This is well worth a watch Leo Varadkar's speech to the nation on #covid a year ago reimagined to focus on the #climatecrisis, by our DCU Institute for Climate & Society students Ellen Hegarty 💙💛 & Darragh Wynne Check out their new podcast @CovidAlarmClock, which launched last week

What if #COVID was #climate? This clever rework of Leo Varadkar speech helps us see the connections one year on from lockdown. Bill McKibben Naomi Klein Greta Thunberg youtu.be/oN0swE7xLAQ

This is so powerful!

If you have 3 & 1/2 minutes this morning, sit down with a nice cup of tea/coffee and watch this. It's a re-imagining of the speech Leo Varadkar made this time last year, the day our lives changed. But it's not about the #COVIDcrisis it's about the #ClimateCrisis

A powerful animation putting words on what many of us feel

“COVID-19 is not a random event. It is a symptom of an economic system that is destroying the natural world.” “In 2008, we bailed out the banks. In 2021, we need to bail out the planet” — George Monbiot.

Watch this fantastic video made by some of our MSc in Climate Change class about the #ClimateBill. It's a great response to a video posted by Michael Healy-Rae earlier this week.

It's (at least) the second excellent response to MHR's video by our students this week. DCU Institute for Climate & Society graduate & one half of @CovidAlarmClock Darragh Wynne mercilessly dissected the video's misinformation in this brilliant thread x.com/darrwynne/stat…

@CovidAlarmClock This is so, so upsetting. We've pleaded with the Dept of Agriculture in the past about this. We'll do it again: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

Would you like to know a bit more about #climatechange? The @CovidAlarmClock uses our experience of Covid to comprehend the huge + abstract subject of climate change. It's light hearted + digestible with plenty of laughs Every episode ends with a suggestion for a #ClimateAction
