A valuable flute went missing yesterday from the owner's bike on the way to a lunchtime session in Cassidy's in Camden St. It has huge sentimental value and a reward has been offered. If anyone sees it, please send a DM. RTs appreciated.

If your 🇮🇪 road fatalities looked like this, you would expect some real & meaningful road safety interventions from @RSAIreland @GardaTraffic legislators etc. But simply NOTHING except more faff around default speed zones 🤷 Are Irish lives nothing more than collateral damage?

The most important thing about this amazing Paris transformation is how fast it happened —how fast people on bikes “appeared” —once streets were transformed. You can’t write this off as “#Paris was always this way,” because it wasn’t. It took leadership. https://t.co/DJHxcn13Zr

This amazing spectacle has taken place in County Kerry continuously for over 5,000 years and Killarney National Park is acknowledged as one of the best locations in Europe to observe the red deer rut Tickets 🦌here ⬇️

This is the world’s first steel made without burning fossil fuels. Steel is a massive emitter so this is hugely important! We have so many solutions to solve the #climatecrisis. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

“what on earth is the point of the EPA licensing regime” it must be disheartening as an EPA inspector to file repeated non compliance reports, yet EPA do not revoke licences ever. no matter how non compliant the plant is

Public records about North Cork Creameries’ operations paint a disquieting picture of how regulators are performing

It's pretty easily explained. The media is owned by the same persons responsible for causing this mess. So they hide it from the plebs.
It beggars belief that our useless media is ignoring graphs such as this from the University of Reading and behaving like everything is OK.

BOTH ARCTC (AMOC) and ANTARCTIC (SOOC) OVERTURNING CIRCULATIONS SLOWING The Antarctic over turning circulation just as important as AMOC The Great Ocean Conveyer is the issue that must be assessed - not just AMOC. Further rapid slowing of both is certain. PLANET EMERGENCY!!

Future climate models need to take account of AMOC collapse urgently to inform building performance models. This paper confirms previous concerns that North Western Europe buildings may need to respond to conditions presently experienced in Newfoundland within just 10 years.
I was shocked when I first saw these results from standard climate models used in IPCC reports: for high emissions, the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC shuts down in all 9 models that ran past 2100, and is well on the way to shutdown by 2100. Our paper is out today. 🧵

The worlds oldest mountain weather monitoring station is in Germany at Hohenpeissenberg. It's records go back to the mid 1700s and an almost continuous record since the late 1700s. p.s. Yes, human induced climate change is real.

Maybe building a country around endless car dependent cul-de-sacs where you cannot hang with friends without your parents driving you everywhere would affect how young people socialize…

Yes, €8 billion is indeed a lot of money, but so is the €20 billion bill we could be facing from 2023 for not meeting our climate targets this decade. Makes sense to support the required investment now. #ClimateAction

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via @thediscourse study. This isn’t just about choice. It’s about who pays for your choice. #citymakingmath

After a deer population increase in the last few years, the government appointed a strategy group in 2022. And just this week it awarded a management contract to a co-op to set up 15 local deer...
