Why is @news.rte.ie describing this as a "natural disaster", when all the experts say it was largely due to human-caused climate collapse? This sort of messaging is a big part of the problem. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Today the Government will have an emergency Dáil sitting over fuel excise duty. Later today the latest homelessness figures will be announced. A new record, no doubt, with over 7k children in emergency accommodation. But there’ll be no emergency sitting for them.
