Yesterday, temporarily, planet Earth took its first step over the 2.0 degrees Celsius barrier.

Dublin City Council management proposed hiring around 100 new staff to do street cleaning in the city.

All it took was for councillors to stop voting to cut the Local Property Tax this year.

And in the last few minutes, a majority voted to cut it. No new cleaning staff, so.🤦‍♂️

Evening all, I’m in Strasbourg for European Parliament debates and votes this week. I traveled from Dublin by buses, trains and ferry. If you’re curious about ‘low-carbon’ travel you might like this thread 🧵

.@CressidaCowell My 9-year-old had to do a school project on someone he admires and he choose you. I'm sure it happens alot, but if i were you I'd never get tired of hearing about it! Thanks for being so inspirational, especially for kids who love reading.

Ireland’s first Dutch-style roundabout opened in Dublin 15!

“The cycle-friendly roundabout ... is a first for Fingal, and for Ireland. This innovative layout separates cyclists, pedestrians and vehicles providing a dedicated space for Active Travel...”

@weareDublinTown Delighted to be involved in such an inspiring event with a really diverse and insightful line up of speakers. Well done to @weareDublinTown for organising. Great to see so many Dublin businesses leading the call for positive change and climate action. @SEAI_ie

[SEAI @SEAI_ie]

The latest #IPCC report released this week is a final warning to us all on climate action. This thread shows just a few reactions to the report across SEAI staff members which we hope will inspire you to act now, before it’s too late. (1/16)

Why is the stand behind the goal jam packed with fans and yet the rest of the seats in the stadium are half empty? Unused corporate tickets? #USAvWAL #WeirdWorldCup

[Dearbhla Stapleton @dervstapleton]

Fantastic achievement from both!

Matt williams is delusional suggesting that Nic White coming back wont be the biggest talking point from this game. According to the rules, he should never have been allowed to even do a HIA in that state, so it doesnt matter if the medics passed him or not. #IREvAUS

Shots fired…CRU immediately calls out Mark Foley’s claim that increase in demand from data centres is not a central part of the current energy problem. Aoife McEvilly says she doesn’t think Eirgrid has accurately forecasted demand from data centres or flagged problem enough.

“It is reported that one third of #Pakistan is now under water”

No, not science fiction, but a line from the evening news bulletin just now.

The state will have no option but to reduce electricity demand or face blackouts this winter, as planned emergency power generators will not be in place in time, the Business Post can reveal. https://t.co/iv2PplVZZA
