‘Renewables offer humanity an unlikely exit ramp off our current highway to #climate hell – if only our politicians & business leaders had the wit & mettle to grasp this slenderest of lifelines’ My take in Irish Examiner today. www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

Renewables are a lifeline our politicians are too cowardly to grasp
Every month that passes brings us another step closer to tragedy

As Slievenamon burns, it's mad to see how many people leave snarky comments about Roz Purcell on Insta etc. Her family home is on the mountain, she's just asking people to stop blocking access for fire fighters, and to not fly drones as helicopters drop water. Whole new level of begrudgery

Rapid global climate change is here... The mysterious "cold blob" in the North Atlantic is caused by a weakening AMOC ocean current, a new study confirms. Deep-water data proves this cooling isn't an atmospheric fluke, signaling a shift toward a major climate tipping point.

A Dublin village #painting. "Sandymount" A couple of years back on a sharp April day I sat in Sandymount Green and sketched the scene as people around me played, chatted and read books. Took me more hours than my cold fingers liked, but I loved doing it. #Art #SpéirGhorm #ArtYear #UrbanSketching
Landscape format. Ink line and watercolour sketch with white gel pen. View from park across paths and green lawns to tall trees at edge of park and black railings, beyond which is a line of 2-storey buildings of restaurants, pubs, and shops. One is white with green ornate trim including arches over a door and some windows, another is pink at street level with blue and white canopies over 2 doors, and red brick above around its four dark narrow windows. Building on the right has a violet shop front, while on left end past the white and green building the street fades into distance with a clutter of redbrick and busy buildings. Sky is left white like the park paths, interrupted only by the branches and sparse foliage of the tall trees inside the railings in the park.

Know I'm grumbling a lot recently and I am sorry, but it's just impacting so many small artists, and really disheartening to have so much of what you need to make a living increasingly become out of your control due mainly to the whims of a small group of globally powerful megalomaniacal gobshites

It's disgraceful that Helen Ogbu, currently lying third in the polls for the Galway West by-election, hasn't been selected for the RTE live debate which contains six candidates. In fact it's downright sinister and makes RTE look like they're attempting to sway the course of the election. No excuse.
