Hidden and lost weather observations contain hugely valuable information about historical climate variability and changes. By Kevin Healion, Simon Noone, David Smyth, Peter Thorne, Maynooth University; Ciara Ryan, Met Éireann and Ed Hawkins, University of Reading.
I'm glad I'm not a teacher today. If I'm honest, I'm glad I'm not a teacher every day. Couldn't do it. But I'm especially glad after this ham-fisted announcement by Associate Education Minister David Seymour that, if schools want to have teacher-only days, they're going to have to have them outside term time. Which is essentially telling the teachers that if they want to have any sort of professional development or training, they need to do it during their own time. They have to chew up some of their annual leave or other leave entitlement to do it. Can you imagine any other employer trying to get away with that? “Oh yeah, looks like a great course, Shona. But you'll have to do it during your holidays.” As if that would happen. But that's what David Seymour wants principals to tell their staff. And what makes this approach by the Government so ham-fisted, is that they're only doing it for the people screaming on the sidelines. The people who like to bang-on about teachers having 10 weeks holiday a year. The people who bang-on ignorantly about teachers only working from 9 ‘til 3. They're also doing it to grease up to all the parents who like to whinge about teacher-only days. I've been there, done that when it comes to dealing with the inconvenience that teacher-only days can be. Just like everyone else, I've been a bit cynical at times about teacher-only days being held on the first day of term or the last day of term. But, deep down, I've known that they are held for very good reasons. Like everyone else —especially when our kids were young— it meant that we had to juggle things a bit on teacher-only days. And —because I've been there, done that— I think I'm qualified to say that, sometimes, parents can be the biggest bunch of whingers when it comes to school. I can't remember specific examples, but I bet, at times, I whinged with the best of them when our kids were at school. Some parents are more inclined than others to whinge - but we're all pretty good at it. And this is what the Government is responding to with this directive to schools to not have teacher-only days during term time. And what makes the Government's approach on this even more ham-fisted, is that it's doing this at the same time as it's telling teachers that there are a whole lot of changes on the way, a new maths curriculum —all of that— and, at the same time, they're telling teachers to forget about having teacher-only days during term time. But did someone not tell David Seymour that these teacher-only days are when the teachers are going to get their heads around all these changes the Government wants happening from Term 1 next year? Oh that doesn't matter. Sod the teachers as long as we're getting brownie points from voters who, when it comes down to it, don't know a thing about teacher-only days but “goddam it if I have to get someone to look after the kids after school because of another blimmin' teacher-only day”. I see this is being described as “a kick in the guts” for under-pressure staff. Peter Thorne is the acting principal of Belmont Primary School on Auckland's North Shore and he's saying that it's a kick in the guts because teacher-only days are the opportunity for teachers to get-together and focus on their professional needs and the needs of their students. And what's the problem with that? What this is, is an assault on teachers. And they have every right to feel that way, especially, when the Government is dressing this up as part of the solution to the problem we have with truancy. Do you really think that the odd teacher-only day now and then is getting kids into the habit of wagging school? It's absolute nonsense.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Peter Thorne, Professor in Physical Geography (Climate Change) at Maynooth University in Ireland and Director of the Irish Climate Analysis and Research Units group (ICARUS)
In March 2023, the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a synthesis report warning that the world needs to act fast to reduce emissions. The synthesis report is likely to be the go-to document for many stakeholders setting their climate policies and plans over the next several years. In this episode of ESG Insider, we hear from two authors of the IPCC report: Dr. Aditi Mukherji, who is Director of the Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Impact Area Platform at the Consultative Group for International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). CGIAR is a global research partnership that works with scientists around the world on agricultural innovation and is dedicated to transforming food, land and water systems in a climate crisis. And we speak to Dr. Peter Thorne, who is Professor in Physical Geography at Maynooth University in Ireland. He is also Director of the Irish Climate Analysis and Research Units group at the university. "The future we write depends upon the emissions choices we make today and in the coming decades," Peter tells us. He says that the world has the tools to stop global warming, but this will require a concerted effort across all parts of society. "We should get to net zero as quickly as we can. That is the very best, most resilient way that we can move forward," he says.

The extreme heatwaves and droughts of Summer 2022 affected hundreds of millions of people across the Northern Hemisphere, and although exceptional to us, should they now be expected in a warming climate? Will last summer be considered average or even cool later this century? In this month's episode, Noel is speaking with Professor Peter Thorne, a professor in Physical Geography at Maynooth University and the Director of the Irish Climate Analysis and Research Units group (ICARUS). Professor Thorne is also a Lead Author for the Assessment reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Together, they discuss the current climate path we are on, how individual extreme events can be attributed to climate change, the opportunities presented by climate mitigation and outlooks for the future.

We speak to Peter Thorne, a climate change professor at Maynooth University and a coordinating lead author with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, to examine what was different about Ireland's recent hot spell, and what it signals for the years ahead. What type of temperatures could we experience, how frequent will they become, and is Irish infrastructure prepared for it? Also, how quickly could we turn the tide if effective action was taken on global emissions? The Explainer is brought to you by The Journal. Providing open access to valuable journalism in Ireland has been the aim of The Journal for a decade.

“Redesigning traditional weed management practices in faba bean fields to optimize food-feed production in the smallholder system” with Peter Thorne. Researchers work hard to develop best practices and recommendations for farmers. However, cultural practices may affect how farmers do or are able to implement these recommendations on their farms. This episode, Peter discusses his work bridging the gap between researcher recommendations and farmer needs in smallholder Ethiopian farms. Tune in to learn: What kinds of farmer requirements may impact researcher recommendations How regional traits can impact farmer implementations What to consider when balancing food-feed production Tips for approaching sustainable intensification in smallholder farms If you would like more information about this topic, this episode's paper is available here: https://doi.org/10.1002/agj2.20779 This paper is always freely available.

Industrial-scale farms known as concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) have become an increasing focal point for environmental health research because of their emissions and concerns they may contribute to antibiotic resistance, adverse community impacts, and zoonotic disease outbreaks. They are also a source of political controversy in states including North Carolina and Missouri where government agencies are grappling with decisions about CAFO monitoring and permitting. In this podcast, Peter Thorne describes some of the health concerns surrounding these facilities. Thorne, director of the NIEHS-funded Environmental Health Sciences Research Center at the University of Iowa, is the lead author of an EHP mini-monograph on environmental health effects of CAFOs.
