🌍Today is Ireland's Overshoot Day. If the rest of the world consumed like Ireland since Jan 1st, the Earth would run out of resources on Apr 14th.
Last year, this date was May 17th.
This is not just! The climate crisis is happening NOW, and is impacting families in Ireland & around the world.
You can ignore climate change, but climate change won't ignore you.
More people realising the advantages of electric cars. Though some are still stuck in reverse.
Switch to electric vehicles is accelerating, new figures suggest

It has carfree day (a real one) written all over it
Cool map @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social
10 years since this concert. Fantastic work by @rte.ie youtube.com/watch?v=dGhb...
Looks great. Hope it goes out of date soon.
Time to hurry this up.
A reminder that our fossil fuel dependency is not an accident. This is looking just as stupid as predicted. #fossilfree

Commissioner Séjourné held 84 meetings on #deregulation.
All 84 were with business groups.
Not one civil society org. Not one.
This isn't consultation.
This is what corporate capture looks like.

I look forward to the day no-one cares about the price of oil
I should add: Burgum was specifically applauding Trump’s deal to pay an offshore wind developer $1 billion to abandon its project and invest in oil and gas instead.
Ans the refinery explosion hours later sent gas prices soaring and forced nearby residents to shelter in place.
The latest @wmo-global.bsky.social State of the World Climate report and what it means for Ireland....

Shocking remarks. Could only be made by someone who believes themselves insulated from the effects of the climate emergency and so doesn't see it as an emergency. It puts it up to Merz to repudiate this stance.
So the EU has now swapped one dangerous gas dependency for another. It needs an emergency plan to get off fossil fuels.
Another reminder why every energy choice should be a choice to stop using fossil fuels.
Ireland must prepare ‘evacuation’ plans for coastal areas as climate change intensifies, says expert

This should be a wake up call, especially to speed up the EV switch
Belgian greenhouse gas emissions increased in 2024 – driven by industry in Flanders share.google/J9u8ksCHhUpA...
It's a mistake to call it an industry which gives it an air of doing something useful.
The costs of climate change are starting to mount. 'Conlon is likely to tell the committee that the Government has committed €1.3 billion to flood relief under the National Development Plan up to 2030.'

If there's interference in the Slovenian election what are you the chances of interference in Spanish or Irish elections?
The amount of oil Ireland imports has hardly moved since 2009. Now has to be the time to make a decisive shift and break this oil dependency.
For all the promises of climate finance at COP after COP this is the brutal reality www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Great to see the Dunnes Stores strikers recognised.
NEW ANALYSIS: The Iran conflict is set to hit petrol drivers 5x more than EVs.
