Ongoing print media promotion of the agenda for increased flights by semi-state @DublinAirport without any contextual reference of the associated climate emissions damage or the noise disturbance impact for those under the flight paths - @EllieD798

"The numbers leave you speechless. The aviation industry’s plans for growth are completely irreconcilable with Europe’s climate goals and the scale of the climate crisis."

Profit over a liveable planet prevails...
We were warned, we knew, we understood the consequences, but yet we refused to change.
#ClimateCatastrophe
Common sense prevails…
Failures on the part of Transport Minister @EamonRyan and Tourism Minister @cathmartingreen forced airlines to take legal action and this is the welcome result.

Just a reminder that if you haven't already done so, there is still time to sign @autofac's petition which is calling for a standalone TV debate on climate change during the 2024 General Election. 👇👇👇

But let’s increase the passenger cap @DublinAirport

Don't let Orban kill the jet fuel tax.

A tax on frequent flyers in Europe could raise €64bn annually!
This would reduce excessive air travel and encourage greener alternatives, benefiting both the environment and society. Let's support sustainable solutions for a better future! 🌍✈️

You simply can't expand airports and be serious about climate action. It's like saying you're serious about tackling drug abuse while building new cocaine distribution hubs. Saying the word 'growth' a lot doesn't change that one bit.
Bad news for the environment: David Cameron tells @r4Today that when you decide you want economic growth, everything else has to be bent to that objective. The #stansted expansion -awful for climate - looks proof that @Kier_Starmer is already following his path.

Dear @NewstalkFM @TheHardShoulder you're platforming someone demanding action that will worsen the odds for our kids &grandkids, for your kids& grandkids. Their futures depend on urgently cutting emissions across ALL sectors. Lifting cap =750000 tonnes MORE emissions. #KeepTheCap

Are the Irish press now fully engaged in climate change denialism? Last week experts warned "all we can do is limit the extent of the harm" ahead for our kids, our grandkids. No mention in this of the masses more emissions lifting of cap would cause. Shameful @Independent_ie

Imagine having the privilege of spending time every week with one of the top climate journalists, @think_or_swim, and still manage to produce something like this.
I'm honestly at a loss for words.

Delicious satirical swipe at the “sustainable aviation” comedians at @AerLingus and DAA. Highlight for me were crocodile tears from Kenny Jacobs, who apparently is “very worried” about #climate change, so worried he’s working flat-out to make it worse.

'Outside they were confronted by a group of pensioners with handmade placards. Watching them, I felt proud 2 be Irish, but also embarrassed to be part of an industry that does not appear to know the meaning of responsible ambition'. tinyurl.com/bdf36ud2

And while you're catching up on what you missed, read this great piece.... about ITIC missed the point of Responsible Ambition entirely irishtimes.com/opinion/2024/…

“Comedy genius if it wasn’t deadly serious” - thank you Trevor White for ridiculing these absurd claims from @DublinAirport and @AerLingus chiefs that we need more flights to make aviation more sustainable.

Yet another disappointing take from the Irish Times.
No mention of emissions or climate change. No critical journalism.
A more relevant headline could be: 'How will climate change and biodiversity collapse impact your holidays?'

Reminder to @VirginMediaNews : #Ryanair are reported to be polluting more than ever, even as the climate crisis escalates &the odds for our kids & grandkids worsens. Please think about children's best interests & the narratives you are platforming. #ProtectWhatWeLove #KeepTheCap
