  1. Cork hospital cancels all outpatient appointments and is under "lockdown" as a man in his 40s tests positive for coronavirus in intensive care without any contact with known infected patients or travel history to anywhere with an outbreak, so proving my fear that its now spreading freely in Ireland. I reckon in 2 weeks Ireland will see an explosion in cases like in Italy. First community transmission case of virus in Ireland WWW.RTE.IE Health authorities are trying to trace patients and healthcare staff at Cork University Hospital who may have been in contact with the first case of Covid-19 here that is a result of community transmission.
  2. Still so much uncertainty for what is coming in only 48 hours time!
  3. Generally speaking, the land to our east has not cooled down as much as it had done in previous years?
  4. Whats the use of blocking when there is no cold air to tap into, since the arctic has melted into oblivion? We're seeing it already. Synoptics needs to be more and more exceptional to get any good results.
  5. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-49157898 Was indeed hottest day ever recorded.
  6. Only got one flash and a bit of thunder here. Looks as if the southern end of it has more to offer ATM.
  7. Heavy rain, but just narrowly missed the lightning here. Well needed rain though!
  8. You're so correct. If we just stuck our heads in the sand now, in a few decades we'd have an economy in tip top racing condition perfectly capable of handling millions of refugees, crop failure at home, poisoned and rising seas, a destabilised and eroded democracy along with global conflict over simple resources like water and arable land!
  9. It doesn't matter what we want anyway, the weather will do its thing regardless of our wishes or concerns...
  10. Oh my God call the police the MetOffice is showing 20C!
  11. Could get electrical next week. But there seems to be uncertainty about how west the rain/thunderstorms will go!
  12. Apologies for bringing this thread back a bit but God Almighty I can't believe in 2019 we are sitting here with some people on this forum virulently arguing that climate change isn't real, or it isn't anthropogenic. Its often ignorance, even wilful ignorance and perhaps I'd go as far as to say that its at times deliberate maliciousness that isperpetuating this nonsense. Please can we have a more robust attitude on this forum i.e remove unsubstantiated contrarian opinion instantly... Apologies again. I don't usually take a lighthearted forum seriously....
  13. Collective responsibility could be assumed if it was the collective that were responsible for what happened. But that isn't applicable to the climate mess which the fault doesn't lie at the common people. Put simply, the cause of this crisis can be found at the top band of the worlds income and wealth. They created this mess so you'd think have the power to change things, to make positive contributions and negate their own heavy carbon impact, yet the vast vast majority of them decide not to out of greed and spite. The amounts of money the very top bands get its unfathomable, enough money to solve the climate crisis five times over. Yet instead many of the big corporate elites go for lobbying and dirty politics, the fuelling of denialism and the encouragement of unsustainable consumerism, all to protect their empire! As long as the multinational elites continue to spew their bile and toxicity across this planet, I will have no guilt for leaving the lights on. I'm sick and tired of these campaigns telling people to make frugal changes in their life to help stop the climate crisis. In the grand scheme of things, the light bulbs you use means diddly squat! Its just another way for vulture capitalists to evade government action.
  14. Unrestrained international capitalism and neoliberalism have both proven themselves ten times over to be completely incompatible with anything green or environmentally conscious. Putting the responsibility for this climate mess on those at the bottom of the Capitalist pyramid is reprehensible, and the media must make it clear who is really to blame. We can start off with Trump and his sycophants of multinational elites.
  15. I think we would have progressed significantly in terms of our co2 emissions long before 1200ppm becomes viable. Very interesting read however!! I hope people don't take the title as literal as it may seem.
  16. Feels very freakish. Daffodils are out in full bloom, some spring flowers out and bees to accompany them... They'll be in for a shock when things return to 'normal' service.
