• The Indo have a nice little oxegen planner, where you pick all the acts you want to see and it draws up your own little timetable for the possibly all three at once mud/underage shenanigans/tent burning extravagansa.
• Head Rambles goes after global warming, armed with what seems like only a fist full of retardedness. Maybe it’s all just hilarity, who knows, it’s lost on me. If he actually believes any of what he wrote, then I suggest How to Talk to a Climate Skeptic.
• If the boards admins got a penny for every thread with “I’m not a racist but…” they might be very rich indeed.
• Kevin Myers, ever the shock-jock: Africa is giving nothing to anyone — apart from AIDS.
• Dublin and Cork will be ok, everyone else fucked by recession?
• This guy should write a book, or twenty six of them. He’s that good.
• Sellafield decommissioning to take over 100 years. Nice.

Yep, the Community Climate Change Consortium for Ireland (c4i) have released a study showing that it’s going to get hotter and wetter, particularly in the South and East of the country. I think I have experty diagrammed this with my photo above.

[Independent.ie] Ireland to be warmer and wetter in coming decades. - The majority of comments on the article when I checked were pointing out that it’s all LIES.

The launch ad (watch it here) for the whole campaign compares climate change to the historical challenges such as those faced by Eamonn De Velera and Michael Collins. Super Gormley talks briefly about that in this breakingnews.ie video and story here.

The web site is a fairly decent affair, complete with google mash-up which starts zoomed in on Ireland with some pointers showing impacts of climate change. (Mullingar will have an increase in insects apparently.) It’s not obvious, but zoom out to see the full global pointers to impact spots all over the world.

The whats being done at the national level section puts it fairly bluntly that we’re way off our international targets.

• Twenty goes off on a signature rant on scumbags and violence and how to deal with it. Unfortunately, the devil is in the details. You’d have to be captain genius himself to figure out how to solve the issue.
• The global warming issue is debated over on Independent.ie. No, not what to do about it, but whether it’s really real or not.
• Mirdles! At Rick O’Shea.
• Does anyone follow smemom’s serial internet entrepreneurial madness? His latest idea is shiteornot.com, a digg style site where users will be able to post an idea or story and then rate it as shite or not. Genius or misguided?

Do you ever look at the dublin port tunnel traffic cam? It’s very exciting.

Today it shows that they forgot to put a hood over it to protect it from the rain, either that or global warming has the rain falling upwards or something:

Super. See the whole of Dublin grind to a stand still right about…now on DublinTraffic.com.

Whenever I talk to people about driving, their eyes always glaze over when I suggest they get smaller cars, drive less, car pool, etc. In this amazing video Shai Agassi [Wikipedia, blog] speaking at a recent conference called Digital Life Design goes into this addiction and how he intends Israel to become oil-free in 10 years. He explains the car problem succinctly and better than I’ve ever heard it explained and then outlines his proposals and how Israel has already signed up to them.
