Globally around 75% of new demand has been met by clean energy since 2005, with 99% being met by solar and wind in 2025. The globe may be on the brink of absolute emissions reductions in the power sector, with clean energy growing faster than demand.

This iconic photo of Bertie Ahern in the Tolka flood waters in 2002, was taken by Colin Keegan, who died in traffic collision last Saturday. Colin was kind enough to let us use the photo for free in the first postcard campaign I ran in @foeireland.bsky.social in 2005. May he rest in peace.

Pleeeeeeeaaaaaaase tell me that all those "you should need a government ID to access the internet" people are rethinking this position now. [We know they aren't. Ed.]

The first two paragraphs of the linked-to story:

"Denmark has suffered a major data breach that has given unauthorised individuals access to names, addresses and personal identification numbers belonging to about 8.8 million people registered in the country’s central population database.

"The breach occurred after unidentified individuals misused a private Danish company’s legitimate access to search the Central Person Register (CPR), the government said in a statement Monday."

Let's see that breach-response process kick-in that they built into the system as part of their Data Protection by Design and by Default practices. [We know they don't have one. Ed.]

Another portion from the article:

"The CPR system is a cornerstone of Denmark’s highly digitised public sector. Every resident is assigned a unique 10-digit CPR number that is widely used to identify individuals when dealing with government agencies, banks and healthcare providers. While Denmark has a population of about six million, the register contains records on roughly 11 million people, including those who have died or moved abroad."

🚨 Half of all new cars registered in Ireland in September were fully electric (49.3%)! Car sales here are concentrated in January and July, so a single month is misleading, but I pulled out the BEV sales share for July-September sales for the past years: 2024 - 14% 2025 - 22% 2025 - 35% 📈↗️👆‼️

I don't think I could survive this. I'd have to change my name. Flee the country.

Irish times headline which reads:
Dear Éanna, have I spotted a penguin in Portmarnock?

There is an accompanying picker of a back and white bird standing in the part of a sandy beach where the water is washing over it

The question sent in: I spotted this bird on Portmarnock shores in mid-September. By any chance is this a South African penguin?

The reply:
Ah now. Penguins are flightless birds that only live in the southern hemisphere. They are indeed excellent swimmers, but there is no way that a penguin could swim more than 20,000km, cross the equator and turn up on a beach in Portmarnock

A collection of frogs for you in these trying times.

Five digital drawings of "frogs". One is inspired by an Ouroboros, another seems to have a carved turnip for a head, one is a somewhat scrungly witch, another wears a flowery shirt while drinking from a coconut, and finally one of them is "Bimble". Bimble looks like if a rock tried very hard to be a frog and almost succeeded.

Irish solar farm growth, 2019 through September 2026. All growth in recent years is in the ROI. The fleet expanded a lot this year, and has headed west: the island's second largest solar farm is now in County Galway. The newest? Monvallet in County Louth which powered up during September. 📊 ☀️ ☘️

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

Given that Irish government TDs have cited Sweden's decision to introduce a language test for citizenship as justification for Ireland introducing one, it seems relevant that Sweden is finding it difficult to actually do it

One Irish person was refused citizenship recently over the language test after a six-year process despite doing the whole thing in Swedish. The same person teaches at university level in Swedish, and has published academic texts in the language.

Good illustration of how the (relatively successful) far right movements are operating and pursuing their agendas by disguising their racism and hate as the "legitimate concerns" that conservatives love to be fooled by. It's not just migration where they're doing this
