I visited a farm outside Monasterevin on Saturday after #StormClaudia. Met Éireann told me this area received the November monthly average of #rain in the space of five days. Full interview on #Countrywide on RTÉ Radio on Saturday.

IRELAND has dropped 4 places in the 2025 global Climate Change Performance Index.
Alarm bells are blaring on the new coalition's attitude to LNG (liquified natural gas - which often comes from fracking in the USA) and data centre expansion...

The AI bubble may be about to bust.
Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.
We all need to say this very clearly:
NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!
Expropriate their asses instead.
They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.
They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

NEW: Peter Thiel has blinked. Yesterday, I posted an article about the "Great AI Bubble". And today, we find out that he's bailed on the market.
Has he cut & run? Or is this some 3-D chess-type voodoo? Thoughts please.

Cautions about the efficacy of buffer zones because the nitrate is going straight down into the soil. Useful for other issues, but not for nitrogen.

This week, we launched WeWingAnyCar.com to help you qualify for the same tax breaks that private jets get.
Because tax loopholes shouldn’t just be for billionaires.

Interesting look at mode share across 800 cities worldwide. City size and income tell you a lot about how people get around. And, well… Dublin doesn’t come out looking great. Not exactly a stronghold of public or active transport.
