I regret none of the climate policies we pushed in Ireland. But we underestimated the backlash | Eamon Ryan (The Guardian)

From rural buses to solar panels, our Green agenda has been transformative. Yet, vested interests and big polluters helped to poison the well of public thinkingEamon Ryan was Irish Green party leader from 2011 to 2024Ireland's Green party went into government in 2020 determined to bring Ireland from laggard to leader on the climate crisis. Public opinion was with us, and we won more than 7% of the national vote.

She found a high street where small businesses said they had come to the end of their resources – and patience. With increased flooding linked to the climate crisis in the UK, Hannah Moore asks her if enough is being done to protect the town. Meanwhile, Helena Horton explains the problems of flood defences in the UK and how other towns may come to see Tenbury Wells as a warning of their own future. Continue reading......
