The Green party membership made a brave choice going into government in 2020; the benefits of that courage are now being felt by communities all over the country.
The testimony at the last Transport Committee was emphatic. From Baile Átha Cliath to Ballysadare #GreensDeliver

Great to see the boys in their new gear. Thanks to @TempleogueDecor again for sponsoring the U13 boys.

Guns are now the biggest cause of death among children in the USA.

If you were the Irish guy on crutches who works in *biochem?* in Stevenage who was on the Peterborough train from Finsbury Park this morning it was lovely to meet you and I should’ve asked for your name and number so I could live out my Christmas miracle romance moment hahahelp

“EPP distributed cartoons showing a salivating wolf, bear & lynx advancing on frightened sheep, shepherdess”

Terrific piece by ⁦@NaomiOhReally⁩ on hypocrisy, cowardice of ⁦@FineGael⁩, ⁦@fiannafailparty⁩ on #biodiversity

Beyond delighted to present a copy of “The Climate Book” by ⁦⁦@GretaThunberg⁩ to Ireland’s President, Michael D. Higgins at Áras an Uachtarain this evening.

Our President has been a fearless champion of strong #climate action on the international stage.

Will schools need an Anti-Science block?

[Daniel Murray @DanielTMurray]

The IFA has been lobbying the government and the NCCA to raise concerns about a new Leaving Cert subject on climate, to ensure it is ‘balanced’, recognises unique properties of methane, and includes the ‘environmental credentials of Irish agriculture’ https://t.co/48dNhdp1Wm

Tonight I’m signalling that we can bring forward our solar power targets by 5 years so that we will have installed 5000MW of capacity by the time this Government finishes its term. #leadersspeech #GPAC22 @greenparty_ie

While reporting from east Jerusalem @France24_ar correspondent Laila Odeh was heckled, & verbally assaulted by Israeli extremists who chanted “death to Arabs” on live TV.
If they’re emboldened to do this live on national tv, imagine what they do off record

[Patrick S. Tomlinson @stealthygeek]

Thread time. Here's the thing about @tesla. It's not a car company. Tesla is a company that has to make cars in order to sell its real product: Emissions Credits.

Let me explain. Back in 2012, the EPA put out new, strident emissions standards for new vehicles fleetwide. 1/

[Patrick S. Tomlinson @stealthygeek]

And they do. In Q1 of last year, Tesla's entire profit came from selling half a billion dollars of carbon credits to other carmakers.

Which hey, good for them, but in reality it means driving and owning a Tesla hasn't actually reduced global emissions at all. 6/

In Ireland it’s that wonderful Late Late Toy Show time of the year again. Donation lines are still open.

[The Familiar Strange @TFSTweets]

Have you heard of @Netflix's new series #AncientApocalypse and the outrage from #ARCHAEOLOGY community?

This week @Manigarm debunks its pseudoscience and #Atlantis conspiracy theories by investigating its origin in Victorian race theories. Check it out⬇️

Twittersphere: proposal for development on southern slopes of Rock of Cashel, 28 bed hotel, planning ref: 2260575. Please object. Hugely problematic archaeo assessment mis-represents my own work here showing that development is on archaeological complex. Deadline next Monday 28th

The new "Native Tree Area Scheme" will be of interest to many farmers

Payments of €2284 per hectare per year (max 1.25 ha) for 10 years

Those planting alongside waterways will receive an additional one-off €1000/ha frontloaded.

Lots of regulations, but no license required

Thank you to everyone who has said nice things about Bedford Falls. It's taken off in a good way. Great that even silly dreamers like me can still feel relevant. 🎶💚🎶
