Do you like watching streams and gaming content?
Do you want Twitch to end its partnership with Chevron - a company that has committed vast climate and biodiversity crimes?

While its great that the smoky coal ban is being discussed...
...we cannot keep ignoring the fact that 87% of all new cars sold this year are wholly reliant on fossil fuels - the majority diesel - and the impact this has on the 1,400 deaths from air pollution in Ireland annually
Why is @DarraghOBrienTD proposing amendments to the #PlanningBill today that makes LNG "strategic infrastructure" when @EamonRyan told the Oireachtas last week LNG "is not a strategic priority"?
@foeireland is calling on the Gov to withdraw the amendments:

Ireland's chief disinformation journalist at it again
Briscoe ignores the reality of the Climate Emergency and writes 'what if' articles that promote greenwashing at every turn
Be in no doubt: eFuels are greenwashing

California accuses ExxonMobil of lying about plastics being recyclable
The state alleges the oil company deceived “the public to convince us that plastic recycling could solve the plastic waste and pollution crisis.”

A story of how PR is used to block legitimate public enquiry in three parts
This is how companies get away with greenwashing & unethical behaviour - by ignoring reality and refusing to comment
And the RSA is choosing to double down on its ableist, tone-deaf campaign
Very disappointing to see @GeorgeLeeRTE reporting greenwashing as a breakthrough
This isn't a "sustainable fuel", it requires more plastic to be made to meet demand
This is anything but sustainable & requires huge energy to do so
This locks in current failures
#ClimateCrisis
Here we go again
Automotive writers might be the least ethical journalists on the planet
They ignore the Climate Emergency and overwhelming volumes of evidence at every turn while fetishising fossil fuels
#ClimateCrisis#ClimateEmergency
Only one mention of the word 'climate' in the whole piece
This is the second time the IT has written about the direct outcomes of the Climate Emergency without making an effort to link those outcomes with the Climate Crisis - just 'weather'

"One of the hardest Le Mans races to drive"
Ant Davidson on commentary, as the 24 hour race has been repeatedly lashed with rain...
..And why so much extreme weather?
THE CLIMATE EMERGENCY
Yet Le Mans is endlessly promoting fossil fuel

My first byline article in an Irish newspaper
Ireland is way off course with its emissions reduction targets
EVs have a role to play in helping us reach those targets quickly & improving public health in the process

Apathy might be the most dangerous facet of our era
Apathy is perpetuating:
🔥The Climate Emergency
🇵🇸 The genocide in Gaza
👊The rise in far-right hate & violence
↕️ Anti-refugee sentiment
We must move from apathy to empathy, and action:

I LOVE Eurovision
I can't remember the last time I missed it. But I'll be joining this year's boycott
Acting ethically on genocide is far more important than a competition - especially one that is artwashing genocide & which has banned Palestinian flags
