The most extraordinary part is how successfully these exceptionally high polluters have managed to convince relatively low emitters that climate action is aimed at making them poorer. Especially when climate inaction really is making them poorer while not affecting the Musk’s, Gates’s etc at all.

Every urbanist needs a close friend who navigates the city in a wheelchair/w mobility challenges & a friend who does city life w small children & a friend who does it living w age-related challenges. Understanding these perspectives is vital. If we built for these, it would work for nearly everyone.

The frog is very concerned about the cost of turning off the fire that is slowly boiling his pond even though there’s a gas tap right beside him. He’s only days away from developing high grade insulation or a radical new cooling system and there’ll be no need to invest energy in turning the tap off.
People must understand that don't need to save the planet. It's perfectly capable of saving itself, and will do so by killing ut when we become too much of a nuisance. Extreme weather, higher temperatures, less arable land, water shortages? The planet don't care.
It's just about saving ourselves.
It's just about saving ourselves.
The most insanely frustrating thing about the #ClimateCrisis is how the breakthrough we so clearly need isn’t technological. It’s just a collective willingness, a determination even, to change in ways that would clearly be SO MUCH BETTER than the clear and obvious consequences of NOT changing.

Every time a pundit says ‘woke’ they should be asked to define it. On the spot before anyone can move on with the discussion. Every single time

Make space for bicycles on regional bus, says campainers
All regional buses should have spaces for bicycles, according to the Irish Cycling Campaign, a national umbrella group for most cycling campaigns. Bicycles are carried on most intercity buses in Ireland, both public and private, but more recent inter-urban regional buses, which were purchased by the National Transport Authority (NTA) for public service routes, have no bicycle storage. Responding to an NTA examining the requirments of new regional buses, the Irish Cycling Campaign said it has a preference for bicycle storage in "areas within the bus for bicycles with fold up/down seats" so, it says " the space is not wasted if there are no bikes, and a bike can be rolled on and off the bus easily, similar to wheelchairs.

20. There is no way we can build a big enough battery to shift energy from summer to winter. The economics of battery storage are nearly impossible at one cycle a year.

It's been the subject of emotive claims and some vociferous local opposition - so what's going on with the proposed Cork-Kinsale greenway, and can the project get off the ground? http://jrnl.ie/6812137
