Worried about climate change?

Enjoy reading?

Jack Byrne writes:

I have written a short climate change novel which I’d like to give free to Broadsheet users. to coincide with the fallout from the climate conference in Paris.

The novel is linked by a series of short stories that attempt to portray what each increase of global warming will mean to us as a species.

These tales for the journey during the rest of this century, based on the science, will assist us in imagining the unimaginable and maybe will move us to act to avert the worst effects.
This is not a promotional stunt, I’ve no interest in making money out of this work, I’d just like to offer it to interested readers.

Arby’s Meat Mountain (top) and their application to use their trade mark in Ireland

Nom.

Copyright lawyer Brian Conroy writes;

So I spotted a Trade Mark filing for ‘Arby’s’ in Ireland, and thought ‘Who are they?’ – Then it struck me that this could be one of those things that goes totally over my head because I never went to the States on a J1, and the fact that they could be coming to Ireland (why else would you register your Trade Mark here) could be a big deal?!  .Anyway, above is the application (they already have a registration across Europe BTW) and (top) is their signature dish The Meat MountNOMNOMNOM

Are Arby’s coming to Ireland?! Also, who the fudge are Arby’s? – Brian Conroy
