Land use change, as advocated. You need people that work the land to make a brave/conscious decision to step away from the norm - recognising their land has benefited at expense of downstream areas. Money to make it happen faster. Perhaps something akin to parametric insurance, or subsidy
This is my area of speciality (28+ years). We know the solutions. But for Ireland we must first solve this:
"Culture eats strategy for breakfast"
"I don't think so. I'd have to dispute that very much"
"Blocking the water is not going to solve the problem, it's going to create a bigger problem"
World Wetlands Day is as good a time as any to reflect on the fact that numerous global assessments have identified Ireland as having the worst record in the world for the percentage of wetlands lost.
This is why you should not eat nuts on a plane. A friends child went into anaphylaxis because of it.

Hi everyone, after the success of the City To Casino stroll, I was kicking around the idea of running the Point To Pinnacle because I needed a goal to keep me feeling ok. Unfortunately, my glioblastoma kicked off in a new spot and made that unfeasible. However, while my running days are over
Speaking of generous souls, covid lockdown in Tasmania started a couple of months after we moved into our current space and things were going quite well but then obviously it dropped off a cliff. Our cat got run over just after it started so it was a fairly grim period.
What does the Australian Government value?
Gas company profits or 40,000 years of culture?

We just published some new #science on forest habitat loss in Tasmania! here's a quick thread!
Swift parrots are Critically Endangered because of habitat loss.
Until now, nobody has quantified the amount and trends of forest loss and degradation!

1. Hello everyone, Happy New Year. Iβm back from a lovely time, though now stricken by a nasty bug.
Right, back to it:
In my catch-up reading, there are several articles about the βcollapse of democracyβ. Was 2024 the year in which it began to die? But NONE of them seeks to define democracy. π§΅
If we were *really* serious about tackling nature collapse in Ireland (a very big if, I know), what would we be doing?
A thread...π§΅
A quick blog with personal reflections on Ireland's general election this Friday. This is mainly aimed at people who want to make their vote count for climate action.

Theres a Venn diagram here with the idea of @rushkoff.bsky.social to harness AI (which is just a model!) to just filter out the crap. Offsetting is yet another bullshit human construct that is not at all constructive
+1 for Ireland. Particularly at roundabouts
Inappropriate maybe, but feral Bargearse?? @tonymartin.bsky.social
Sick Tone on them with a shirtfront
No, no, no, I don't want to.... hell yeah I'm gonna block you
This is awesome news
Surely a better approach would have been to spend 12+ months talking about the voice, selling the good points, debunking the crap. Get this current muck out of the way before even setting a date for the referendum. Improve the likelihood of it succeeding. Talk first, vote later
Nay, never let the chance pass for a pun!
Scratched, surely?!
