She has been taken in by years of her father’s speeches and appraisal of his company and can’t see how they are contributing to the Earth’s destruction.

Green Rising is out now! – LAUREN JAMES

Power sector emissions decreased by 20Mt, in large part thanks to solarPV and wind generation increasing by around 95TWh. Without last year’s rise in renewables, power sector emissions would have been around 65MtCO 2 higher. However, power generation contributed more than half of the growth in natural gas emissions, as the trend of coal-to-gas switching resumed after a strong coal rebound in 2021, with natural gas power plants meeting peak cooling demand during the summer’s heat waves. US emissions grew by 0.8% or 36Mt. The buildings sector saw the highest emissions growth, driven by extreme temperatures. The main emissions reductions came from electricity and heat generation, thanks to unprecedented increases in solarPV and wind, as well as coal-to-gas switching. While many other countries reduced their natural gas use, the UnitedStates saw an increase of 89Mt in CO 2 emissions from gas, as it was called upon to meet peak electricity demand during summer heat waves. Buildings sector emissions declined the most, by 60Mt, enabled by exceptionally mild weather from October to December 2022 – the second warmest start to winter in the last 30years – and collective energy conservation measures. Average electricity consumption was lower, even accounting for weather, and electricity use was less sensitive to temperature changes in 2022 than in 2019, pointing to the role of behaviour change. EUheat pump sales reached 2.8million, more than doubling in several countries from the previous year. Meanwhile industry sector CO 2 emissions declined by 42Mt. What all of these documentaries have in common is that they tell the story of how climate change is impacting people in Africa, the most climate vulnerable region in the world. But there is hope. Africa could become a driver to many of the world’s climate solutions. The continent is home to the world’s highest potential for renewable energy and abundant natural resources.

The Easter Rising ( Irish: Éirí Amach na Cásca), [1] also known as the Easter Rebellion, was an armed insurrection in Ireland during Easter Week in April 1916. The Rising was launched by Irish republicans against British rule in Ireland with the aim of establishing an independent Irish Republic while the United Kingdom was fighting the First World War. It was the most significant uprising in Ireland since the rebellion of 1798 and the first armed conflict of the Irish revolutionary period. Sixteen of the Rising's leaders were executed starting in May 1916. The nature of the executions, and subsequent political developments, ultimately contributed to an increase in popular support for Irish independence. A contingent under Seán Connolly occupied Dublin City Hall and adjacent buildings. [75] They attempted to seize neighbouring Dublin Castle, the heart of British rule in Ireland. As they approached the gate a lone and unarmed police sentry, James O'Brien, attempted to stop them and was shot dead by Connolly. According to some accounts, he was the first casualty of the Rising. The rebels overpowered the soldiers in the guardroom but failed to press further. The British Army's chief intelligence officer, Major Ivon Price, fired on the rebels while the Under-Secretary for Ireland, Sir Matthew Nathan, helped shut the castle gates. Unbeknownst to the rebels, the Castle was lightly guarded and could have been taken with ease. [76] The rebels instead laid siege to the Castle from City Hall. Fierce fighting erupted there after British reinforcements arrived. The rebels on the roof exchanged fire with soldiers on the street. Seán Connolly was shot dead by a sniper, becoming the first rebel casualty. [59] By the following morning, British forces had re-captured City Hall and taken the rebels prisoner. [59]

Gabrielle is a climate-change activist who shoots to fame when she becomes the first teenager to display a supernatural ability to grow plants from her skin. Hester is the millionaire daughter of an oil tycoon and the face of the family business. Theo comes from a long line of fishermen, but his parents are struggling to make ends meet. On the face of it, the three have very little in common. Yet when Hester and Theo join Gabrielle and legions of other teenagers around the world in developing the strange new Greenfingers power, it becomes clear that to use their ability for good, they'll need to learn to work together. Elsewhere, some of the headquarters battalion under Michael Mallin occupied St Stephen's Green, where they dug trenches and barricaded the surrounding roads. The 1st battalion, under Edward 'Ned' Daly, occupied the Four Courts and surrounding buildings, while a company under Seán Heuston occupied the Mendicity Institution, across the River Liffey from the Four Courts. The 2nd battalion, under Thomas MacDonagh, occupied Jacob's biscuit factory. The 3rd battalion, under Éamon de Valera, occupied Boland's Mill and surrounding buildings. The 4th battalion, under Éamonn Ceannt, occupied the South Dublin Union and the distillery on Marrowbone Lane. From each of these garrisons, small units of rebels established outposts in the surrounding area. [71] about 26%) were U.K. forces (120 U.K. military personnel, 5 Volunteer Training Corps members, and one Canadian soldier) Under Regulation 14B of the Defence of the Realm Act 1914 1,836 men were interned at internment camps and prisons in England and Wales. [161] As urban areas were becoming the nexus for republicanism, Internees were largely from such areas. [15] [f] Many Internees had not taken part in the Rising; many thereafter became sympathetic to the nationalist cause.

In the UK as a whole, the average figures are approximately as follows for relationship statuses: 45% married, 38% single, 9% divorced, 6% widowed, and 2% separated.protect ecosystems by preserving water sources and forests, using cleaner energy and turning waste into energy Emissions were pushed up by reliance on fossil fuel power plants to meet excess cooling demand during extreme summer heat, with cooling degree days across several regions in 2022 exceeding typical levels or even the maximum seen between 2000 and 2021. In the UnitedStates, the share of natural gas in the power fuel mix surpassed 40% in July and August. Coal power generation in China increased in August by around 15% year-on-year to exceed 500TWh. In both countries, emissions levels for the first half of the year were lower than in 2021, before summer heat waves reversed the trend. For the full year, cooling and heating demand from extreme weather pushed up global emissions by around 60MtCO 2, around two-thirds of which came from additional cooling needs, and the remaining third from heating needs. This accounted for almost one-fifth of the total global increase in CO 2 emissions. Specific challenges in 2022 contributed to the growth in emissions. Of the 321MtCO 2 increase, 60MtCO 2 can be attributed to cooling and heating demand in extreme weather and another 55MtCO 2 to nuclear power plants being offline.

But in a time of widespread corruption and greed, there are plenty of profit-hungry organizations who want to use the Greenfingers for their own ends. And not everyone would like to see the Earth saved... As they navigate first love and family expectations, can the three teenagers pull off the ultimate heist and bring about a green rising? About This Edition ISBN: Figures for relationship status do not include those aged under 16, or those family members aged 16-18 who are in full-time education. Here are a few more examples of what youth climate action looks like. Preventing deforestation in Burundi Shortly after the outbreak of World War I, Roger Casement and John Devoy went to Germany and began negotiations with the German government and military. Casement – later accompanied by Plunkett – persuaded the Germans to announce their support for Irish independence in November 1914. [33] Casement envisioned the recuritment of Irish prisoners of war, aided by a German expeditionary force who would secure the line of the River Shannon, before advancing on the capital. [34] [35] [36] Neither intention came to fruition however the German military did agree to ship arms and ammunition to the Volunteers. [37] After the split and on account of the war, smuggling had become liable and precarious. [38]At COP28, organizers plan to showcase examples of young people taking effective action to protect their communities from climate change, while issuing a global invitation to other youth to join the movement — and a challenge to governments and corporate leaders to follow them.
