‘sup?
This afternoon.
The Natural History Museum, Dublin 2.
Fearful youngsters – many on the mitch – call for action on climate change, part of a spontaneous, from the ground up, not adult-led ‘Climate Strike’ taking place across the country and the world.
They are the future.
Save yourselves.
This is not a CityTree. This is not a habitat or a food source. This does not reduce noise pollution or run-off. This does not prevent soil erosion. This does not connect us with nature, nourishing our physical and mental health.
This is shameful. https://t.co/sr2gq3i6cn

How dare you.
Yesterday.
Climate change ‘electric trees’ in Cork city.
Anyone?
This afternoon.
Leinster House, Kildare Street, Dublin 2.
Science-loving, climate change campaigners gather outside Leinster House as a ‘landmark’ report by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is released warning ‘strong and sustained reductions in emissions of carbon dioxide’ are required to limit damage to the planet.
Could do with some warming up this week.
Pause.
How dare you.

THIS is warming?
How dare you, Greta.
FIGHT!
In recent years, some have suggested that nuclear energy is the key to reducing climate change. And others have said that’s just pish.
But who is right? And just how much do those other ejects suck?
German educational design studio Kurzgesagt has the answer, but – unlike their trademark plain-science animations – it’s not straightforward.
Of the most terrifying, relentless and seemingly intractable man-made problem faced by the world today, German educational design studio Kurzgesagt sez:
We have known for decades that rapid Climate Change is being caused by the release of Greenhouse Gases. But instead of reducing them, in 2019 the world was emitting 50% more CO2 than in the year 2000. And emissions are still rising. Why is that? Why is it so hard to just stop emitting these gases?

She’s back!
This afternoon.
Berlin, Germany.
Thunberg, who along with other activists delivered Merkel a letter with 125,000 signatures calling on leaders to do more to cut emissions, said people should “step put of their comfort zones” and be brave enough to tackle the problem.
“We told her we face a climate emergency,” Thunberg said of the meeting with Merkel. “We want leaders to step up and treat this as an emergency,” she said at a press conference.

This afternoon.
Dublin city centre.
Intolerant, climate change-fearing tykes take to the streets to scold ‘boomers’ and their selfish ilk for stupidly cooling warming the planet.
Formerly called ‘going on the mitch’.
More as we get it.
