You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. R. Buckminster Fuller

📢New Publication! "The dark side of artificial greening: Plastic turfs as widespread pollutants of aquatic environments"🌿

We have found that artificial turf fibers account for up to 15% of the meso- and macroplastics in rivers and sea surface waters!

Have you ever wondered how Ireland can have gone from 500 pristine rivers in the 1980s down to only 20?

Here's your explanation: polluters making the rules on pollution.

Good news: Ireland calls for a halt to #DeepSeaMining until more scientific knowledge is collected and strong regulations are in place to ensure the protection of the marine environment.

[Mike Hudema @MikeHudema]

Big Oil raked in record-breaking profits. The companies that caused the climate crisis are getting rich as they fuel the fire.

@ExxonMobil: $55.7 billion
@Shell: $39.87 billion
@Chevron: $35.5 billion
@BP_plc: $27.7 billion

Time to make the pay for the damage they've caused.

[Pádraic Fogarty @whittledaway]

Jackie Cahill (FF) is chair of the Agriculture Committee, here chairing a session on water quality & the Nitrates derogation. He's also a dairy farmer in derogation & opened the session saying it's "hugely important to my own business"
Surely this is a gross conflict of interest?

[Irish Wildlife Trust @Irishwildlife]

Wouldn't it be amazing to have a thriving ocean, full of marine life, that supports low impact fisheries, stable jobs, tourism and local communities?

This is juvenile. The leadership of the EPP in the European Parliament has lost its way

They have allied with the far right and now they are spreading disinformation about the Nature Restoration Law

I'm working to convince their MEPs to vote with their conscience #RestoreNature

[Eamon Ryan @EamonRyan]

We launched #SolarforBusiness on the rooftop of @onthebackpage in Phibsborough. It's a massive expansion of our non-domestic scheme for businesses, community orgs, sports clubs & public buildings.
Grant covers up to 30% of costs with payback in as little as 5 years ☀️

Poignant as fuck 🩰👣😭

From a friend at the Roskilde festival:

“where Denmark’s most famous ballerina got up on stage and performed the dance of the dying swan, while slowly being covered with crude oil

😭 genuinely devastating”

Yellow warning issued for Cork, Kerry, Galway, Mayo for heavy rainfall tomorrow with over 40mm possible in parts of Southwest and West, especially on higher ground but over 10mm for most areas. A very wet and windy spell of weather Thursday.

[Kevin Anderson @KevinClimate]

On a lecture tour of Ireland, Dublin-Ballina-Cork-Dublin. Train from the Peak District, ferry from Holyhead, then ~100mile-days around the Emerald Isle powered by legs & a bike (barring mechanicals/mishaps). Weather looks https://t.co/9L0OARP9YR, but the ‘crack’ should be good.

[IrishEVs @IrishEVs]

Happy, as always, to contribute to this discussion about the benefits of removing VRT & VAT on used electric car imports from the UK

It is really the only feasible way to aid electric car adoption for the majority who cannot afford a new EV

[Grace O'Sullivan @GraceOSllvn]

Good news! The EU Commission today announced the first ever Soil Health Law 🌿

A binding measure to stop soil degradation was a key ask of the Environment Action Programme I negotiated earlier this term. We will now protect soil in the same way we do air and water quality 🌊

Beef emits 31 times more CO₂ per calorie of food than tofu does. By cooking so many cows, we are cooking ourselves, too. Forgoing steaks may be one of the most efficient ways to reduce our carbon footprint https://t.co/zhGAmCAajc

[Irish Wildlife Trust @Irishwildlife]

The leading scientific body on nature conservation, @IUCN, said the EU's global role in protecting the environment will be called into question should the Nature Restoration Law be rejected next week

'Risks of synchronized low yields are underestimated in climate and crop model projections' our new paper in @NatureComms.

We find model biases in #ExtremeHeat linked to large waves in the #Jetstream, a major driver of recent record breaking #HeatWaves.

Nature needs your help today! The European Parliament will vote on an EU law to restore nature, but some MEPs want to block this law. Please send them an email now and ask them to take their responsibility. https://t.co/oTARBtx1w7
