The redactive forcing aspect of climate change is frightening, in the graph, I'm thinking the public know a lot less about this, and how far in the red we are..

Donald Trump is no friend to Ireland. His warmongering has caused the fuel crisis, and worsened the cost of living. He is overseeing a rollback in human rights in the US, and a normalisation of toxic, divisive rhetoric. We will continue to resist his deplorable politics.

Shannon Airport was like a military zone yesterday, I've never seen so many Guards. There was miles and miles of security fencing and tanks patrolling up and down, with masked soldiers in full combat gear. Why are we spending millions and relocating all the guards in the country to Welcome TRUMP.

Yes I have it in my orchard too, I don't mind it there, it's just invading the plot from the meadow adjacent. Starting putting cardboard down with straw on top to see if that will slow it down, but would like to plant something under the currant bushes, left in photo to hold it back.

Denmark didn’t “transition” its grid—it replaced it. ~15% → 92% renewable electricity in 25 years. Wind did the heavy lifting. Solar is scaling. Interconnection balanced. Flexibility solved variability. Wind built it. Solar is scaling. Fossil lost it. This IS system replacement. ⚡#Bettrification

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024... yes coal is worse if you only count consumption emissions but if you count extraction and leaking during transport. LNG is 33% worse over a 20 year period. Plus there is all the human rights and environmental devastation associated with fracked gas.
