Excellent overview of what's coming for Ireland - including a nice shout out to @conor_mcnally for his video on why climate change should be a key election issue in #GE24.
No easy way to chart this. How Ireland's future climate is shaping up. The indicators from research coinciding with #COP29 and threat of AMOC collapse that should be raised when politicians land on your doorstep @MetEireann @climpeter

Excellent video from @conor_mcnally - the climate is on the ballot in #GE24.
Where is climate change in the #GE24 campaign?. Decisive action is needed to cut emissions right across the Irish economy and improve resilience to extreme weather. The lifetime of the next government will be critical. Here's why this election matters for climate 👇 #GE2024🇮🇪
