I was asked by @thejournal_ie was the near wipeout of the Greens in #GE24 a vote against #ClimateAction and what were the prospects for action under an FF / FG led government.
My take: "Climate change hasn't gone away you know"

It looks like a FF/FG government propped up with a few independents. That will spell the end of ambitious climate policy in Ireland. #GE24

That's me out! What a privilege to have stood for @labour in #GeneralElection24 #GE2024. This is just the beginning. I'm going to do all in my power to hold what looks like a climate-disaster government to account.

This cannot be an election like any other.
Voting for climate action is voting for health, wellbeing, and our planet.
Make it count ✅ #GE2024 #ClimateAction

The global health emergency due to #climate change & nature loss meant health gains over past centuries were threatened. “This is going to undo 500 years of progress”.

Awkward: who’s going to tell Barry that his party is 100% committed to *worse* national water quality via its unconditional support of nitrates derogation?

The irony of this image
Fianna Fáil - the party in the advert - have utterly failed to act on the Climate Emergency and are now risking €8bn in annual fines for taxpayers until we're compliant with our GHG emission cuts
Decades of inaction

Activists gathered in #COP29 halls on Saturday, holding signs saying “pay up or shut up and “trillions not billions”
- They called on developing countries to “hold the line” if they do not win a deal that represents their interests

F1’s greenwashing shows how sport is shirking climate responsibilities
F1 is eager to greenwash and shirk its responsibilities in the face of the Climate Crisis - lying to its fans while profiting from increasing greenhouse gas emissions

Europe’s oldest marine reserve, located in County Cork, is in decline. What’s going on?
@O_Heffernan took a deep dive into this issue over the past year. She found multiple pressures and lack of management are wreaking havoc.

So it wasn't a dinner between friends and it wasn't a dinner to discuss work? So the Minister & O'Leary just had a random dinner to discuss general topics. OK....

☃️ Let's use the next snowfall in Ireland to reimagine our streets!
Each and every fresh snow reveals how much we’ve over-designed our streets and roads for cars, making them faster and more dangerous, and how much space we could reclaim for people and public life.
We call them #sneckdowns. GIF via @otucis #sneckdown

Plankton probably won't be able to cope with the ocean heating expected in the next 70 years leading to the collapse of marine life that are dependent on them as a food source.

Urgent action on climate change is critical to safeguard the health and future of our planet and its inhabitants. The PSI today published a position statement, prepared by @SIG_ACEE, outlining the Society's stance on the climate emergency.
