Heatwaves, drought and then a tornado: France fraught over extreme weather stress (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Visitors to the Languedoc in France these days know there is an increased likelihood of encountering a ferocious storm, but turbulence that erupted south of Carcassonne in late August was of a different dimension. A raging tornado was thrown into the mix. Inevitably, people linked it to a summer of repeated heatwaves frequently touching 40 degrees. Although the link between tornadoes and climate change is tenuous, it illustrated the possible shape of future extreme weather events that will undou

HaPPE Earth is a start-up founded in 2021 by cousins Dr Mary OâRiordan and Lisa OâRiordan, making 100 per cent compostable, plastic-free personal protective equipment (PPE). Its medical-grade aprons, booties and hairnets are designed to replace single-use plastics in healthcare and other industries. Their bio-based materials, derived in part from sustainable sources such as thistles, degrade in just five weeks, compared with standard PPE, which can take up to 50 years. HaPPE features in a re
Rock on: Kevin OâSullivan gets a much sought-after tour of Kerryâs Skellig Michael (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A heavy morning mist sat over Portmagee, Co Kerry. It was as if the long hot summer was ending and we had no cause to complain. We feared a boat trip to Skellig Michael might be off due to unsuitable sea conditions â a not-infrequent occurrence due to it being so far out in the Atlantic. Our hopes took a turn for the better; there was no 7am email from our skipper Sandra OâConnor to say the trip was off. So we ventured across the bridge to the Valentia Island side of the harbour and our bert
Cross-Border commitment crucial in nursing Irelandâs ailing lakes back to health (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My most telling early environmental education was on the precarious state of the Great Western Lakes â notably, Loughs Corrib, Mask and Carra. These limestone lakes have some of the best wild brown trout fisheries in Europe. Factoring in their catchments, they are also critically important salmonid waters for salmon and sea trout. Understanding their vulnerability during the 1980s and 1990s came courtesy of a great environmentalist, Tony Waldron from Ballymote, Co Sligo, who was then the drivi
EVs may soon become the quickest cars on Earth (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It was fascinating to see the online backlash against Ferrariâs Luce; its first EV launched with typical elan recently. The Luce â meaning light in Italian â comes with a top speed of 310km/hour, a battery engine and a price tag of more than â¬500,000. On the surface, it might be summed up as classical reaction from petrolheads â those who get a high from the roar of the spark-ignited internal combustion engine (ICE) and associated rapid acceleration, if not the fossil fumes.
