Fair point. For sure the real story is what is behind the rise. Not just who and why, but how. The tactics involved in radicalising huge swathes of people is really what needs to be exposed. Ordinary people are being influenced and divided by carefully curated algorithms. Like lambs to slaughter.

The rise of the far right is a real political issue. Whatever money is behind Steen is dangerous, we've watched it in US and UK it was all an insignificant joke back in 2016, and now where are we. Its not the clowns like Trump and Farage to watch out for its the money behind them.

We're hopping on the attention #metgala2025 has been getting to draw your attention to our Climate Question episodes which discuss the not-so-glamorous truths of climate change.

Check out 'What Is Greenwashing?' to find out why this matters + how to spot the BS! Listen here: bit.ly/Climate-Alar...

Ecosia - the search engine that plants trees Ecosia uses 100% of its profits for the planet and produces enough renewable energy to power all searches twice over.

No longer an emergency, but still a pandemic.

More flights, more emissions.

My letter to the editor in today’s Irish Times.

The media continues to offer free PR to high-emission industries such as aviation. This has to stop if we are to get serious about climate action.

I know complaining about Katy Perry in β€œspace” is low hanging fruit and there are much worse things happening in the world, but there’s just something so peak… shallow and smarmy… bread and circuses… about it that typifies everything wrong with a system that serves only the shallow and the rich

Right. Climate realism would be the realization that the cavalry isn't coming to save anyone's comfy, wasteful lifestyle. Techno Fairy Dust & Magic Beans aren't going to rescue modernity. Learn to live with less now because there will be no choice later.

So after bullying through Lowry and Verona, giving New Fortress Energy a free pass for LNG, next up CETA and its Investor Court System, do not under estimate the level of damage this coalition is pushing through.

I keep telling myself that a global financial collapse likely will see a dip in emissions.
