    Climate change: Europe is warming the most.

    Athrú aeráide: an Eoraip is tréine atá ag téamh.

    Europe is warming, or being warmed by humans, more than any other continent on the planet, says a new international report on climate change.

    Is í an Eoraip thar aon ilchríoch eile den chruinne is tréine atá ag téamh, nó á téamh ag an duine, a deirtear i dtuarascáil nua idirnáisiúnta faoi athrú aeráide.

    Every decade for thirty years, Europe has seen an average temperature increase of 0.56 degrees, a rate that is twice as strong as the rest of the world.

    Gach deich mbliana le tríocha bliain, bhí meánardú de 0.56 céim ar an teocht san Eoraip, ráta atá dhá oiread níos tréine ná an chuid eile den domhan.

    This means that the temperature in Europe increased by 1.68 degrees during those years.

    Fágann sin gur ardú de 1.68 céim a tháinig ar an teocht san Eoraip i gcaitheamh na mblianta sin.

    However, temperatures are rising even faster in the Arctic region – 0.75 degrees every decade.

    Is tréine fós atá an teocht ag ardú i réigiún an Artaigh, áfach – 0.75 céim gach deich mbliana.

    The result of this catastrophic change is warmer air, warmer seas, melting ice, drier land, the destruction of nature and the disappearance of all the shadows on which all beings live.

    Is é an toradh atá ar an athrú tubaisteach seo aer níos teo, farraigí níos teo, leá oighir, talamh níos tirime, scriosadh dúlra agus dul i léig gach aon cheann de scátha a chéile a maireann gach aon neach orthu.

    The details are in the annual report published by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts and the World Meteorological Organization.

    Tá na mionsonraí sa tuarascáil bhliantúil a d’fhoilsigh an Lárionad Eorpach do Réamhaisnéisí Aimsire Meánraoin agus an Eagraíocht Dhomhanda Meitéareolaíochta.

    In addition to the report’s doomsday predictions, it also highlights the positive side of the situation.

    Chomh maith le tuar tubaiste na tuarascála, tarraingítear aird ann ar an gcor dearfach.

    The progress made in Europe regarding renewable energy is said to be a hopeful forecast.

    Tuar dóchais, a deirtear, is ea an dul chun cinn atá déanta san Eoraip maidir le fuinneamh in- athnuaite.

    In 2025, 46.4% of Europe’s electricity supply will be generated from renewable sources.

    In 2025, is ó fhoinsí in-athnuaite a gineadh 46.4 faoin gcéad de sholáthar leictreachais na hEorpa.

    These sources were mainly wind, water and sun.

    Gaoth, uisce agus grian is mó a bhí sna foinsí sin.

    27.5% of electricity supply was generated from fossil fuels, a significant decrease over thirty years.

    Ó bhreoslaí iontaise a gineadh 27.5 faoin gcéad den soláthar leictreachais, ar laghdú suntasach é sin le tríocha bliain.

    Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/2dgmvzon Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com Legendary singer Moya Brennan has died. An t-amhránaí mór le rá Moya Brennan tar éis bháis. Northwest Reporter The famous singer from the Donegal Gaeltacht, Moya Brennan, has died. Tuairisceoir an Iarthuaiscirt Tá an t-amhránaí cáiliúil as Gaeltacht Dhún na nGall Moya Brennan tar éis bháis. She was 73 years old and had been ill for some time. Bhí sí 73 bliain d’aois agus bhí sí tinn le tamall. Máire Ní Bhraonáin first achieved fame as the lead singer and harpist with the group Clannad from Dobhar in Gaoth Dobhair. Bhain Máire Ní Bhraonáin cáil amach ar an chéad dul síos mar phríomhamhránaí agus mar chláirseoir leis an ghrúpa Clannad as Dobhar i nGaoth Dobhair. Máire was the eldest of nine children – Clannad – who took music seriously since 1970. Ba í Máire an duine ba shine de naonúr clainne – Clannad – a chuaigh leis an cheol go dáiríre ó 1970. She, her sister Eithne (Enya) and her brothers captivated millions with their modern versions of Irish music before taking to the international stage and singing English songs. Chuir sí féin, a deirfiúr Eithne (Enya) agus a deartháireacha na milliúin faoi gheasa lena leaganacha nua-aimseartha ar cheoltaí Gaeilge sular thug siad faoin stáitse idirnáisiúnta agus faoi amhráin Bhéarla. It was their own Irish language song they recorded for the television series Harry’s Game in 1982 that introduced them to the wider world outside of Ireland. Ba é a n-amhrán Gaeilge féin a thaifead siad faoi choinne na sraithe teilifíse Harry’s Game i 1982 a chuir in aithne iad don saol mór taobh amuigh d’Éirinn. “The east and the west, which have always come, the moon and the sun will go… “Imeoidh soir is siar, a dtáinig ariamh, an ghealach is an ghrian … ” – part of the significance of those lyrics and Máire’s magical voice together. ” – cuid suntais na liricí sin agus guth draíochtúil Mháire in éineacht. From a young age, Máire was involved in music at home with her mother Máire Ní Dhúgáin, later in dance halls and in her father’s pub, Leo Brennan, and in local gigs in Gaoth Dobhair. Ó bhí Mháire ina girseach bheag bhí sí ag gabháil cheoil sa bhaile lena máthair Máire Ní Dhúgáin, níos moille i hallaí damhsa agus i dteach tábhairne a hathar, Leo Brennan, agus i ngeamaireachtaí áitiúla I nGaoth Dobhair. Much later, she recorded music with some of the greatest performers of her time, such as Bono and Shane MacGowan. I bhfad ina dhiaidh sin, thaifead sí ceol i gcuideachta roinnt de mhóroirfidigh a linne, leithéidí Bono agus Shane MacGowan. She recorded a total of 25 albums – with Clannad and on her own – and sold 20 million of them. 25 albam san iomlán a thaifead sí – le Clannad agus ina haonar – agus díoladh 20 milliún acu. In the Year of the Millennium, she sang her song Perfect Time on World Youth Day in Rome in front of Pope John Paul II and two million pilgrims. I mBliain na Mílaoise, cheol sí a hamhrán Perfect Time ar Lá Domhanda na hÓige sa Róimh os comhair an Phápa Eoin Pól II agus dhá mhilliún oilithreach. Her voice can also be heard on major films such as Titanic, King Arthur and To End All Wars. Tá a guth le cluinstin fosta ar scannáin mhóra mar Titanic, King Arthur agus To End All Wars. Since 2007, Moya has performed in the female group T with the Maggies with Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh and Maighread and Tríona NÍ Dhomhnaill. Ó 2007, sheinn Moya sa ghrúpa ban T with the Maggies le Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh agus Maighread agus Tríona NÍ Dhomhnaill. Since 2013 she has returned to harp music with a new traditional group. Ó 2013 phill sí ar cheol na cláirsí le buíon úr traidisúnta. Moya often donated her musical talents free of charge to causes and charities close to her heart, including the families of the Creeslough disaster in her own county. Ba mhinic a bhronn Moya a bua féin ceoil in aisce ar lucht cúise agus ar chumainn charthanachta a bhí gar dá croí, teaghlaigh thubaiste an Chraoslaigh ina contae féin ina measc. In 2023, Máire was awarded the Donegal Personality of the Year Award and the following year Donegal County Council awarded her and Clannad the freedom of the county for their contributions to music and the Irish language. In 2023, bronnadh Gradam Phearsa Dhún na nGall ar Mháire agus an bhliain dar gcionn bhronn Comhairle Contae Dhún na nGall saoirse an chontae uirthi féin agus ar Chlannad as a raibh déanta acu ar son an cheoil agus na Gaeilge. She is survived by her husband and manager Tim Jarvis and their two children Paul and Aisling. Maireann a fear céile agus a bainisteoir Tim Jarvis agus a mbeirt chlainne Paul agus Aisling.

    Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/24yy296s Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com Blockades, queues, traffic jams on the 4th day of the fuel protest. Imhsuite, scuainí, tranglam tráchta ar an 4ú lá den agóid breosla. There are now fuel shortages in many places due to the blockades in place at fuel storage facilities in Limerick and Galway and at the Whitegate refinery in Cork, the only one in the State. Tá ganntananas breosla ina lán áiteanna anois de bharr an imshuí atá ar bun ag ionaid stórála breosla i Luimneach agus i nGaillimh agus ag scaglann an Gheata Bháin i gCorcaigh, an t-aon cheann sa Stát. Petrol station operators are predicting that 500 locations will be without any fuel tonight. Tá lucht na ngaráistí peitril ag tuar go mbeidh 500 ionad gan aon bhreosla anocht. This has already happened to hundreds of others, in the south and west. Tá sin tarlaithe cheana i gcás na gcéadta eile cheana, sa deisceart agus san iarthar. There is no shortage of fuel, but supplies are stagnant in storage facilities and in Whitegate. Níl aon ghantannas breosla ann, ach tá na soláthairtí i bhfastó sna hionaid stórála agus sa Gheata Bán. Because no fuel is being released from these, they have no capacity to accept any other cargo, which the Taoiseach referred to today when he said that we will have to ship oil cargoes at a time when the rest of the world is competing for them. De bharr nach bhfuil aon bhreosla á scaoileadh amach astu sin, níl aon acmhainn iontu glacadh le lastas ar bith eile, rud ar thagair an Taoiseach dó inniu á rá go mbeidh orainn lastais ola a chur ó dhoras tráth a bhfuil an cuid eile den domhain in iomaíocht faoina leithéid. An example of this is the Thun Gemini, a tanker anchored in Galway Bay with six million litres of oil on board, fuel that cannot be brought ashore at Galway port. Sampla de sin é an Thun Gemini, taincéir atá ar ancaire i gCuan na Gaillimhe agus sé mhilliún líotar ola ar bord aici, breosla nach féidir a thabhairt i dtír ag calafort na Gaillimhe. Although Dublin Port is accessible, traffic congestion throughout the city has caused significant delays in getting tankers to the garages in the East. Cé go bhfuil rochtain ar Chalafort Bhaile Átha Cliath, tá na hagóídí tráchta ar fud na hardchathrach ar cur an-mhoill ar taincéirí a thabhairt chuig na garáistí san Oirthear. And even if the blockade were to end tonight, it could be a week before supply is restored. Agus fiú dá dtiocfadh deireadh leis an imshuí anocht, d’fhéadfadh seachtain bheith ann sula gcuirfí an soláthar ar ais ina cheart. In Whitegate in Cork, there was a standoff between Gardaí and the blockaders for a while as they were escorting a third tanker into the refinery, but it ended shortly afterwards. Sa nGeata Bán i gCorcaigh, bhí sé ina leamhsháinn idir Ghardai agus lucht an imshuí ar feadh tamaill nuair a bhí an tríú taincéir á thionlacan isteach sa scaglann acu, ach scoir sí gan móran achair. This solution was set up for the purpose of providing emergency vehicles. Ar mhaithe le soláthar d’fheithiclí éigeandála a cuireadh an réiteach seo ar bun. Several lorries carrying animal supplies and water cleaning chemicals have been unloaded from Foynes Port on the Shannon Estuary, but no oil tankers are being unloaded yet. Tá roinnt leoraithe le soláthairtí d’ainmhithe agus ceimiceáin glanta uisce scaoilte amach as Calafort Fainge ar inbhear na Sionainne, ach níl aon taincéir ola á scaoileadh amach fós. But traffic conditions on many motorways and national roads are in disarray due to blockades by protesters. Ach tá cúrsaí tráchta ar go leor mótarbhealach agus bóithre náisiúnta in aimhréid de bharr imshuí ag an lucht agóíde. People can get an update. There are long queues on the M1 northbound due to that side of the road being closed at Dundalk. There are also long delays on the M50 southbound and northbound as protesters have blocked that major ring road. Is féidir le daoine uasdátú a fháil Tá scuainí fada ar an M1 ó thuaidh de bharr an taobh sin den bhóthar bheith dúnta ag Dún Dealgan Tá moill fhada freisin ar an M50 ó dheas agus ó thuaidh agus blocáil déanta ag agóídithe ar an cuarbhóthar mór sin. There are also some difficulties on the N7 southbound. Tá roinnt deacrachtaí ar an N7 ó dheas freisin. There are approximately 60 tractors, trucks and buses sitting on O’Connell Street in the capital but there is a flow of traffic on the north and south piers and the rest of the Luas is operating. Tá tuairim is 60 tarracóir, trucail agus bus ina suí ar Shráid Uí Chonaill san ardchathair ach tá sruth tráchta ar na céanna thuaidh agus theas agus tá an chuid eile den Luas ag feidmhniú. Dublin Bus has a limited service in the city centre but the company says passenger numbers are down on yesterday. Tá seirbhís theoranta ag Bus Átha Cliath i lár na cathrach ach deir an ...

Absolute rubbish. You won’t learn Irish from this podcast. Just a series of random statements from current affairs ( which won’t be current anymore). Might be useful if you already speak Irish and want to practice listening skills if you can stand the painful speech. Otherwise avoid.
