- Reposted by Paul PriceThe question isn't whether people should wear high-viz/helmets. People should wear whatever makes them feel safer. Question is whether mandatory high-viz/helmets is good public policy - it's not Protected lanes, safe junction design, more cyclists, and better driver behaviour are good public policy

- 🇮🇪 Govmt has fully bought into the 🇺🇸dumb bro strategy: Profits & energy security are for big tech, AI & gas. BUT we pay the costs: higher bills, fossil lock-in & climate breakdown. 🇮🇪 plans to add 21 new gas power stations (to the 20 already operating) [+LNG]. GEM data: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

- 🇮🇪 Government's proposed Strategic Gas Emergency Reserve Bill would enable fossil fuel lock-in, violate EU law, & (Head 20) subvert the Climate Act's key s.15. 📢 Deadline TODAY 5pm for submissions to the Joint Committee on Pre-Legislative consultation on the Bill. www.oireachtas.ie/en/committee...

- Reposted by Paul PriceDelaying the 2026 Climate Action Plan is deeply concerning. Efforts are already way off-track & the CAP is the main tool for closing the delivery gap this decade. Saying we must wait for post-2030 carbon budgets is conceptually backwards - delay now makes future targets harder and more expensive.

- Reposted by Paul Price💸 New @greenpeace.eu report exposes EU's corporate-run farming model. EU subsidies = wealth for the rich: in some countries, the top 1% takes up to 40% while small-scale farmers go under, EU countryside is industrialised, and nature is destroyed☠️ It can be so different.
