There's a new study out on young peoples' attitudes to climate change.
Survey on 16-25yo across 10 countries. 1,000 people in each country.
Since it's in the media quite a bit, but data not quick to find, I plotted some of the results 🧵👇

In response to the IPCC report this week, the Irish farming lobby appears to be coordinating a misinformation campaign to spread confusion about the warming impact of methane. They then accuse any scientist correcting them of lobbying, sometimes getting personal.
Some examples:

Scream it from the rooftops: 50% BY 2030 IS TOO LITTLE, 2050 IS TOO LATE.
These pathetic targets drawn up by greedy politicians desperate to hold on to power will not save us. We have to do that ourselves.
🇮🇪♻️ Ireland is going to become a leader on #ClimateAction.
With net-zero emissions by 2050 and a 51% reduction in carbon by 2030, Ireland is tackling this challenge head-on. #IPCC

Today's IPCC report reiterates what we already know: limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees remains possible, but only if we act now. Are our leaders willing to do what is needed, or will they continue to prioritize profits over planet?
The answer is clear: #UprootTheSystem

With the @IPCC_CH report coming out today, it's crucial that we come together and mobilise for change. Here are a few places to start if you're looking to get involved in Ireland- feel free to add any more below!

Most Irish people do get the threat that climate change and biodiversity loss presents and want to do something about.
Unfortunately, you don't. That's why you gutted your own climate bill this week, which was already inadequate, and why you are propping up the aviation industry
I think most Irish people get the threat that climate change and biodiversity loss presents and want to do something about it. Nature based solutions give us the chance to tackle both and develop a new green economy at the same time.

This is totally fine and good. It’s not like there’s a climate crisis or anything. It’s not like we could work on other modes of transport besides flying for the purpose of uhm *checks notes* traveling from one end of a tiny island to the other.
I'm very pleased to announce the restoration of regional air services to Donegal and Kerry Airports.
Ryanair has committed to operate a service over the next 7 months and beyond, with higher seating capacity than previously provided by Stobart Air.

Why in the world would anyone want to fly to Donegal or Kerry???
Regional flights make no sense even in countries like France or Germany. Ireland is a significantly smaller country.
Rather than subsidising flights for American tourists, how about tackling climate breakdown?

"Let’s be clear — what you are doing is not about climate action or responding to an emergency. It never was. This is communication tactics disguised as politics."
Yesterday I adressed the #AustrianWorldSummit along with Angela Merkel, António Guterres, Alok Sharma and others.

Let’s talk about how 60% of the 1,500 residents of Silwan, Palestine who will be displaced by Israel are CHILDREN. That’s at least 900 children. 900 children who will be left with no homes. 900 children who will possibly be killed. 900. #SaveSilwan
