Currently reading, currently enjoying 💙 📖 #booksky #speirgorm

Paperback book cover of "The Fog" by James Herbert (50th Anniversary Edition). The dark, moody cover shows a swirling grayscale fog with two glowing white eyes peering from the darkness. The title THE FOG is in bold gold text, and the author's name is in white above it. A quote at the bottom from STEPHEN KING reads: "'Herbert seizes us by the lapels and begins to scream in our faces.'"

There are many animal welfare issues with dog breeding in Ireland. We want to see further action to protect these animals, and fewer dogs breeding under far better conditions in this country.

People need assistance during this fuel crisis, but this is not the way to do it. Government has bowed to pressure from right wing lobbyists that chain us to fossil fuel dependence. The debt for this will be paid in human health and wellbeing. www.rte.ie/news/budget-...

Fellow cherry laurel haters, have you melt down with the link below. By doing so, this laurel could be included on the list of "species of national concern" so it would then be banned from garden centres and through the horticulture trade invasives.ie/cherrylaurel... #speirgorm #gardening 🌱

Public opinion swings SHARPLY in favour of the shark.

"We went off fishing for sharks along the coast of Co
Waterford," Mr Achim told 'All About Cork with Paul Byrne', adding that when he landed what was his first-ever Blue Shark, it "lunged" at him.
"I finally managed to land my first Blue Shark and while I was admiring the catch, the catch decided to lunge at my leg and grab my calf," he said.
"It managed to rip part of my calf and do damage that we required special services for."

It is about time that we reclaimed Dublin waterways and made Dublin a swimmable city. Because a swimmable Dublin is a healthier, more liveable, climate resilient, and equitable Dublin. My piece in the Journal! #BlueHealth

thejournal.ie

No cool down capital: Dublin is a city by the sea, so why is it so hard to go for a swim?

As heatwaves become more frequent, access to safe, swimmable blue spaces in our cities is not a luxury, it should be a public health priority.

It's Day 1 of Andy Burnham being Prime Minister & Donald Trump is celebrating the destruction of our planet. Meanwhile Spain doubled it's renewables - before they had some of the highest bills in Europe and now some of the lowest bills. Labour need to stop appealing to Trump.

The People of Aberdeen, in Scotland, are dancing in the streets because the new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, has stated that he will be opening up, all the way, the invaluable North Sea Oil! It is one of the Greatest Sources of quality Oil on Earth, has hundreds of years of Capacity left, with much not even found yet, and will make the United Kingdom, from a Poverty Stricken Disaster, to one of the Richest Countries anywhere in the World! Britain pays Norway Billions of Dollars a year to buy its Oil, which they get from a less valuable part of the North Sea — How ridiculous is that! Also, word is that the UK is going to move the old and horrible looking windmills, which loom over and destroy the City of Aberdeen.That will be a big day for the Country, and will be very much appreciated by everybody. Such great potential in the UK, but it all starts with OPENING NORTH SEA OIL. WE LOVE YOU SCOTLAND! President DONALD J. TRUMP

When extreme heatwaves occur, it is critical that the public are made aware in the media they consume that greenhouse gas emissions, primarily from burning fossil fuels, have made those heatwaves hotter than they would otherwise have been.
