France 🇫🇷 doubles electrification support to €10bn/year through 2030 — EVs, heat pumps, industry.
The reason?

The Strait of Hormuz crisis making fossil fuel dependence impossible to ignore.

Geopolitical shocks don’t just raise prices. They change what’s politically possible.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

French Prime Minister announced a ban on installing gas heating systems "by year's end" in new buildings, including multi-unit housing, to curb dependence on fossil fuels.
Biz will get aid for electric vans and trucks, up to €100,000 – including cargo bikes.

This is the massive turnout for last night’s “anti regime” concert in Heroes Square, Budapest, ahead of tomorrow’s crucial Hungarian elections. Tens of thousands chanted “Russians go home”. #Orban

Fair point. For sure the real story is what is behind the rise. Not just who and why, but how. The tactics involved in radicalising huge swathes of people is really what needs to be exposed. Ordinary people are being influenced and divided by carefully curated algorithms. Like lambs to slaughter.

The rise of the far right is a real political issue. Whatever money is behind Steen is dangerous, we've watched it in US and UK it was all an insignificant joke back in 2016, and now where are we. Its not the clowns like Trump and Farage to watch out for its the money behind them.

Would love to see @kneecapceol.bsky.social supporting @catherinegalway.bsky.social they seem like a good fit.

We're hopping on the attention #metgala2025 has been getting to draw your attention to our Climate Question episodes which discuss the not-so-glamorous truths of climate change.

Veronika Cohen, 80, Holocaust survivor: “I don’t think we can remember our suffering without acknowledging the suffering of Gaza, the deaths of tens of thousands of children, the starvation that’s going on this minute, for which we are partially responsible. It occupies the same place in my heart.”

More flights, more emissions.

My letter to the editor in today’s Irish Times.

The media continues to offer free PR to high-emission industries such as aviation. This has to stop if we are to get serious about climate action.

“Never have we so hurt and mistreated our common home as we have in the last two hundred years. Reducing greenhouse gases requires honesty, courage and responsibility. Those who will have to suffer the consequences will not forget this failure of conscience and responsibility.” — Pope Francis

A refresher.

"Even my constituents suffer from climate change"
No shit sherlock.

I keep forgetting the new ministerial roles. Introduced "we'll go to our Climate and Enviroment minister......Darragh OBrien" Actually made me shudder.

I know complaining about Katy Perry in “space” is low hanging fruit and there are much worse things happening in the world, but there’s just something so peak… shallow and smarmy… bread and circuses… about it that typifies everything wrong with a system that serves only the shallow and the rich

Watched last night and tonight, and I'm thinking the personalities have been very carefully and well chosen.

Right. Climate realism would be the realization that the cavalry isn't coming to save anyone's comfy, wasteful lifestyle. Techno Fairy Dust & Magic Beans aren't going to rescue modernity. Learn to live with less now because there will be no choice later.
