinn Féin's transport policies are failing Belfast. Despite traffic volumes on major routes like the M1 and Upper Newtownards Road falling by up to 18% since 2013, congestion has worsened.

Ciarán Cuffe: While LA burns, Fianna Fáil says pro-climate policies are ‘open for discussion’ Obfuscation, delays and denial are being used by national political leaders on both sides of the Atlantic, and similar tactics can also be found closer to home

I regret none of the climate policies we pushed in Ireland. But we underestimated the backlash | Eamon Ryan From rural buses to solar panels, our Green agenda has been transformative. Vested interests and big polluters helped to poison the well of public thinking

We can be proud that we had courage and held to our convictions @eamonryan.bsky.social
