This is very good framing, and a good counterpoint to doomism. "Overshooting 1.5C is not a reason to give up"

Overshooting 1.5°C is not a reason to give up. On the contrary, it’s a reason to act faster, because the higher the temperature rise and the longer it stays there, the greater the damage. Here’s what “overshoot” means and why every fraction of a degree matters.

What is happening in and around Antarctica should be such a wake-up call! The Earth is progressively losing its ability to reflect heat which the oceans keep absorbing. Payback time is looming large on the horison. Where are the emissions emergency brakes?! Data: ads.nipr.ac.jp/vishop/#/ext...

i actually am besides myself do you know how many irish-by-blood feckers don’t meet these criteria?? maybe we should strip them off voting rights?? yous are pissing me off. my ancestors didn’t survive the holocaust for y’all to fuck me and my family like this. show us respect i’m no longer asking

The proposed changes to citizenship are really pissing me off. We had an election 2 years ago (feels longer, but it wasn’t ) and this was not in the manifesto of either of the government parties. www.immigrantcouncil.ie/news/propose...

its me, a migrant, working a civil service job keeping shit running, its my migrant mother cleaning the fucking hospital toilets, its my migrant father making ye fucking sausages in the meat factory, its my boyfriend’s migrant father saving newborns on call. stop treating us like a fucking plague

and don’t anyone even dare come to me with “oh but youre here legally!” or “oh but you contribute to the economy” or “oh but youre integrated and speak fluent english” i will not be debating these points i’ll just chew your face off.

Ireland’s EU Presidency is first and foremost about serving global capital. Simplification means a bonfire of hard won regulations and oversight. Competitiveness means rolling back workers rights and employer obligations. Some call it tech feudalism, but it’s much worse than that.

RTÉ are willing to boycott The Eurovision. Imagine being part of the FAI and realising you work for an organisation with less moral courage than RTÉ. In fact, RTÉ should refuse to screen the Israel matches and show the FAI just how craven and cowardly they are. #StopTheGame #SpeirGorm #SpéirGhorm

Wow, 800,000 tons (725,750 tonnes) of CO₂ every year! Impressed? You shouldn't be. Europe emits about 3.3 billion tonnes of greenhouse gas equivalents annually from domestic production. (Eurostat) So that's about 0.02% capture then. #CCS

Much as we love bookshops, they need more than love to keep going. A bookshop can be the centre of a whole community. Bookshops support authors; organize events. A thriving bookshop teaches the next generation that literacy matters. So don't just love your bookshop: actually buy books there.

Alternative headline: France's Emmanuel Macron tells children to suffer and die from climate change impacts because the mega-industrialists and investors in fossil fuels are more important than saving lives.

POLITICO Europe@politico.eu

France's Emmanuel Macron has asked Ursula von der Leyen to ease EU rules on the composition of fuel and on methane emissions reporting obligations in a bid to keep soaring energy prices under control.

We all help drive climate change. But our so-called leaders are supposed to guide us towards solutions and safety. In most cases, they are failing to. Meaning that faith in politicians is weakeneing, which drives populism, extremism, distraction and climate denial. #UNGA

i’ve just sent a polite but pissed off email to all of my TDs. please do the same i beg. this proposed change is racist, its white supremacy, its xenophobia, its control over human bodies in its purest form.

After a scorching summer, the UK is now bracing for a season of potentially devastating rainfall But homeowners may be stunned to learn that the insurers helping them deal with the fallout of flash floods are fuelling the climate crisis

The warmth over western Siberia extending into the Kara Sea basin has been very persistent this summer, with temperature anomalies easily more than 5°C above the 1981-2010 average. This is one of the fast changing parts of the #Arctic during the boreal summer season. Data from ERA5 reanalysis.

Quite a neat demonstration of how removed from the project of climate action the whole narrative of "demand response" is Cutting a razor-thin slice off data centre demand might help w/ grid but it does next to do nothing for climate. In the case of this very dirty deal, it is making climate *worse*

some people won’t take the climate crisis seriously even if they suffer a heat stroke. bc tell me why are there people still calling these heatwaves “gorgeous weather” and complaining about rain!??? and actively wishing for the heat waves to return? 😭

The public is, largely, still not making the connection between climate change and extreme weather events, especially heavy rainfall. At the same time, “fewer journalists are doing the kind of reporting that could help close this gap.” By @kileyprice.bsky.social ⬇️ buff.ly/VZH84Hb

Six years ago, Ireland was promised a dedicated Wildlife Crime Unit. It never materialised, and no one really explained why. I went looking for answers. It took a year-long battle with the NPWS and an Information Commissioner investigation to get them. Here’s what I found ⬇️ jrnl.ie/7135559
