DEAL on EU law to #RestoreNature - but a mixed bag:
🕳️Lots of loopholes
🧑🌾Agri landscapes & peatlands included
🆘Emergency break could stop restoration in agri ecosystems
Now, @Europarl_EN and Council must approve the law to make it reality!

Worrisome journalism by RTE.
According to Kenny Jacobs, DAA CEO, less flights from Dublin Airport could hinder sustainability ambitions ?!?!
Statements like these can't go unchallenged RTE.
#ClimateCrisis
Climate change is the single biggest health threat facing humanity.
We need to step up and start acting like we are in a crisis.
We call on the Irish government to declare the #ClimateCrisis and #BiodiversityCrisis a public health emergency!
We are delighted the NRL was not rejected and the hard work of some MEPs, eNGOs and EU Citizens has paid off.
However, parts of the law have been weakened and go against scientific advice.
Next stage is negotiations to get the law as strong as possible

Today in the Énvi committee for EPP we had 8 non full Énvi members out of 22. 6 out of 8 members were replaced by agri members. 1/3 of the total EPP voting members came from the CDU when this delegation awaits for 1/5 of the EPP group. I call it manipulation by Manfred Weber
Some years ago, Prof James Hansen warned that as #climate change worsened, it would reach a point where “all hell would break loose in the North Atlantic”
With below vast energy transfer into atmosphere, that point may be fast approaching

Hey @EPPGroup!
When you say “fake news”, are you referring to your own tweets?
Maybe it’s best you start fact-checking your messages to stop playing such a huge role behind the fake news statistics 🤔
We even prepared a FAQ on #RestoreNature for you: https://t.co/U8ijUOjMY1
