Such phenomenal news - few elections matter to all life on Earth than those in Brazil! 🇧🇷 www.irishtimes.com/world/americ...

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

This is a red alert issue. Potential source of another pandemic but American officials ignoring bird flu outbreak to protect mink fur trade. 😡🤬. www.propublica.org/article/bird...

Beautiful solution to invasives... ruminants love to eat giant hogweed!

How salt marshes can offer coastal protection from storms.

True energy security comes from rapidly expanding homegrown renewables, not continuing our reliance on volatile fossil fuels. The idea that we need more drilling to fund them is exactly what the fossil fuel lobby wants us to believe.

It doesn't really matter whether you're a right-wing populist or a left-wing-cosplaying government, if you allow and enable more oil and gas then the effect on the climate, nature and the world's poorest is the same either way: crisis, destruction and death.

Unbelievable weakness by Andy Burnham. Shell 1 - The rest of us 0.

Horse chestnut have difficulty regenerating in native range in Balkans. Did missing megafauna used to spread horse chestnut in Europe? Another example why rewilding looks back beyond the last ice age to understand the missing ecological processes that contributed to much greater past biodiversity.

No, not a Russian oil refinery going up in smoke... sheep farming in SW Ireland. Origin green?!

🌰👑 Meet Acorn-zilla! After bumper acorn years in 2024 & 2025, oak trees seem to have taken 2026 off #AcornScarcity Then we found this monster at Ballinakelly Wood in Carlow. Destined to grow taller than the Burj Khalifa? Maybe not. Destined to grow ancient alongside its parents? Most definitely!

A hefty windfall tax by all govts would go down nicely 💶 💵 💷

The winner of Nobel peace prize doing what the Government of the United Kingdom will not do: calling Israel's actions in Gaza a genocide.

Follow the money to their fossil fuel bosses.

EU ban on lead in gunshot. Applies to Northern Ireland too. 🥳

🚨 NEW REPORT: The pesticide industry didn't just lobby on the EU's Food & Feed Omnibus. More like they co-wrote it. This report shows how. Check it out 👉 corporateeurope.org/en/2026/10/f... Thread 🧵👇

How running an experiment was critical for the survival of this rewilding project. youtu.be/e8loyBgiNPs?...

Wise words in this thread - "What does the evidence tell us the land can sustain? What do the places we belong to ask of us? And how do we negotiate the remaining choices fairly, together?" We should think like this with all land.

Building a nest to encourage Ospreys to take up residence at Knepp

Dear Irish Government, If we overlook the small fact of our future survival, what part of a potential €26 billion in climate compliance costs do you not understand? Trumpian idiocy. 🤬

Ireland's chronic over-dependence on HGVs for freight leaves us at mercy of every fuel crisis & cutting diesel prices is only a short-term salve. We need to shift to rail freight & electrify our HGV fleet, as I explain in @irishexaminer.bsky.social today. www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

This is such a bad policy and a waste of public money. We should not be paying farmers foe simply owning sheep guven the enormous damage they cause. www.farmersjournal.ie/news/news/if...

Far from taking pride in it, the men who killed this magnificent animal should be deeply ashamed. That swift, sleek, wonderful monster, flashing with holographic colours, reduced to a dead black lump. www.devonlive.com/news/devon-n...

Sure, AI companies steal ideas, creativity & expertise to monetise them on a colossal scale. And OK, they’re losing literally billions every week in this gigantic Ponzi scheme. But at least they’re also threatening to wipe out humanity as well, so let’s all try to keep some perspective here.

Perhaps the Ireland team and FAI should follow Gavin Bazunu, show some courage and boycott the next match... or fail again to add pressure on Israel after the mass UN walkout?

As thick as the silt they are removing. It will certainly help it flow alright... straight to the next town at risk of flooding. 😡

Love this about the dynamics of wild horses on grasslands. Some interesting online talks coming up connected to this: Jens-Christian Svenning on wild horses- vildmarken.dk/article/onli... and Leo Linnartz on on cattle behaviour - vildmarken.dk/article/onli...

What should Ukraine's landscapes look like after the war? Recovery goes beyond rebuilding: sustainable forests, ecological restoration, community participation, better governance. The future is not just about recovery. It is about the choices we make today. #PostWarRecovery #Sustainability #Ukraine

1/ People keep saying AI is inevitable. History disagrees. Plenty of technologies were called unstoppable, and societies stopped them or shrank them down to a niche. A thread 🧵

UN commission finds that Israel has deliberately targeted Palestinian children resulting in genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

The Government are proposing that a developer building up to 250 houses won't have to assess at even a basic level the impacts of that development on the environment. This would be unlawful & disastrous for the environment. www.rte.ie/news/politic...

"Not everybody knows that Ireland is actually home to spectacular cold-water coral reefs."

Fishy Farage at it again. No end to his talents.

The old story of big business and/or wealthy individuals corrupting government to the detriment of everyone & the environment. The more practices like this are exposed the better.

No doubt this will back up earlier research which found trawling to be a carbon source doi.org/10.5061/drya...

We were told that the measure agriculture was taking were working and just needed time to show results.... www.rte.ie/news/2026/09...

Look at this photo we found from Donald Trump Jr.’s lavish Bahamas wedding. Can you spot the Russian oligarch close to Putin who bankrolled the event? 🧵

I'm not a religious person, but if there were such a thing as the Antichrist, he would do what Trump does every day. Destroying our beautiful planet and the lives of its people for the sake of A. profit and B. a vengeful urge to destroy what other people love. So yes, demonic is the right word.

"British woodlands (except pine) burn like damp adbestos" - Oliver Rackham... and Spanish ones and Irish and French and Scottish and German and and (insert country with broadleaf woodlands here) etc. Repeat ad infinitum.

Will Labour get a bloody nose? Let's hope so.
