The Govt actually supports the President's participation, something only admitted late into this weird recitation of anonymous grumbles.
Another absolute chef's kiss for this Martyn Turner cartoon in today's @irishtimes.com
Which one of these two choices is president of the United States?

Line graph time series of 2026's daily Arctic sea ice extent compared to decadal averages from the 1980s to the 2010s. The decadal averages are shown with different colored lines with purple for the 1980s, blue for the 1990s, green for the 2000s, and white for the 2010s. Thin white lines are also shown for each year from 2000 to 2025. 2026 is shown with a thick gold line. There is a long-term decreasing trend in ice extent for every day of the year shown on this graph between February and April by looking at the decadal average line positions.
Monday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the 2nd lowest on record (JAXA data)
• about 510,000 km² below the 2010s mean

• about 1,460,000 km² below the 1990s mean
• about 1,840,000 km² below the 1980s mean

Hi Zack - havewe hit the maximum yet?
Oh, very nice. I try to remember that one!
Someone reminded me recently of this quote from the show Chernobyl: "Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later that debt is paid."

Truth is now the planet’s most important currency. Maybe it always was, but not awarded sufficient value.
I've just signed the open letter, calling on Jim O'Callaghan to stand up for a fair immigration process that keeps people safe and keeps our families and communities whole. Will you add your name? action.uplift.ie/campaigns/in...

In my @irishtimes.com op-ed today I argue that our climate law is the best framework we have for making energy secure and affordable, because it tackles the root cause of our vulnerability to energy shocks - our dependence on fossil fuels.

ICYMI: Hey fashion brands ‼️ Ready for the energy transition, but don’t know where to start?
We made it easy. #GreenSky
The fishing of krill is putting marine wildlife at risk.❗
To protect this fragile ecosystem, the fishery needs to be paused until stronger management and safeguards are in place.

Today, I spoke on War & Politics 24 about the narratives Russian propaganda uses to impose the idea that Europe has failed, grown weak, and that Putin is winning. We discussed how to counter this and develop our own narrative. Listen via the link — www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dJi...
I just signed an open letter joining the urgent call for peace, justice and a healthy future. We need to turn the volume up on a better moral compass set of morals which leaders everywhere must be judged by. Will you also add your voice to this important call? act.gp/4bGVSAm
Trump thinks he can take over Greenland and no one will care. Let’s prove him wrong. secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/...
"If we focus on Greenland, I have to say that a U.S. invasion of that territory would make Vladimir Putin the happiest man in the world. Why? Because it would legitimize his attempted invasion of Ukraine," he said in an interview in La Vanguardia newspaper

I very genuinely think answering this question is obscenely important. Even if it's something as boring as 'Musk can threaten consequences, particularly through Trump / US, if they shut it down'.
But not a single soul is being forced in any way to keep using it as a comms platform: no one.

As extreme weather hits Europe, costs are rising. Banks should help mitigate climate risks but @shareaction.bsky.social’s new analysis shows:
⚠️Progress has slowed. Some big banks are even backtracking
🌍Average bank scores: Climate 52%, Biodiversity 22%, Indigenous rights 7%
🔗 tinyurl.com/mvyummp3
Our new analysis of Europe’s largest banks has found progress on climate has ground to a standstill, and in some cases, reversed
As environmental and social risks rise, banks’ responses are still falling short: the average score across the 25 banks was 41%🔽
