CONCERNS about sinkholes along the tunnelling route for the last section of the Corrib gas pipeline at Sruwaddacon Estuary have led residents to instal warning signs. They say they were forced to erect the signs, which state ‘Danger Sinkholes: Keep Back’, because neither Mayo County Council nor the Department of Energy and Natural Resources had taken action.
The residents claim the sinkholes began to appear on May 20 and can be up to eight-foot in depth. read more

It’s pretty safe to say that the Arctic is under pressure like never before. Climate change is warming it faster than any other part of our planet. Sea ice is shrinking.
