The Green Party are supporting Catherine Connolly *because* we care about nature, and because we have always said that climate justice and social justice are inseparable.

I'm still in shock that somebody would say that they care so much about the environment that they'll vote for HEATHER HUMPHRIES

It’s premature of CCAC to call for the urgent development of a regulation on No Net Loss of Biodiversity. While some evidence suggests that NNL has potential benefits, there are serious concerns & evidence of ongoing issues with enforcement, compliance & monitoring www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2025...
New buildings must present ‘no net loss’ to nature, says Climate Change Council
Advisers want conditions added to planning laws to conserve and enhance biodiversity

The real challenge for tech bros is striking the fine balance between completely destroying humanity and retaining enough of it that their billions are still worth something.

Cloudy with no wind. A recipe for little renewable energy!! 😬
greencollective.io
Renewable generation and pumped storage equalled 11% of yesterday's electricity demand, with a peak of 16% at 04:00. Fossil fuel generation (mostly gas) equalled 62% of demand. 0% of generation was exported, 27% of demand was met by imports.
A stacked area chart of the electricity generation mix on the island of Ireland. There are eight fuel types: pumped storage, biomass, waste-to-energy, hydro, solar, wind, oil, and gas. There is also a black line showing electricity demand.

Footnote reads: All-island figures. Excludes domestic solar. Source: EirGrid, SEMO

Kristi Noem complains that ICE agents can't find a place to get a meal or take a piss. Well, maybe that's because they have detained all the hard working people who cook/serve those meals, and clean those toilets?

In a woodland I was helping establish into Burren lowland grassland, there was a stage of massive bracken in that transition between biggish trees in the long grass and woodland. So the trees were well above the bracken. Years 16 to 20, give or take. It marked the end of the grass.

Who is dropping out of BRICS? What are you talking about? You essentially taxed your own importers.

Why is nobody following up on this.

Perhaps if the media didn't keep asking the same damn questions of Connolly, and asked the former minister more questions about why she was so unpopular with environmentalists, people with disabilities, animal rescues it might be more interesting.
Ye can ask Connolly about her record as a TD too

Nearly every media outlet is announcing they will refuse to sign the Pentagon’s new rule stating they cannot report information if it’s not government “authorized.”

Even Newsmax is refusing to sign.

48% of Ireland's waterbodies are so polluted, contaminated with chemicals, choked with algae, deprived of oxygen, lacking in species variety or physically altered and damaged that they fail to meet minimally acceptable standards.

And it's getting worse.

I honestly feel many people are sick of performatively confrontational presidential candidate debates.

The constant interruptions, prickly haranguing, random hypotheticals, repetitive dredging of controversy instead of hearing about values, character, vision.

We deserve smarter discourse.

I can't get over this as an answer. Like, did she hear the question, or just not want to hear it?
