It's now just 10 days until Ireland's Earth Overshoot day
On 2nd May, we'll have consumed all the ecological resources that the Earth can regenerate in a single year
The other 243 days of the year we're stealing from our own futures

Shell made over £22 BILLION in profit last year.
It was also the hottest year on record for the planet.
Shell's PROFIT is our LOSS!
Pass it on.

77.5% of all cars sold in Ireland in January 2024 were entirely reliant on fossil fuels to run
Every new petrol, diesel and hybrid car sold now will lock in decades of new emissions & perpetuate fossil fuel extraction
#ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency
Electric Vehicle (EV) sales seen continued growth with 4,109 new electric vehicles registered for the month of January when compared to 3,674 in January 2023 (⬆️12%).

Can we get all those who were so upset about @ExtinctionR doing symbolic actions that don't damage anything to now speak up?

Plastic Bottle Recycling Scheme Another Climate Cop Out
Ireland incinerates 71% of its plastic waste and is still 'overtly reliant' on exporting recycling, so how is the Deposit Return Scheme going to help? irishevs.com/plastic-bottle-…

Farmers and the far-right have been engaging in climate denial culture wars in Ireland and across Europe
Farmers need help. They need fair compensation. However, they cannot continue to align themselves with misinformation

Remember when Weber Shandwick supported ICCRA in creating a disinformation campaign about electric cars?
And how they wanted to delay regulations to phase out polluting petrol/diesel vehicles by a decade
They want you to forget:

Ironic to see RTE News talking about the EU directive to stop greenwashing
There can be few Irish news organisations who have done more to platform greenwashing and climate denial in recent years
That's why they keep winning Irish Greenwashing Awards

An EU directive to ban the use of misleading environmental claims on products has been overwhelmingly passed by the European Parliament rte.ie/news/2024/0117/142696…

This is a perfect example of where political & media rhetoric continues to ignore 60 years of clear scientific consensus on the Climate Crisis
*Some* progress is not nearly enough in the context of what's at stake & how quickly things are moving

Conor Pass: The case for a new national park
The Government is happy to provide €2.2bn in fossil fuel subsidies to actively worsen the Climate Crisis, but balks at the cost of €10m to create a new national park...

In case you wondered why motorsport journalists are still ignoring the role that the industry plays in the Climate Crisis...
...It probably has a lot to do with being sponsored by the single biggest CO2 polluter in human history

The “E-Bike Effect:” Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%. Via @Treehugger treehugger.com/e-bikers-ride…

Today's the day!
The Irish Greenwashing Awards will kick-off at 6pm right here @IrishEVs
The Awards aim to raise awareness of the prevalence of greenwashing & the need for legislation to protect Irish citizens from greenwashers

F1 is increasingly greenwashing in order to avoid taking responsibility for its role in worsening the Climate Crisis
Despite motorsport media completely ignoring this, the link could not be clearer:

Galway Beo: "Let's ignore the worsening #ClimateCrisis that is evident all around us & instead celebrate private jets"
Flying in private jets is one of the single most harmful acts for both human & planetary health - but their use is growing rapidly:

Yes - EVs are significantly cheaper to run
The average driver in Ireland could save thousands of Euros per year in fuel, maintenance & cut their carbon footprint significantly

🔥A clear example of why carbon offsetting is nothing more than greenwashing
Companies like @goapplegreen claim that planting trees offsets the daily harm they do - but this lie rings even more hollow as the #ClimateCrisis increases forest fires

⚠️The Big Air-Con⚠️
Increasing use of air conditioners - especially in temperate climates such as Ireland - is worsening the Climate Crisis
In fact, its making the world significantly hotter while you stay cool

Can anyone tell us what a melting ice cream has to do with the #ClimateCrisis that is causing more frequent and extreme heat?
Or what it has to do with mass extinction this Century without action?
The Irish press is failing to accurately report on the #ClimateEmergency
