"Full" (all of two pages) advice from #CCAC to IE Government, endorsing continuing exploration for offshore natural gas: climatecouncil.ie/media/Climate%…
Extraordinarily weak "expert" contribution IMHO:
Explains that know reserves of coal alone, or oil alone would be enough to exceed remaining +1.5C CO2 budget; but natural gas alone would not. On this basis somehow argues that continued NG exploration is warranted...
Delighted to be an observer at @irishcongress #BDC19 this morning as they debate motions on #ClimateAction and #JustTransition and a keynote address from Mary Robinson. Government plan is hopelessly weak on Just Transition, compared to #JOCCA report. We need a Task Force now. 
Speaking to @irishcongress #BDC19 Mary Robinson praises @GretaThunberg for speaking so directly and quotes her:
“We need to keep the fossil fuels in the ground and we need to focus on equity.”
Are you listening @LeoVaradkar, @RichardbrutonTD and @SeanCanney?

Mary Robinson sets out 3 steps for people taking #ClimateAction. First, take personal ownership and action. She says again she has become a pescatarian, still eating fish but giving up meat. @irishcongress #BDC19
I've been looking in more detail at the #governance arrangements of @RichardbrutonTD's #ClimatePlan2019 today, incl. comparing the published plan, the leaked April draft version & @1Hildegarde @OireachtasNews #JOCCA report
Warning: long technical thread for #climate nerds like me. I'm looking at you @jmcurtin @CAugustenborg @Paulkenny79 @BOGallachoir @EnvJusticeUCC @homebirdnow @SadhbhO @Jerry_MacEvilly @davidhealyv @MiseAnja @climpeter @OisinCoghlan @sarah_wien @SimonMatti @tdlegge @averchenkova
1/ #Governance framework of #ClimatePlan2019 has rightly been praised. It is much stronger than 2015 #climatelaw. Those with too much time on their hands can read my 2017 @Env_Pol article on the process that led to the 2015 law
