I feel that it's amazing and wonderful to have rainforests, coral reefs, and other biodiverse ecosystems on Earth, even independent of the valuable "ecosystem services" they provide to humans. They are cosmically precious and sacred, just in themselves.
Spare a thought for poor old @Shell, who with a heavy heart are reluctantly continuing to buy Putin’s oil. They’d much rather burn the planet into an unliveable hellscape with fossil fuels from politically-acceptable countries, but desperate times… #FossilFree
XR & @NHNAireland outside @anbordpleanala today. On Monday An Bord Pleanála are announcing their decision on the Shannon LNG project, which if permitted, would commit Ireland to decades of importing fracked gas, the exact opposite of what we need to be doing in a climate crisis!
Words fail to fully convey scale or horror of the fast-approaching global #climate tragedy.
Billions of people, yes, billions, facing “life-threatening conditions” this century, says new #IPCCreport

What an amazing drawing - look at how important Ireland is for migrating whales! One reason why we need Marine Protected Areas and proper management of other activities across the ocean 🐳
Fancy some delicious artesian water from the aquifers of…Fiji?
It’s packed in a plastic bottle and shipped 16,000km from a water-stressed island to Ireland for your thirst-quenching pleasure
This is late-stage capitalism.
Quick reality check for those heroic Galway councillors who stopped #salthillcycleway: with just 2m of sea level rise, much of coastline will be lost to the sea
That, folks, is what happens when you ignore the #ClimateCrisis

I kind of want the Irish government to buy a fighter jet. Im curious to see how they’ll fuck it up. They’ll accidentally spend 100 million on a scale model. A heron will make a nest in the cockpit. They’ll hire a hotel manager instead of a pilot and it will be crashed into Meath
I just don't get the #climatedenial. We're in a #ClimateCrisis. 1.5C target will not be met. A child born to someone my age is guaranteed to have a dangerous future. We should all be demanding better - but instead we're doing - this??! @RTERadio1#systemchange#TellTheTruth

The taxonomy is not shaping up to be a great legacy @McGuinnessEU. You had an historic opportunity to drive the EU towards the future it says it wants. Instead, unless MEPs save you, you’ll be remembered as the Commissioner fossil fuel lobbyists bested.
