Question: When is a crime not a crime?
Answer: When it’s a #wildlife crime.
Hedge-cutting is illegal, a crime, at this time of year.
But it’s a ‘wildlife crime’ and the body tasked with policing and prosecuting this @NPWSIreland are too busy providing…

"I am sick of dealing with all this environmental stuff."
Translation:
"I demand the right to be able to empty the sea of life without any restrictions so I can make even bigger boatloads of cash."

From Record-Breaking Heat to Early Snow.
In a matter of four days, the municipality of Zermatt, Switzerland, at an elevation of 1,638 meters (5,374 feet), experienced its hottest August day on record with 31.2°C (88.2°F) and an unusual pre-season heavy snow event.

"Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."
I really don't know where the IFA think vegetables come from — when every time I hear them describe a comment to "eat more vegetables" as being an "attack on farmers".

Disappointing to see @EPAIreland delete a perfectly reasonable tweet encouraging people to cut down red meat intake to lower their impact on the climate.

“What we are seeing this year is just the tip of iceberg of what we expect to happen. If we do not halt global warming soon, then extreme events we see this year will pale against the ones that are to come”
Scientists freaking out, but who’s listening?

So what if last year governments handed $7,000,000,000,000 in subsidies to the fossil fuel companies to fry the planet...
At least billionaires are getting richer.
That's what counts, right?

self congratulatory photo ops as they release their eagles & natterjack toads.
What will these media friendly ‘superstar’ releases feed upon when the photo op is over @NPWSIreland @noonan_malcolm?
This is why #nature is on her knees.
Genuflection to pretenders by pretenders.

Mornin’.
I know I’m like a broken record on this. I want to be bringing the positive stuff. The bee facts.
But a broken system, broken #leadership, broken #nature maybe requires a broken record.
This wee bird requires the angry lament on that broken record played loud.

There are so many green spaces in our towns and villages that are over-mown or sprayed, but which could instead be boosting biodiversity and bringing nature back into our lives like this corner of Cambridge. RT if you agree 🐝

🚨BREAKING: The fossil fuel industry benefited from subsidies worth $13m a MINUTE in 2022 - DOUBLE what the world spends on education.
Anyone else think this is outrageous?

People with power have convinced themselves the #ClimateEmergency is no big deal when in fact it's imminently going to dwarf WW2 and Covid, and degrade the lives of everyone and thing on Earth. If you're looking away you are part of the problem itv.com/news/2019-11-05/scie…

What??? Such a disgrace that one awful bloke has taken all the attention away from the Spanish women’s wonderful achievement. Shameful!

To know that people will be able to watch Irish ospreys swoop down and pluck fish from the water after over 200 years of absence represents pure hope.
And a demonstration that some of the many other species missing from our landscape can be restored too.

Emperor penguins suffer ‘unprecedented’ breeding failure as sea ice disappears
Ultimately they cannot survive in an ever warming world and neither can we or most other species bar cockroaches and a few other hardy species popsci.com/environment/emper…
