@IrishRail @TFIupdates We were advised by Irish Rail staff at Tara Street station that there will be replacement bus service for the Rosslare train route leaving from Connolly station. No sign of busses around Connolly. Any update here?

Soon these trees will be no more. Instead you will be looking at 300 car spaces for @sdublincoco planned €22m overscaled #VanityProject. #shame #capacity

BREAKING - #Rosebank oilfield just given go-ahead - the greatest act of environmental vandalism in my lifetime, causing emissions equal to 28 lowest income countries, busting #climate targets & doing nothing for energy security since vast majority is for export #climatecriminals

Ballykilcavan brewery is just 2.5km from the site of the Electric Picnic (@EPfestival), but we are not allowed to serve our beers there. The festival claims to be sustainable, but despite our three national sustainability awards, we're still not allowed in. Here's why.

If only the #ClimateCrisis & #BiodiversityCrisis received the same amount of attention as the RTE pay crisis...

The RTE pay crisis & Ryan Tubridy feature 3!! times on the @IrishTimes front page this morning.

The climate, planet & biodiversity barely make it to the front page.

[IrishEVs @IrishEVs]

The Irish media response to the Climate Crisis in a nutshell:

🔥 Marine ecologists & scientists warning of unprecedented marine heatwaves

🤐 RTE: nothing

Story not even relegated to the 'climate' sub-page

Rewetting is a misleading word. A few decades ago farmers in Mayo thought rewetting of former BNM bogs would flood their houses. Not one house flooded; in fact: flooding risk was reduced, water quality improved and GHG emissions reduced. Multiple wins for people @RTECountryWide

[Eoghan Daltun 🌍 @IrishRainforest]

Out of 240 nations on Earth, Ireland ranks a catastrophic 13th from the bottom in how nature is doing.

My piece in today's @IrishTimes on why our need for the Nature Restoration Law could not be greater, and any MEPs who vote it down will be betraying us all, including farmers.

Due to hundreds of uncontrolled wildfires across Canada, New York City looks like a post-apocalyptic hellscape.

If you want a prelude of what the world is going to look like if we do not address man-made climate change — this is it.

⅔ of birds are red/amber listed, ⅓ of bees headed for extinction, ½ of waterways in poor status, general insectagedon... but a modest proposal to do something (anything) is going "too far" for some.

We must #RestoreNature !

3 acres burnt, any unlucky skylark nests, bumble bees & orchids gone too.

“it is too late to save Arctic summer sea ice.. we’ve been warning about the loss of Arctic summer sea ice for decades.. the first big component of the Earth system we are going to lose because of global warming. People didn’t listen to our warnings”

We're supposed to be cutting emissions by 4.8% per year.

Instead, Ireland’s greenhouse gas emissions shot up by more than 12pc in the final months of last year – the complete opposite to most other EU countries.

Yesterday, the @UNFCCC announced that the current emissions pledges will lead to catastrophic climate breakdown.

However, there’s no mention of this on the @rtenews front page…

[Jamie Henn @jamieclimate]

The media keeps saying “energy prices are going up” when really it’s just “fossil fuel” prices. Renewables are getting cheaper every day.

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

Just in case you needed a reminder of all the LIFE we can fit into cities when we rethink streets for cars. Space for green and nature DOESN’T compete with density of people or buildings. It competes with density of CARS. Image via @wattdesigns @LondonNPC

Day 1 of @DublinVegfest 👏👏 catch me on stage again tomorrow at 12:00 talking on behalf of @IrishDocsEnv where I’ll be discussing the connections between ocean health and human health 🐬🐚 #ClimateAction #ClimateEmergency #OceanConservation

[Irish Doctors for the Environment @IrishDocsEnv]

Our very own @roisfitzgerald talking about sustainable healthy diets at @DublinVegfest !

[Hannah Daly @HannahEDaly]

I continue to be alarmed by calls for more fossil fuels as the answer to a fossil fuel crisis. If governments had taken energy efficiency & renewables seriously in the past, households would not be facing these energy bills. The way out of this is not more fossil fuels.

[Hannah Ritchie @_HannahRitchie]

When it comes to the carbon footprint of our diet, we focus on things like transport and packaging (the brown bit).

But most of the emissions come from land use and activities on the farm (green bit).

This is why *what* you eat matters much more.
