How about this for an alternate headline, @rtenews ?

“Plans to enhance public transport, reduce congestion, pollution & noise in Dublin City to go ahead next month”

@IrishDocsEnv Has no one in Galway understood the concept of induced demand? Anything you do to make things easier for car journeys will very quickly increase car journeys and they’ll be back where they started in months. The only solution is to get cars off the road.

@FuckCarsReddit Which shows how urban sprawl, incentivised by government policies, is an injustice, disproportionately impacting low income households..

#Ireland to a tee! And with a bloated car fleet it gets worse.

Stop whatever you’re doing and take a few minutes to listen to this breathtaking speech by @laurensunfl0wer telling oil chiefs that, since they have no humanity to appeal to, we will instead fight to stop them destroying our living planet for profit.

@Kennorth14 @GerHerbert1 @Independent_ie @ReviewIndo What vested interest does Eamon have? Does he own a bicycle shop or something?

@Karenandproud7 @GardaTraffic What does the nationality of the assailant have to do with this?

Forget Black Friday. Embrace Circular Monday

[Ecosocialism Conference @Ecosocial_conf]

The COP process has suffered 'institutional capture' by polluters and oil giants. The oil executive running it is promoting carbon capture tech which will require 340 years to capture all the carbon his company alone will put into the atmosphere between now and 2030

I’ve just watched this on catch-up. I found it eloquent, compelling and very moving. If you haven’t seen it - and whatever preconceptions you bring with you - it is worth watching.

So you think peaceful protestors begging for action on #ClimateEmergency are annoying? Wait till what hit Zaragoza in northern Spain today, arrives on our doorstep

And yesterday, “Code Red” summer storm killed 2 in Amsterdam, shut down airport, trains

Never forget, electric cars are here to save the car industry, not the planet.

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

If we're going to limit climate change, then lots more of the economy is going to have to be under public ownership - including transport and energy. An economic model based on the endless pursuit of profit got us into this mess. It won't get us out of it.

@GaryLineker The Sustainable Development Goals were set up in 2015 at the UN and is intended to be achieved by 2030. Now that it is clear that there is a significant relationship between globalisation, poverty and income inequality. Who is still waiting for 2030? https://t.co/W73tFVTIin

“We’ve talked about climate change as a threat looming in our future. But the past six years are the six hottest years on record. The future is here now,” says the editorial board. “What’s left? A chance to avoid an even more terrible future.” https://t.co/OmiWDtDOiV
