"Economists have made-up their own numbers on climate change" based on a "crazy-bad assumption" says Australian economist @ProfSteveKeen And if they are wrong, "we are screwed." A fascinating final chat for our #ArcticAmbitions❄️coverage of the @ArcticCouncil on @CNBCi

Limerick has much to benefit from its new executive mayor, and there’ll be lessons for other cities. This week’s @Independent_ie column on the city’s mayoral contest. All eyes on Limerick mayor election as it becomes a testing ground

There are people on here who want you to believe that the massive and almost instantaneous spike in atmospheric CO₂ over the last 250 years, unique in the entire geological history of the Earth, has nothing to do with human activity. These are not serious people.

We have paradise on Earth and we are losing it, sitting back watching it go, lying to ourselves that it’s someone else’s job to do something. This will not get many Rt’s because the truth is if we want to survive we have to get off the sofa and protest in our 100s of millions.

You can never "prove" anything in the physical sciences. However, there is a preponderance of evidence suggesting that there is a very very strong link between CO₂ and global mean near surface temperature. For just one example of many many:

As other EU countries reduce their emissions, Ireland's are needlessly increasing. Compared to 2021, in the 3rd quarter of 2022, Ireland's emissions rose 17%. By the end of 2022, emissions were twice that of the average EU citizen. https://t.co/7ZKOIfXdcH.

I després, al voltant del mercat i per fora de la façana original, es van fer aquests pilars exteriors en forma d'arbre on descansen els ràfecs de la coberta que protegeixen la façana.
