I’m a linear park along the banks of the Ward River, next to Swords town. Heavily wooded areas. Impressive diversity of wildlife. Many ancient monuments. 🇮🇪🇵🇸

'Hijacked'? 'Pushing an agenda'? It's called EU law, namely the Habitats Directive, it's been in place for decades, & like most laws Ireland is failing to do that well, while our biodiversity pays the price.

So, yes, eNGOs are pushing it. Unapologetically.

#Biodiversity isn’t a luxury.
It’s the system that makes oxygen, food, clean water, and stable weather possible.
But we treat it like an optional accessory.

Who comes up with something like this in the midst of a climate crisis caused by the economy? Energy already costs a fortune for people, emissions from construction are out of control, and now we're building data centers to host 'AI', which by their very nature leeches energy, spews out emissions.

Tees Valley mayor Lord (Ben) Houchen promised renewal. Instead, Britain’s biggest regeneration project has turned into a taxpayer-funded scandal - enriching a few local businessmen while leaving public bodies on the brink.

Fingal Council issues awards every year for reduced pesticide use (via Tidy Towns) but is clearly failing to live by those standards itself

The BBC's senior leadership resigning en masse over one dodgy edit in one programme, simply because the right wing press demands it, tells you everything you need to know about where the power really lies in that relationship

Yet more science showing that regenerative grazing is overblown as a climate solution.

A better path? Cut back on beef production altogether, and return grazing lands to nature.

Grieving another missed chance to protect our planet. They meet in luxury, fly private jets, & gather in the Amazon, yet choose inaction over real climate solutions! A lot of empty words, full pockets, and plenty of #greenwashing! #COP30

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

It's exceeding painful and sobering to see what is happening to the biosphere. The highest identity is biodiversity; everything else is a distant second to that. 🌲🌲🌲
