"In Denmark, well-established heat planning mandates that gas and district heating networks do not overlap. The country has a decommissioning fund to cover the costs of removing gas supplies from homes and offers a scheme for free disconnections for private residences."

Minister for Climate Darragh O’Brien: we can grow Dublin Airport ‘sustainably’ from 36m to 60m passengers.
Mary Wilson: What about climate, have you run the numbers on emissions?
Minister: No question there will be an increase, SAF exists, planes more technologically advanced now…

This Government is apparently willing to sacrifice a livable future for short term profit. In just the last 3 decades, Ireland's aviation emissions have grown by 500% & this Government seems hell-bent on increasing them more. We must contact our TDs & Senators & tell them to keep the passenger cap!

Ban night flights, stop airport expansions.
We stand with communities in Ireland impacted by harmful night flights. Kids need adequate rest for their well-being.
They also need urgent climate action from aviation, to help protect their futures.🌎

Just finished reading @thinkorswim.bsky.social 's book "The Lie of The Land" - a must-read for anyone in Ireland who cares about doing what needs doing to try to ensure a habitable planet for ourselves & future generations. Also a valuable reference for any activist - which we all need to be now.

I just emailed Minister of Justice Jim O'Callaghan, Minister of State Niall Collins, and the Taoiseach demanding Ireland does not support the new Chat Control bill which lets the EU read all of your WhatsApp and Signal messages without encryption. Please do this also

Good to see launch of John Gibbons @sinkorswim.bsky.social book The Lie of the Land, including a section on aviation www.thejournal.ie/readme/john-...

Great to see this video of July @staygroundednet.bsky.social gathering in Barcelona of activists on the destructive impact of aviation on the climate and communities. I represented @rightoverflight.bsky.social. I, and everyone there, travelled there by land and sea. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNkX...

There's really thought-provoking commentary on AI in this article. It seems to me we're way too accepting of the seeming inevitability of AI.

Dr Orla Kelleher of Maynooth University School of Law and Criminology calls on Ireland to show greater leadership and ambition on climate action. @maynoothlaw.bsky.social‬ @orlakelleher.bsky.social‬

This graph illustrates nicely why @foeireland.bsky.social , @nhna.bsky.social and other groups are calling for a pause on data centre expansion.

Truly absurd!

NHNA priorities include

🔴 Stopping new fossil fuel infrastructure
🟡 Advocating for a just and fair transition
🟢 Supporting widespread development of indigenous renewable energy

Members of Not Here Not Anywhere were in Malahide this weekend talking to members of the public about the high carbon footprint of LNG and the upcoming response from TD Minister O’Brien to An Coimisiún Pleanála’s request regarding Shannon LNG’s planning application (1/2)

Using our template, email Minister O’Brien urging him to respond that the Government is categorically against private LNG terminals and that the 4th March cessation of the policy on importation of fracked gas does not allow for the importation of LNG by private companies.

Still places left on this! I'm really looking forward to it. There will be plenty of opportunity for interaction & community building, in addition to the five great speakers from @climateambassador.bsky.social , @notherenotanywhere.bsky.social, @trocaire.bsky.social, @rightoverflight.bsky.social

As we hold our breaths in horror at what is happening in the Middle East, we know one thing to be true: until everyone is safe in the region, no one can be safe. Recognising Palestine will set the tone for peace. Join me and speak up for peace? action.wemove.eu/sign/2024-04...

I fully agree with @lnbdublin.bsky.social that the DAA should take out ad space to apologise for "misleading the public" in this radio ad.
