Budget 2026 leaves us more exposed to the ravages of climate change than ever

Spending almost four times more on subsidising fossil fuels than we do on climate change mitigation shows the utter contempt this government has for the environment

When Just Stop Oil carefully used monuments and art to raise awareness of inaction on the Climate Emergency, Starmer & co called them "pathetic" and "vandals" and encouraged prison sentences

Now they've done all they can to quickly destroy a work of art

It's taken 25 days, but we're halfway to the @unrwa.org charity fundraiser distance target

That's more than 100km walked (hobbled/limped), which was orginally going to be my overall target, because I wasn't sure if I could do that far while re-learning to walk

Sadly not, just the bay around Tralee, but here's a shot of Inis Tuaisceart from a good few years back. I need to go back down

Hottest day of the year and this evening the neighbour pulls up with a tractor trailer full of freshly cut turf

So many Irish people still living like its the 1800s, ignoring the reality of the Climate Emergency

A combination of vested interests promoting misinformation/disinformation, and poor education around the Climate Emergency has left many not knowing what tipping points and runaway climate breakdown are... or how close to it we are

If the permafrost goes, we're utterly fucked

200km walk for UNRWA

Please consider donating to my charity walk for UNRWA. I know 200km doesn't sound like a lot, but I'm re-learning to walk after a ruptured achilles and an operation

I want to use my rehab to help those suffering in Gaza

Zero media coverage of Show Your Stripes Day in the Irish press yesterday

Constant silence from the Irish media when it comes to the Climate Emergency, but tonnes of platforming misinformation & greenwashing

Not sure about anyone else but I find days like Show Your Stripes Day incredibly hard

They should be a day for unity, but instead they reinforce the delay, denial and silence about the issue

Maybe it's just my climate anxiety talking...

Staple foods and luxury goods like coffee and chocolate are under threat from the Climate Emergency, but it isn't being talked about nearly enough

This BBC article waits until the 10th paragraph to talk about the impact of climate change and doesn't even name it

The Climate Crisis is a Food Crisis
