Seriously concerned about climate breakdown and biodiversity loss and the lack of effective action to address these. Born at 316ppm

"If I were emperor of the world, I would put the pedal to the floor on energy efficiency and conservation for the next decade". Dr Steven Chu, Nobel Prize Winner stated in 2007. 13 years later it is largely untouched in Irish climate policy or planning.

@wideawake_media @LMorganEdwards Hmmm. I guess the people who were buried in the mass graves were volunteer actors.

@evelynharte @SadhbhO @IrishTimes @guardian In what way are vegetables “ultra-processed food”?

[Liam McLaughlin @mclauli]

@JZG20714820 @KadrmasDj @MrMatthewTodd Nope. It’s just physics.

[Liam McLaughlin @mclauli]

@elonmusk It’s not

@AlexBlokPi2539 @whittledaway We need to reduce emissions by 50% by 2030, not peak by 2030.

@maxx_keane @SadhbhO @IrishTimes There is plenty evidence for it. You will have no difficulty finding it

[Liam McLaughlin @mclauli]

@Richdublin @whittledaway No single country can affect the climate on its own. It requires all countries to reduce GHG emissions as quickly and justly as possible, especially high emitting, wealthy countries like Ireland.

[Liam McLaughlin @mclauli]

@SPhone568 @NicholasDCarter There is no suggestion that they stop producing food, merely that they produce it more sustainably. They can increase food production and comply with these measures.

@darraghwo @think_or_swim VW strongly advise against charging more than 80% to maximise battery life. This reduces day to day range but for long journeys you can charge to 100%.

[Liam McLaughlin @mclauli]

@darraghwo @think_or_swim How does 2% p.a end up with a battery life of 10 years? The battery will last as long as the car albeit with a reduced range in later years.

[Liam McLaughlin @mclauli]

@ClimateSoluti0n @NicholasDCarter Do you have an example of a specific UN office which is corrupt and in what way it is corrupt?

[Liam McLaughlin @mclauli]

Latest electricity bill €56 including €46 standing charge and including EV charging. Incredible combination of PV and EV. Don’t charge EV from PV, charge at night rate and export PV as much as possible. Better for your pocket and GHG emissions.

@Brenjans @whittledaway We make a bigger difference than any other group of 5 million

@treewomanjones @whittledaway @SocDems @HollyCairnsTD Completely false.

[Liam McLaughlin @mclauli]

@Vin79259726 @whittledaway @SocDems @HollyCairnsTD What did she say that you disagree with?

[Liam McLaughlin @mclauli]

@treewomanjones @whittledaway @SocDems @HollyCairnsTD It triggers gratitude from the 10’s of millions who are alive are a result.

[Liam McLaughlin @mclauli]

Got electricity bill yesterday: 65€ for 2 months. Incredible considering that it includes 2 months of motoring with an EV. Hard to beat energy efficiency and solar PV.

[Liam McLaughlin @mclauli]

@Technop54777070 @think_or_swim There is no reason that urgently reducing emissions will cause deaths.
