[Oisín Coghlan @OisinCoghlan]

I was asked by @thejournal_ie was the near wipeout of the Greens in #GE24 a vote against #ClimateAction and what were the prospects for action under an FF / FG led government.

My take: "Climate change hasn't gone away you know"

@AoifeMFoley There's definitely a bit of that in it. But then, its also about self-preservation and good mental health, as well as not wanting to support Musk's platform.
Plus its a lot easier to find & read academic research on Blueksky

@AoifeMFoley We'd definitely recommend Bluesky. Just as easy to use as Twitter, more diversity and a more lovely place to be

[Sadhbh O' Neill 🍉🌹 @SadhbhO]

It looks like a FF/FG government propped up with a few independents. That will spell the end of ambitious climate policy in Ireland. #GE24

[IrishEVs @IrishEVs]

@SadhbhO @labour You should be proud of running a great campaign and standing up for your principles. Grateful that you stood

[Sadhbh O' Neill 🍉🌹 @SadhbhO]

That's me out! What a privilege to have stood for @labour in #GeneralElection24 #GE2024. This is just the beginning. I'm going to do all in my power to hold what looks like a climate-disaster government to account.

[Irish Doctors for the Environment @IrishDocsEnv]

This cannot be an election like any other.

Voting for climate action is voting for health, wellbeing, and our planet.

Make it count ✅ #GE2024 #ClimateAction

[John Gibbons 🇵🇸 @think_or_swim]

The global health emergency due to #climate change & nature loss meant health gains over past centuries were threatened. “This is going to undo 500 years of progress”.

[John Gibbons 🇵🇸 @think_or_swim]

Awkward: who’s going to tell Barry that his party is 100% committed to *worse* national water quality via its unconditional support of nitrates derogation?

[Tom Spencer @TPSpencer88]

The irony of this image

Fianna Fáil - the party in the advert - have utterly failed to act on the Climate Emergency and are now risking €8bn in annual fines for taxpayers until we're compliant with our GHG emission cuts

Decades of inaction

The Climate Emergency makes extreme weather events more frequent and severe

[Damian Carrington @dpcarrington]

Activists gathered in #COP29 halls on Saturday, holding signs saying “pay up or shut up and “trillions not billions”

- They called on developing countries to “hold the line” if they do not win a deal that represents their interests

F1’s greenwashing shows how sport is shirking climate responsibilities

F1 is eager to greenwash and shirk its responsibilities in the face of the Climate Crisis - lying to its fans while profiting from increasing greenhouse gas emissions

[The Journal Investigates @TJ_Investigates]

Europe’s oldest marine reserve, located in County Cork, is in decline. What’s going on?

@O_Heffernan took a deep dive into this issue over the past year. She found multiple pressures and lack of management are wreaking havoc.

No more paper parks! Our waters need proper protection...

So it wasn't a dinner between friends and it wasn't a dinner to discuss work? So the Minister & O'Leary just had a random dinner to discuss general topics. OK....
