Here's the @PatKennyNT clip re Churchtown. I stand over my personal view that while I don't condone the action it is nonetheless refreshing & demands a serious public debate about getting SUVs out of towns & cities. Regulate the cars, regulate the ads.

War and the threat to Europe's gas supplies should accelerate our shift to clean, renewable energy. We have no time to waste. The #ClimateCrisis won't wait. I'm standing in the #tcdseanad bye-election as an effective advocate with 30 years of experience. Vote #1 Sadhbh4Seanad!

As long as we treat rivers, air and land as the dumping ground for their pollution, our environment will continue to deteriorate. Do people care enough to stand up against this destruction and loss?

Firstly the speech smacks of "my deaths are more important than yours". Crass. All deaths whether due to air poll or fuel poverty are a failure to protect our citizens. Using deaths from one cause (whatever the #) to argue against action to prevent other deaths is disgraceful.

“From a cyclist’s point of view, I’ve never seen such level of aggression towards us... If a rabbit or cat jumped out, you’d stop, but it seems some people are willing to go through cyclists. It’s like we’re not human.." Chilling words. @RSAIreland

It's pretty windy out there, which means @EirGrid might see up to 4,000 MW of renewables on the grid today, breaking all previous records. Amid all the bleak reports of fossil fuel industry lobbying at #COP28 this is great news. Let's have more of it.

Thanks to all in @cyclistie for challenging current approaches to road safety based on 'motornormativity'. We must now rethink everything about road safety to save lives, reduce pollution & make our towns & cities healthy & liveable. #TRA2024

While coverage is welcome I'm not sure that 'signalling weather changes' quite captures the catastrophic potential of AMOC failure. Something is really amiss in RTE's editorial position here RTE news : Atlantic currents weaken, signalling weather changes

Bike crunched, cyclist thrown off, but uninjured. He had just been waiting at lights. I witnessed the incident so approached and took pic of reg as cyclist was in shock. Driver came out to apologise to *ME* while cyclist in a heap on path. I said go check on cyclist.

In my @IrishTimes column this month I return to the challenge of developing renewables at scale to end our reliance on fossil fuels - what are the barriers to deploying wind and solar power in Ireland? Turns out one of these is local politics. 1/n
