Eamon Ryan: What links Ireland to Tuvalu, a tiny coral island on the other side of the world? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tuvalu is the fourth smallest country in the world, with a population of only about 11,000 people. It is part of a circle of small coral islands lying halfway between Hawaii and Australia. Islanders say that although the islands are small, they see their country as large, because of the vast Pacific Ocean that connects them to the wider world. The average elevation is only 6ft above the high-tide mark that poses an existential threat from the rising sea levels that climate change will bring. The
Eamon Ryan: Hereâs something you donât often see - an optimistic column on the climate crisis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It is all too easy to succumb to despair as warnings from climate scientists become ever more stark and while governments are increasingly unwilling to act. Some are even reversing what they previously agreed to do. There were two further reversals in Ireland last week: public transport fares were increased and hints were given about a further deferral of carbon taxes in the upcoming budget. It is as if politics everywhere has taken on a more reactionary course, as governments ditch climate comm
What will you say when a child asks: âWhy are we driving a vehicle that is killing our planet?â (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When my children were younger and in the back of our car, they played a game spotting different-coloured car licence plates. Shouting out black reg, yellow reg or red reg, the rarer the colour the better, to get one over on a sibling who hadnât seen it first. Those coloured plates are less common today, but I now find myself scanning other cars in a similar way, looking out for a small green flash on the licence plate telling me itâs an electric vehicle (EV). The concept was already well est
Eamon Ryan: Were this summerâs heatwaves caused by El Nino or something much more terrifying? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The climate system on which we depend for everything is breaking down before our eyes. The scale and speed of what is happening is truly terrifying and requires an emergency response that jolts us out of our inaction. Some scientists knew about the relevant atmospheric physics as far back as the 1850s. The oil industry also commissioned its own research in the 1970s, which made clear the risks â a Harvard analysis found internal projections made by ExxonMobil from 1977-2003 were âshockinglyâ
Eamon Ryan on why you should enter Irelandâs Greenest Places (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You have one week to nominate a person or place doing good work to restore nature and fight climate change here at home. Whether a nomination for an individual ânet-zero heroâ or for a suburb, village, town or community, this small act of recognition could make a big difference in time. There may be a backlash in some political circles against the green agenda but increasing action on the ground tells a different story. Most people are still really worried about climate change. They want to
