I am a climate scientist and this is correct. As the planet warms, storms like the one today are getting stronger… and as the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the mid latitudes, it increases the risk of the “freezer door” swinging open. Technical explanation here: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Three historic landfills in Cork have been waiting over 10 years for certification from the EPA, despite evidence that two of them are leaking into nearby waterbodies and causing pollution. Others have not even been submitted by local authorities. www.thejournal.ie/investigates...

Europeans want #MPAs to be protected from destructive fishing like #BottomTrawling. The @ec.europa.eu must listen to citizens & ensure the upcoming Ocean Act delivers real protection. The ocean deserves more than lines on a map. More here: seas-at-risk.org/press-releas...

Under the guise of 'speeding the delivery of essential infrastructure', the government is going to basically remove the option of taking judicial reviews. Very often, this is the only legal route communities have to defend local ecosystems against being destroyed. share.google/0844XAjcdexK...

Fires, floods, and fossil fuels - COP30 had it all. While many countries brought a meaningful contribution to this “annual global climate potluck,” a bloc of oil-producing nations prevented agreement on phasing out fossil fuels. COP30 reminded us that momentum comes from the ground up!

For decades, hundreds of thousands of people have drunk water polluted by PFAS. Yesterday, an Italian court finally sentenced the execs of the company responsible for this disaster. It's the first criminal sentence on forever chemicals and it shows that PFAS are a matter of personal liability.

An Italian court on Thursday sentenced executives at a chemical plant to jail terms of up to 17 years for polluting water used by hundreds of thousands of people with PFAS, or "forever chemicals".
