This is where I usually get the boat every Monday morning and Friday evening to go to school. There was no boat today.

#StormBrendan is not unique for the west of Ireland. But it is a reminder if what we face should we not act on the climate crisis.

(1/...)
Warmer ocean temperatures leads to more intense winter storms (2-11% is a conservative estimate for wind speed increase). Rising sea level increases risk of flooding and means that where I was standing might well be in underwater in 20 years time. 48k without power in the West.
It's already not uncommon for boats to be disrupted for 4, 5, 6 days in a row where I live. Imagine how much worse it's going to get.

Storms destroy infrastructure, flood homes, roads and fields and kill people.
