What is happening in and around Antarctica should be such a wake-up call! The Earth is progressively losing its ability to reflect heat which the oceans keep absorbing. Payback time is looming large on the horison. Where are the emissions emergency brakes?! Data: ads.nipr.ac.jp/vishop/#/ext...

Ireland’s EU Presidency is first and foremost about serving global capital. Simplification means a bonfire of hard won regulations and oversight. Competitiveness means rolling back workers rights and employer obligations. Some call it tech feudalism, but it’s much worse than that.

Wow, 800,000 tons (725,750 tonnes) of CO₂ every year! Impressed? You shouldn't be. Europe emits about 3.3 billion tonnes of greenhouse gas equivalents annually from domestic production. (Eurostat) So that's about 0.02% capture then. #CCS

Much as we love bookshops, they need more than love to keep going. A bookshop can be the centre of a whole community. Bookshops support authors; organize events. A thriving bookshop teaches the next generation that literacy matters. So don't just love your bookshop: actually buy books there.

Overshooting 1.5°C is not a reason to give up. On the contrary, it’s a reason to act faster, because the higher the temperature rise and the longer it stays there, the greater the damage. Here’s what “overshoot” means and why every fraction of a degree matters.

Square illustrated image split into 4 horizontal sections. The is a collaged image, two figures in the centre in teal and pale purple. Their eyes and mouths are from different people and are much larger, and jump off the faces. They are saying "Hear us Now!" in black and white ransom style font. The backgrounds of these are cone shaped speech bubbles, they are both patterned with interlocking points in shades of teal, purple and yellow. The ARC logo is to the right of the two figures in the centre.
The next section says "15th annual March for Choice" in white font outlined in black, with a similar pattern to the speech bubble behind it.
The next horizontal says "Saturday September 26th 2026" in black against a see-through white rectangle, that you can see the pattern through.
The last section is a teal rectangle with rounded ends and says "When: 2pm, Where: Dept of Health Lower Baggot Street"

Forests don’t just store carbon — they can physically cool the land and help keep entire water systems functioning. Trees pull water from the soil and release it into the atmosphere through transpiration.
