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...

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...

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.
"In a leaked document, the Irish Presidency proposes to EU Member States that the interest of OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta and SpaceX to make profits should take precedence over the fundamental right to data protection" noyb.eu/en/ai-eu-mem...

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

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.
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

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
