Iceland has designated the potential collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) a national security concern and an existential threat.
Yet still fossil fuel usage continues to grow, and they barely agreed to *name* the problem at #COP30.

Iceland deems possible Atlantic current collapse a security risk
Iceland has designated the potential collapse of a major Atlantic Ocean current system a national security concern and an existential threat, enabling its government to strategize for worst-case scenarios, the country's climate minister told Reuters.

Predictable Irish war hawks falling over themselves today because the FT wrote an article about Ireland's 'defencelessness'.
Rory Rowan, Pat Brodie and I have an article coming out that hopefully provides some critical analysis on what we call the 'militarisation of FDI'.

Honoured to meet President Catherine Connolly at a climate event today at An Taisce in Dublin & present on transformative climate justice. Inspired that she referred to my recent article on #climatejustice in the Irish Examiner.

The Irish State is dumping €450 million of wind energy a year, despite 29% of households suffering fuel poverty, because 'there's no market'.
If you're struggling to get your head around that, it's called capitalism.

I spoke at the Occupied Territories Bill protest this evening outside Leinster House.
Tomorrow we will vote on the joint motion calling for it to be progressed - with services.
We expect the motion to pass, but we need the Government to actually act on this vote and enact the Bill without delay.

Apparently what is behind 'anti-Americanism' in Ireland is not the US-backed genocide in Gaza but 'Third World Maoism'.
Maybe the most ridiculous take yet.

Mass murder is an interesting way of “testing a fragile ceasefire”.
Incredible how international media continues to provide cover for Israel’s ongoing genocide, despite all the evidence.
