#RegenesisFact 4. This one will come as a shock to many people. Unless I’ve missed something, there is no major farm product as environmentally damaging as organic, pasture-fed beef.
Here’s the reasoning: 🧵

Let me tell you something about the illegal US blockade against Cuba.

The blockade is an extreme attack on a sovereign government that poses zero threat to the United States or any other country. It is opposed by the entire international community except for the US and Israel.

Imagine that. A university considering the demands of its students to divest from human-rights abusing companies - and the students honouring good faith negotiations.

Without calling in the national guard.
Absolute shocker.
PS: well done Brown students!

🚨 NOW LIVE🚨 The Interim National Energy Balance for 2023. National energy-related emissions decreased by 7.3%, reaching their lowest level in 30 years. However, Ireland is not yet on track to remain within its 2021-2025 carbon budget. Read the report🔽 bit.ly/2TaI1t5

Student power.

Does anyone know where the removed posts were left? Are they still there? Looks like this might require a(nother) citizen intervention.

Month on month it is a worrying trend.... also when you compare both time periods, sales of all new cars are up 6%

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
It'd be nice if €170m of taxpayer funds annually was used to advance climate ambition, rather than be lead by status quo lobbyists.

I cannot believe nobody in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council has acted on this yet. It’s the bare minimum that should be done.

'In my nearly forty years as a faculty member, I have never seen such brazen cruelty toward students and faculty, such cowardice before what amounts to a right-wing witch hunt, and such blatant dishonesty.'

Just want to juxtapose this with SEAI interim energy statistics today: 'Ireland used 1.36 billion litres of jet kerosene in 2023, the highest annual energy demand in air travel ever recorded, up 12.7% on the previous year.' seai.ie/news-and-media…

On RTÉ News this morning, they spoke of a 'heavy-handed' approach to student protests in Columbia. I presume these terms are chosen to underplay the significance of what is going on as US authorities repress peaceful pro-Palestinian protest.

I can't believe this is sitting right in front of us and we might let it happen.

Faced with Israel's astonishing defamation of both International Courts, the ICJ and the ICC, the EU ignores Israel's commitment made to it in return for trade access to the market, to respect human rights, democracy and the UN Charter principles.
Israel counts on on der Leyen.

What does the latest European Court of Human Rights climate judgment mean for Ireland?
