Sadhbh O'Neill: Benefits of Irelandâs solar boom shouldnât go only to the big energy firms (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Irelandâs solar power revolution is well under way. Despite vocal opposition to individual planning applications, the Solar Ireland Scale of Solar Report expects there will be 3.3 gigawatts (GW) of installed capacity by the end of this year. In July, solar power reached 9.4 per cent of Irelandâs electricity demand. For a technology that just a couple of decades ago was considered unsuitable for Ireland, this is a remarkable transformation. Utility-scale solar projects can range from relative

Something interesting is happening in the right-leaning UK media. After a summer of relentless heatwaves and droughts, the normally climate-sceptic Daily Telegraph newspaper published a series of articles recently acknowledging that high temperatures were a threat to âhomes, nature and food securityâ, without blaming this on rewilding.

During his first two (of four) terms, he led the US out of a deep economic depression with his New Deal, mobilising millions

The most surreal image of the summer must be that photo of a couple watching a French wildfire out of control from beach deckchairs. Itâs hard not to feel like a guilty spectator of catastrophe this summer â enjoying the beautiful weather at home while unbearable heat and mega-wildfires have been ravaging continental Europe. According to climate scientists, these successive and extreme heatwaves would have been unthinkable in a world without climate change. So far, the heatwaves are estimate
