I wonder how long one has to wait for support for autistic people traveling through @DublinAirport

[timi.nicholson @timi_nicholson]

@AdamPHarris Thanks, I will

[timi.nicholson @timi_nicholson]

@AdamPHarris do you know of any provisions for autistic people who arrive to Ireland as refugees. A 5 yo Ukrainian autistic boy, who is highly distressed due to the new environment and the change in routine & food, is in a hotel with his family. I'm trying to help them find 🏠

Perverse subsidy schemes incentivise farmers to eliminate pockets of biodiversity & penalise those who leave space for wildlife, while paying for… bird boxes

Until this is reversed, the wreckage will continue

@CovidAlarmClock This is so, so upsetting. We've pleaded with the Dept of Agriculture in the past about this. We'll do it again: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

Would you like to know a bit more about #climatechange? The @CovidAlarmClock uses our experience of Covid to comprehend the huge + abstract subject of climate change. It's light hearted + digestible with plenty of laughs Every episode ends with a suggestion for a #ClimateAction

[Diarmuid Torney @diarmuidtorney]

It's (at least) the second excellent response to MHR's video by our students this week. @DCUClimate graduate & one half of @CovidAlarmClock @darrwynne mercilessly dissected the video's misinformation in this brilliant thread

Watch this fantastic video made by some of our MSc in Climate Change class about the #ClimateBill. It's a great response to a video posted by Michael Healy-Rae earlier this week.

I'm so proud of our brilliant @DCUClimate students! @DaireKeogh @HumanitiesDCU @LawGovDCU @DCU_SoC

@KennyCaitriona @D7CycleBus Brilliant! I wonder if the story of setting it up and how it works on a daily basis would make a great piece in the media @codohertynews @clareslair

[John Gibbons 🇵🇸 @think_or_swim]

What’s the easiest way to identify a #climate denier?

They are the ones who feel the need to use the phrase “I am *not* a climate denier”. See below for details

If Lidl can do it so can the Government!
Enough talking about it!
Fair play to @HomelessPeriodD for their relentless work in ending period poverty.

[timi.nicholson @timi_nicholson]

@LNBDublin @cullen_ellen @HomelessPeriodD Yes, I totally agree with @LNBDublin . These are two issues. People who can afford disposable products could change to reusable (considering personal circumstances). Then the waste created by those who really need disposable products wouldnt be significant

[timi.nicholson @timi_nicholson]

Some great mythbusting here!!

[Darragh Wynne @darrwynne]

So, there are some claims in here that need a bit of debunking.

“COVID-19 is not a random event. It is a symptom of an economic system that is destroying the natural world.”

Working on my last assignment for @DCUClimate
Reading about the psychology behind climate inaction.
It is really mind boggling why we delay action when the science is so clear on the devastating impacts.

What would Freud say? 🤔

If you have 3 & 1/2 minutes this morning, sit down with a nice cup of tea/coffee and watch this.
It's a re-imagining of the speech Leo Varadkar made this time last year, the day our lives changed.
But it's not about the #COVIDcrisis it's about the #ClimateCrisis

[Diarmuid Torney @diarmuidtorney]

This is well worth a watch

Leo Varadkar's speech to the nation on #covid a year ago reimagined to focus on the #climatecrisis, by our @DCUClimate students @hegarty_ellen & @darrwynne

Check out their new podcast @CovidAlarmClock, which launched last week

[🌍Lorna Gold 🌏 @gold_lgold]

What if #COVID was #climate? This clever rework of @LeoVaradkar speech helps us see the connections one year on from lockdown. @billmckibben @NaomiAKlein @GretaThunberg
