The concept images of the new Jaguar EVs are the perfect illustration for our ethical car design article on aerodynamics

Designs like this are intended to allow the wealthy to continue consuming more than their fair share of energy:

EV sales rose above 2023 levels for only the 2nd time this year, according to latest SIMI stats

While sales were up 59.3% last month compared to November 2023, EV sales are still 24.2% below last year's results due to Government grant cuts & misinformation

While we have the highest electricity prices in Europe, that isn't the biggest factor

The main reasons are twofold:
1) The Government cut grants in 2023 - with an immediate drop off in sales
2) Enormous amounts of misinformation in the Irish press

THIS is what's wrong with the Irish press

An article about weather events influenced and worsened by the Climate Emergency that fails to mention the climate...

...But does include a fucking poll for more flights!

Jesus Christ!

This is one of the leading greenwashing and climate denial journalists in Ireland

He regularly promotes delay technologies, disinformation and myths

This is prevalent across Irish media and causes enormous harm against climate action

The government cut incentives last summer and sales immediately plummeted

But, as the article outlines, we have a very small media landscape here that is rife with greenwashing, mis/disinformation that has compounded the issue alongside other culture wars

Warming stripes running out of red

Scientists added a new shade to a graphical representation of global temperature change to keep up with our warming world

This should be an urgent wake up call
